Pyrat XO Reserve

I rated this a 6 but it’s actually closer to a 5.5 IMO. I’ve tried it neat, over ice and mixed with coke but it just doesn’t stand out in any incarnation. Very prominent alcohol smell on the nose with some orange peel and not much else. No sweetness on the tongue with the taste pretty much being the same as the nose with a bit of butter on the finish. High hopes but they never materialized.

This has been a nice alternative to drinking up my expensive Bumbu, smooth and smells nice.

I used to like that. It is a bit expensive for its overall profile and not that much of a bargain, but still nice! It can please you, alright. It's a love or hate it, rum. Used to sip but as others note, there are many better choices out there. "Gateway" rum, if i ever saw any!

Vôňa krásna výrazná po citrusoch
Ale chuť to kazí je tam príliš veľa umelej príchute

Niet slecht maar je proeft goe orange smaak. Voor de collectie aan te vullen altijd goe.

Nice taste of orange and nice to deseet. You get tired of it quickly

Bloody hell! Be this a rum or a liqueur? She be sweet with hints of vanilla - as one would expect from a proper rum - but there also be orange, honey, and a hint of cola dancin' around my nose. As for taste, there be several fightin' for supremacy. First be orange and a bit of lemon, tastin' like a triple sec. Odd for a rum. Then, vanilla and brown sugar join in on the fray, but only briefly. Then, out of nowhere, there be a STRONG honey flavor lowerin' the boom and makin' the others run for safety below deck. When the dust settles, there be a bitter flavor, like the worst part of an orange rind that be dipped in black pepper. Might this be a sippin' rum? Aye, this not be an overly offensive rum, but there be better rums to be had, matey! arrgh!

I gave it a 5 because 4 was a flawed bottle. The Bottle's only flaw, was the alcohol in it. Really a horrible smelling and tasting rum. Completely smelled and tasted like lighter fluid. I got it as a gift and at first, thought it was a joke.

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.

Sviezi, pomarancovy, menej vyrazny rumik s nadhernou dochutou.
