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.

Lo cierto es q después d escuchar las cosas tan malas q se decían sobre éste ron me ha sorprendido para bien, éso si, ni es de los mejores y su precio es desorbitado teniendo en cuenta su calidad
Is this orange liqueur or rum? I'm not sure. Decent enough flavour profile if you are looking for orange. Colour is a nice orange like tint. Ornage lettering for the label. Oh and an orange ribbon tied around the neck to boot!

Simply stated, I don't like it much but it's not the worst I've tasted. I took someone's advice and let it "breath" for 2 hours. Yes, it was "easier" going down, but I don't always have that luxury. Bottom line, I like my rum to taste like rum, not oranges. This might appeal to some tastes, but not mine.

Decent rum... on the sweeter side but disappears quickly. Good with ice and after dinner.

This rum reminds me a lot of Old Monk only a little bit lighter. it is excellent on the rocks with a slice of pineapple orange with it.

This rum has some good flavor with a hint of orange but can seem bitter to the untested palate. Not a beginner rum if you expect the sweeter side.

The Secret is to Let it Breathe
6
/10
out of 10
Straight out the bottle the stuff smells like you may have accidentally bought a bottle of Goo Gone. If you drink it right then, it's nasty. Overly harsh and dominated by an almost tongue-numbing amount of orange additive. If you give up right then, though, you're doing yourself a disservice.
Basically, the longer you let it rest, the more the alcoholic burn recedes, and the other flavors get some room to, erm, breathe. By the end of the bottle, what you have is a fun, toasty, and tropical drink led by orange and charred oak, following through to a bit of hidden black cherry, all unified by that familiar throughline of golden syrup and toasted vanilla.
All in all, while tasty, it's not quite a great or nuanced beverage, and while the orange is fun and different, even after letting the drink come to its senses it remains a bit too heavy, making it feel like a doctored rum with added orange liqueur. Essentially a perfect "6" on the Rum Ratings scale.
