Pyrat XO Reserve

This fruity rum is quite drinkable. Probably with sugar, probably full of marketing but the presentation is top notch, the taste bears caramel, vanilla, fruit, citrus... I like it.

To much orange taste! It's too unilateral. The old version Planters Gold XO (picture) was much better his taste more complex. Perhaps they've lost their Masterblender while the Anguilla Rum Company was bought by the Patrón Spirits Company.

discovered this on Anguilla in 2006 when I also developed a taste for ti punch and real daiquiri... (not those sickly sweetened frozen concoctions that ought to be served from a Mr. Softee!) once back in the states I discovered it could be found at warehouse store for just under $30! wow, this is a fine versatile rum, good enough to sip on the rock but mostly used in honest cocktails. yes, there's some orange flavor but nowhere as cloying as a flavored rum, just a dominant overtone. but that works for me. a damn nice rum for good all around drinking. (no way is this a 6. my 8 is intentionally a bit high just to move the average up a bit closer to the 7.5 I think it should be.)

You either love it or hate it. It doesn't have a hint of orange its an orange rum! Personally I like the difference

strong aromas and flavours of orange and very smooth. A great alternative rum when you don't want the heavier flavours of the darker rums.

This is one of the rums that many try when discovering the world of rums, it´s smooth and fruity, or rather orangey, and there´s a full 24g/l of sugar added to the bottle. Unfortunately. Because this may make some think that rum is sweet all by itself (since it`s made from sugarcane) which is not true since there´s no sugar in it after distillation. If there´s any it has been added after. This rum is way too sweet.

Very special rum. An interesting smokey orange flavour, but with a slightly strange aftertaste. Not my cup of tea.

Too sweet , to much orange ! But i recon the Ladies Would like it !

God rom

A decent rum but with far too heavy orange notes to my tastes.
