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.
The squat Pyrat XO rum bottle shape is inspired by the typical design of rum bottles kept by pirates and ship captains in the 19th century.

The initial flavor is very rough. Hits you like a scorn woman's slap across your face. And as others have pointed out, the orange flavoring is overwhelming. Luckily I purchased a mini bottle for about 12 bucks. And I would agree that it does mellow with time, but who's got 2 hours to plan out a glass of rum? So they get a little credit for presentation and a taste that can improve with time. Bottom line: there are many better options.
Taking the leap from beer geek to Rum nerd, and starting with the Pyrat XO after hearing about it at Da Conch Shack in Turks & Caicos. This rum hits me with bright fruit flavors. It's smooth and didn't leave any alcohol "burn". A nice starter sipping rum.
i took a chance on this rum as the store we were at in Florida had a sale on! $11 for a small bottle. I only drank this with Cola, but really enjoyed the subtle spices and vanilla overtones. A lot more expensive in Canada, but one I still go back to. Will have to try "on the rocks" the next time I buy a bottle!
Taste to most of orange, to synthetic, to sweet.
Not my cop of the!
So many people talk about this rum that I had to taste it. Tried it by one of my friends, but I felt disappointed. I really like the packaging but the liquor does not fit my taste. Immediately switched my glass for a good old Diplomatic ;-)
Je viens de l'acheter pour me faire mon propre avis et je ne fais pas parti des partisans de ce rhum épicés. Gout de zeste d'orange, surfait pour moi.
This is a rum that needs to sit and let some volatile fumes escape and let the drink mellow before sipping it. The tastes are sublime but if you chug a shot from the bottle you'd never get to find out.
Did I mention it's flavored with Orange? I purchased a bottle at Total Wine, on the suggestion of a forum member that I trust. While I should have known to do a bit of reading on it first, I simply purchased it. Well, it's the rum version of Cointreau or Grand Marnier liqueur. In my opinion, Pyrat XO is not rum, it's a rum-liqueur. I read the reviews only after purchasing it.
I gave it a 6 rating, not because it's a poor product, it's not. But because it did not mention orange anywhere on the bottle, even though it has an orange ribbon, orange lettering and orange tag. Had I wanted an orange flavored rum, I would have looked for one.
With that in mind, it's very pleasant to sip. It's smooth, flavorful and has a nice little bite to it. As I now see in other reviews, it does need some time in the glass to mellow a touch. Otherwise it has a bit of an
artificial orange-chemical taste at first. This is not a rum to drink straight from the bottle!
Would I purchase it again? Probably not. I prefer a smooth sipping rum (which this is), that actually tastes like rum (which this does not) . However, I have not experimented with it in mixed drinks. So, it might be ideal for certain mixed drinks, but that's not my thing. I like my rum straight up in a whiskey glass.
This is a love hate rum. I don't get the cleanser remarks. I do get that it has a very strong orange taste to it that no other rum has and you may not like that. It also has hints of vanilla. It's a light rum and particularly refreshing in the summer months when mixed with a little club soda. I find I can drink this one fast versus sipping. It's not as complex as the sippers but it's refreshing, unique and I always seem to want another. Some here don't like it. If you think it tastes like cleanser feel free to send me the rest of your bottle!
"Had wine not been the drink of choice 2,000 or so years ago, Jesus would have probably turned every drop of water on earth into Pyrat Rum XO Reserve"

"it’s like an orange Chuck Norris came through the joint, belted out a roundhouse kick to the face..."
"Pyrat XO rum review by Lance from RumConnection"
A very definite hit of oranges.
"The orange taste is very much at the forefront and the burn leaves behind a bitter tang of orange peel."

Deze mooie, ietwat oldfashionate piratenfles oogt heel mooi in je collectie en zal zeker meespelen bij de verkoop ervan.
Maar niet alleen het oog wil geprikkeld worden.
Mocht dit mijn eerste kennismaking zijn met rum, zou ik na het ruiken het al opgegeven hebben. Deze blend van verschillende (aangekochte en niet zelf gedistilleerde) rum ruikt bij aanzet niet natuurlijk, het heeft zelfs iets van een chemische verfachtige geur. Maar wanneer je nog eens dieper gaat ruiken en je sluit de ogen vind je toetsen van citrus en overgearomatiseerde sinaassnoepjes terug (heeft er iemand in het geniep wat Cointreau bijgegoten?).
Speciaal, niet waauw, maar toch een derde snif waardig. Het niet kunnen thuisbrengen van deze geur zal na de eerste sip je nog niet op het juiste spoor zetten. Het wat stropige, ronde gevoel ebt heel snel weg wanneer alweer die niet te definiëren artificiele smaak het overneemt. Een sterk gevoel van alcohol zinderd nog een tijdje na. Lekker kan ik het niet echt noemen, maar enorm intrigerend. Wat mij verplicht nog eens te proeven en nog eens. En zo, na enkele dagen en een halve fles verder weet ik niet wat ik met deze voor mij bijna overflavoured rum moet doen. Links laten liggen of toch trachten te doorgronden.
Mooi om in je collectie te hebben onder het mom: 'ik zal je iets laten proeven, dit is ook rum...'. Maar bij nader inzien wil ik mijn vrienden toch liever onderdompelen in 'echte, stoere, meer mannelijke' rums.
