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.

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.
"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."

I'd heard the buzz, and was eager to give it a try for myself.
On first pour, I hardly picked up any citrus notes (it had been store in the fridge). It was rather harsh, slightly bitter, but really not that bad. As it warmed, the citrus came out in full force. But it wasn't terrible, and not exactly what I'd call "artificial," either. It just smells like mid-range rum with some orange (maybe with a touch of lemon) essential oil added in, and some sugar. Maybe it's soaked with citrus rind at some point (hence the bitterness), maybe it's artificial flavoring, who knows.
At the end of the day, this is far from the worst rum out there—it's really not that bad. As a sipper, it's not very good, but as a mixer I think it would be fantastic (if overpriced). Daiquiris, Mai Tais (along with a good, strong Jamaican), Nui Nuis all could be made deliciously with this stuff.
That said, there are plenty of better rums out there.
