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.

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.

Nice and sweet Guyanan Rum. A $50 bottle which can hold its own against some $70 bottles.

Очень красивая бутылка, толстой стекло, медальон, оформление супер.
Не спиртуозен, если дать подышать очень легко пьётся. В аромате море цитрусовых и фруктов. Очень лёгкий. Браво!

Gehört wohl schon fast eher in die Kategorie flavoured Rum.
Schmekt irgendwie künstlich.

Strong flavors in every sense. Plenty of orange and citrus. Best sipped chilled. They did anvery good job at letting each flavor stand out while none, other than orange take control. Keep in mind that this is a cork top, there will be cork particles in your drinks. Great branding and awesome looking bottle. Owned by the Patron brand.

This rhum seems very forced. The aroma is artificial orange, the taste is very orange/chemical. There is some sweetness, but mostly orange followed by a light burn.

Hated this rum on first taste. Boozy and lacking character. After I let it rest, the booziness settled and the flavor came out. Orange and vanilla forward. Still not my favorite, but drinkable on ice.

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.
