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.

Smells artificial. Tastes artificial. I'm not really sure how this is even considered a rum. If you see this one in your local store walk on past it.

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.

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..

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.

Most of the reviews I've read on here explain this rum as overly strong on the alcohol taste. However, that was not my experience at all.
The nose on this rum is quite nice; a subtle hint of vanilla and sugar with an overwhelming scent of orange. As per the reviews, I was going to let it sit in the glass for a little while before sipping, but the smell was too good to wait.
Upon my first sip I was hit immediately with a pungent orange flavor, but to be honest it tasted quite artificial, almost like orange flavored cough syrup. That was really what stuck with me after a few sips, which made it hard to pick out other flavors. After about half my glass, the rum was too sweet for me to continue drinking straight. So, I splashed a bit of Coke in my glass and it was immediately much better on the pallet. Obviously, mixing any spirit with any other substance reduces its original flavor, but due to the pungent orange flavor of this rum, it balanced out perfectly.
This is a very good mixing rum, just don't mix in too much coke, it should be a "Rum with coke" not the other way around.
