Multiple | Gold | 40% ABV | Pot Still

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.

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.

This is a good rum for people who don't drink rums, it is tasty with no off flavors for the rookies, but it is too sweet and orange-y for the more discriminating palate.

Pyrat is a quite drinkable rum but probably best mixed. Can be sipped if cut with water and a lime twist. I don't find the Orange flavor that many speak of. At 19.99 a jug it deserves a 7 and will be in my stock for mixing and the desperation sipper !

Very smooth but with a twist for a finish.

Orange dominiert in Geruch und Geschmack. Leichte hölzerne Note ist wahrnehmbar.
Süß, Likörartig und mild im Abgang.
Sicherlich gibt es bessere aber er hat was.

This is an orange rum through and through - like drinking sweet orange marmalade. While this is fun one has to wonder how they arrived at this when the taste is so close to orange liqueur. Neither a clear age nor contents are stated on the label. The most likely explanation is added orange flavoring.

I tried it as a sipping rum and it tasted more like "aguardiente" than rum. Horrible burn. I actually asked the store to trade it out for me. First time in 40 years I have asked to return liquor. I did not try it as a mixer.

Everything is in the title :)
It's not relly a typical rum. It smell orange (or close fruits) it tast orange (with alcool) not too much but enought to have oly that tast (nothing more).

If you want a sugar cane or old cask tast rum, you are wrong with this one but it's really interesting as unique rum style.

Ce rhum est très fruité, il déroutera donc les amateurs de rhums vieux traditionnels. L'abricot rôti est très présent dès le nez.
