Pyrat XO Reserve

I enjoy this rum with ginger ale and lots of ice. There is better out there but also a lot worse!

Don’t love it. Don’t hate it. Like the orange fruit. No burn. Fine.

By far the best Rum. Great for everything. So far this is my favorite. I still have more to try. So far its been an adventure.

Smells artificial. Tastes artificial. I'm not really sure how this is even considered a rum. If you see this one in your local store walk on past it.

This was my second rum, after Don Papa. I like it’s similar taste profile, however it’s not artificial like the Don Papa feels to me now that I’ve experienced finer rums.

Pyrat has notes of vanilla and caramel and some oak, but is still a far cry from dry rums. The profile is vey drinkable and I am looking forward to another bottle soon.

Demerara rum. Sweet taste. Citrus. Orange peel and vanilla flavor. Nice but alcohol stroke is very powerful at the beginning.

Taste cheap, synthetic orange rum. Will never buy again

This is my favourite cheap rum, it nevers fails me.

I cannot understand all the hate. While i readily agree that the main selling point of this product, is the bottle design, presentation and marketing overall, it is still quite decent. Also yes, it is expensive, certainly not one of those under the category "you get what you pay for". But this is by no means a terrible rum, as many make it out to be. It was my standard, for some time. I really liked it, due to a rich and complex taste and its outstanding aroma. I am not an expert like others, but it was nowhere near regreattable getting it, at least in my books. I even gifted one for a special occasion, to an important person for me and it makes out a nice gift overall, as well. I also outgrew it, because the newer spiced rums won me entirely, but this specific product still holds a special place, in my rum lover's heart.

Tastes like a disinfectant with orange added after. Had high hopes but it only has looks going for it.
