Pyrat XO Reserve

.....................................................

Really a great solera Rhum!
The density is medium-high, typical from melassa of sugar cane.
The smell is well balaced from the sweet and the alcool, first zip is really great, sweet, vanilla, wood and caramel, but after few second become smooth and you get the expeted alcool effect. Stay in the mouth for longer pleasure.
Price/ Quality 9 stars

Raw at first. Develops nicely if left to air for several minutes after the pour. Prominent notes of orange & vanilla. Good value at +/- $25.

Not a good rum, very harsh and taste like gas. I might choose it over Barcardi as a mixer, but barely.

I read a lot of positive reviews , but I am so disappointed with this rum
The best part of this liquid is bottle. very nice.
Smell and flavour are the same....ethanol + orange, very artificial ... spirit is so sharp.

Many rums over-index on certain undertones... molasses, oak, etc. This rum over-indexes on the orange peel taste, but it's not bad, it's different. I appreciate variety, so I appreciate having this bottle in my rum cabinet. There is also a hint of vanilla. This is a nice rum to pull out when you need to reset your palate before a finer endeavor.

Velmi dobrý potenciál decentního pomerače a vanilky skazí pepřově stiplavé zakončení. Nevím jeslti to ovlivnilo jídlo, nebo jiné rumy předtím, ale přijde mi jako by do Pyratu dali trochu pepře na konec, což celý dojem sníží na 7b.

Flasche sieht cool aus und ist von Hand nummeriert.
Geschmack:Orange, caramel, citrus Früchte

On the rocks oder für ein Cocktail ideal. Man kann den aber auch pur trinken .

Amber with tons of fruity and floral notes. Citrus and berries with some peach are very easy to taste. Neat or with one ice cube is perfect.

Not a bad rum to mix a more complex cocktail with.
