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.

I went into this rum a bit afraid due to seeing other reviews label it similar to paint thinner.
Purchased a bottle and tried it on the rocks and I thought it was a perfectly fine rum to sip. Typically I enjoy rums on the sweeter side and the notes are pleasant to my specific pallet.
Me and the boys enjoyed sipping on this while playing some games of Magic the Gathering. Commander is always more fun when slightly intoxicated.
I get it that we all have different palates, but the only reason I can think that someone might give this a higher rating is if they haven't tried many rums at all. I mean even Bacardi 8 Year is head and shoulders better than this, and it's still pretty far from the top of my list. I'd even rate stalwarts like Gosling's above this. Nothing to add that others haven't already - it's rough, it has a weird orange-y flavor, the most noticeable flavor other than orange is alcohol. Cannot recommend.
6,5:On the nose, citrus aromas (orange and lemon) dominate. It also has a vegetal, even medicinal/herbal aspect. Slight notes of spice-ginger, vanilla are also present.
6:On the palate, it's sweet and the orange carries off - almost - everything in its path. A slight acidity and bitterness make you think of zest. The timid spicy:ginger, vanilla notes are still there.Underneath there is a very weak torrent of tropical fruits, rarely traceable. After few more sipps this rum becomes more and more bitter orange.
6:The finish is short and citrusy.
That's right!
It is not bad at all. This is another flavored liquor, not a pure rum. Everything is about orange and it makes sense. Moderately saturate color of liquor goes to orange tone and it perfectly tunes with the taste. Significant orange peels in the taste, but quality strong spirit on the background which is similar with some good white rums. Not so sweet orange taste is really dominant. That is why it leads me to compare it to Grand Marnier. I like both.
Packaging. Orange cardboard box is not high quality. The bottle with rustic cork is made of too thick glass with some sort of silver sprinkles inside of the glass and it is really not handy. It is hard to pour via this really thick bottleneck without some spill. Besides there is the orange ribbon, the card and the bronze medallion, which I like the most by the way, so it looks like Christmas tree. Too tacky?..not at all for orange liquor.
First time I tasted I found the orange taste too much and not a particularly good rum. Recently bought another bottle and although not a favourite of mine it is still and interesting but somewhat strange rum.
A distinct artificial aroma of some sort that made me hate it at first but got used to it after a while
I like this rum, but don't really drink it that often. It's unlike any other rum in my bar, which makes it special and brings a distinct taste to cocktails when added to heighten a citrus note. Sipped alone it's rich, smooth and interesting but not in my opinion the best way to enjoy it.
I was pleased with the rum, a good rum that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
Cute bottle with good branding but overall not a great rum. Priced over captain and Bacardi locally but pretty equivalent.
An average rum that is good to drink on a casual occasion. He is quite sweet. However, its price corresponds to the content. I gave him 7 points for the handmade bottle, which has an interesting shape.
"Had wine not been the drink of choice 2,000 or so years ago, Jesus would have probably turned every drop of water on earth into Pyrat Rum XO Reserve"

"itโs like an orange Chuck Norris came through the joint, belted out a roundhouse kick to the face..."
"Pyrat XO rum review by Lance from RumConnection"
A very definite hit of oranges.
"The orange taste is very much at the forefront and the burn leaves behind a bitter tang of orange peel."

This rum was recommended to me by a friend as something I might and enjoy, and he wasn't far off. While not exactly what I'm looking for, it's unique and well crafted enough to earn a place on my bar. The orange that takes center stage for so many isn't as pronounced for me. Nor do I find much vanilla. I think what many describe as vanilla, I would characterize more as honey. While sweet, this rum has a dry side. I would characterize this rum as being "bright" in taste if that makes any sense. I can see how for some people this is an ideal sipper, but not my ideal. But I would take this over a lot of other offerings. For me this is more of a mixer, especially with fruit juices. And the bottle gives a nice historic flair to any bar. Now that I've finished one, I've cleaned off the labels and using it to house some Gosling's 151.
