Pyrat XO Reserve

This was my second rum, after Don Papa. I like it’s similar taste profile, however it’s not artificial like the Don Papa feels to me now that I’ve experienced finer rums.

Pyrat has notes of vanilla and caramel and some oak, but is still a far cry from dry rums. The profile is vey drinkable and I am looking forward to another bottle soon.

Demerara rum. Sweet taste. Citrus. Orange peel and vanilla flavor. Nice but alcohol stroke is very powerful at the beginning.

Taste cheap, synthetic orange rum. Will never buy again

This is my favourite cheap rum, it nevers fails me.

Tastes like a disinfectant with orange added after. Had high hopes but it only has looks going for it.

Mild in come and taste. A little banana up front mellowing to date at the end. Not the nicest finish. Good for mixing, but not at this price.

not very smooth. Very astringent. Weird finish..

Příjemné překvapení v téhle nižší cenové kategorii.

It pains me to give this rum a 5 rating, but I would rarely drink it again. This was my favorite rum 15 years ago before they sold to Padron. The old seeded glass bottles I collected, but the current day product is heavily scented and taste of orange like a bit of Padron Citronge mixed in. Will not buy again only with drink at bar if other options Bacardi white or Captain Morgan. Not that there’s anything wrong with those two but mixing only.

Nice bottle,
First taste was ok..
But second was like any other cheaper bottle
