Pyrat XO Reserve

too overrated. Too alcoholic, too simple, too young. I couldn't find any proper information about it's real age, to my guess, 4/5 of the spirits were maximum 3-4 years. So, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it.

Are you sure that it is a rum ?!? ... seems blended with Grand Marnier. Too much orange flavour. Advised just if you like the "pirate bottle"

I probably smelled oranges, but otherwise I didn't like anything why I should go back to this rum. I had to do something to finish the bottle and make room for proper rums ...

Pomeranče jsem asi cítil, ale jinak v tom nebylo nic, proč bych se měl vracet a měl jsem co dělat, abych láhev dopil a udělal místo pořádným rumům...

Tenhle rum jsem dostal na návštěvě u kamaráda a říkám, že jde o naprostý průměr, který neurazí, ani nenadchne. Není ani příliš výrazný, ani příliš nevýrazný. Vlastně by se dali s trochou nadsázky říct, že jde o typický rum. Hezky voní. Ale protože vím, že pro jedno kvítí slunce nesvítí, tak mu dám určitě ještě šanci. Uvidíme, třeba se odleží

Un rhum assez particulier qui est assez sur l'agrume tant au nez qu'en bouche.

Bought it out of sheer curiosity after reading the reviews here. It's a half-decent rum but don't give any credit to comment saying it suddenly becomes good after aeration. It tastes like an $25 rum with after the cork has rotted in the bottle. The strong cork taste is not a delightful one and when combined with the strong alcohol hit, you're left wondering if it's even good in a cocktail. Gonna be keeping this in my fridge along with a bottle of coke so I have some half-decent Cuba Libres when I have guests and don't want to serve a $10 rum.

Not a terrible rum, but certainly overpriced.

The best thing here is the flair in packaging, including a little metal pendant with some sort of Buddha type character, a yellow hand tied ribbon, etc.

The rum is a fine mixer but not very memorable.

This rum is overpowered by an orange zest every way. If you try to kill it with coke, it turns into orange coke. $50 Canadian is too much for this.

One of my early, post basic bacardi light rums. I had it as a 5 back then, and decided to give it another try as it was on sale at Costco. I should have left well enough alone. The orange flavor was disturbing at best. Mixed really didn’t help. At least there wasn’t a burn and the Buddha chain remains cool. down to a 3.5 to 4.0

Auf meiner Reise durch das Rum-Imperium bin ich irgendwann natürlich über den Pyrat XO gestolpert. Tolle Flasche, nette Aufmachung. Die Flasche geöffnet, ein Gläschen eingegossen und erst mal ausgiebig geschnuppert. Ergebnis: scharfer Alkohol und extremer Geruch nach Orange - sehr verwirrend. Und der Geschmack bestätigt das Gerochene. Der eine mag es mögen, ich leider nicht. Könnte sich gut in Cocktails oder in Longdrinks machen.
