Pyrat XO Rum is produced from nine different Caribbean rums that are blended and then aged up to 15 years in used American sweet oak barrels.

While this isn't the best rum I've ever had, it is good enough to drink straight up. So much of this is personal opinion that it's hard to truly rate something that everyone will agree on.
I read another review where the writer commented that it just needed some breathing time and then it was very good. That may be the case, what I’ve always had has been very consistent. Not “great or exceptional” but definitely above average.

You cannot beat this rum for the price. Very smooth with vanilla and cocoa notes.

Quite enjoyable orange liquore. Very simple flavour of orange at nose and mouth too. Nothing else. Insanely expensive compare to its average quality. Nice marketing do not change noobish character of rum.

The Pyrat XO actually got me into premium rums. Although with its very special note of citrus fruits it may not everyones taste but experiencing a flavor like this in a fine and pure spirit is not only surprising but although inspirational.

It's rich, smooth and not to forget, it is a pretty stylish drink. When it comes to a tasting with friends who have no experience in rum, this one is definitely a door opener.

I got this because I wanted to try something different and the bottle looked cool for my collection. The rum is sharp and you can definitely taste it. Not smooth and not one to pick up and share

Voici un rhum assez doux qui se boit accompagné de quelques glaçons,

Premières impressions, au nez, un rhum très doux aux arômes d'agrumes et de vanille. En bouche, il est assez liquoreux et on retrouve les arômes d'orange.
La finale est assez longue sur des notes douces et sucrées.

On peut le boire sec, frais ou avec des glaçons :)

+ sweet taste, gentle flavor, price category, citrus and vanilla aroma
- for someone too much sweet, not for every occasion

I think this is a rum good to start with for people who never tried rum before, it's not complicated flavours and "easy" to drink. Not a top one but good enough, also I like the design and the cork noise hehe

I'm not exactly an expert here, but after sipping this stuff, and reading the reviews here, i am quite surprised. I come over from a whisky (mostly bourbon) background, and I've got to say before you say this is "harsh" go try a good stiff sip of rye.
anyways, what I found in this drink was really neat. after smelling it, most of what I am getting is what I would describe as some kind of caramelized vanilla. after swishing it around a little, it comes through as more like the molasses it comes from. on my first sip, I thought it tasted almost like pure fruit juice, very sweet flavor. as it settled in my mouth, I started feeling more and more molasses in my mouth, like I just had a sip out of a jar of thin molasses... wow! through the whole experience, you do taste a subtle mix of oak in the drink, not too strong at all but it's a nice addition in the palate. overall, nothing close to harsh, but to me, it has two really strong flavors in the mix that you should be aware of.
