Pyrat XO Reserve

Really not much to say about it average Rum with not much "caractere".

Not the best rum I've tasted, but not so bad. Orange taste is lighter when you give your glass a little time, as read in another comment.

This was my first foray into the world of sipping rums. Knowing it was distributed or produced by the parent company that also looks after Patron tequila, I was expecting it to be an over hyped, over marketed spirit. While that is mostly true, it gave me a great opening into the world of what rum can offer. Gone were my ideas of Bundaberg and Lamb's navy rum (even though I loved those as rum n cokes)

I bought and tried this one a few years ago and disliked it instantly. I honestly can't remember why. I should probably try it again to give it an honest review, but I dread doing that. Maybe if I'm feeling masochistic.

Love this rum. God's for sipping or with Mexican Cola. Price has come down a bit since launch so value is great. Very cool bottle and nice marketing. Tastes of bananas foster with caramel. A little heat on the finish. A great rum for the cabinet. Would love to try the cask 1623

Už vůně mne překvapila, je hodně sladká a počáteční chuť na jazyku mi připomněla marcipán. Prvotní sladká chuť se na jazyku pozvolna mění v typicky rumovou ostrost, kterou si vychutnáte až do konce.
Za mne mohu doporučit, není to sladké jako Diplomatico nebo něco podobného, chuť je ppříjemně sladká jen na začátku.

It was decent, but a little pricey... $20 for a half-size (375 mL) bottle. There are other rums in this price range that are better. It had a little bit of sweetness but also some harshness that was softened up with time or ice. The color is fairly orange, looking almost unnatural compared to other dark rums. The bottle with the cork and ribbon were cute. The orange ribbon and orange print seem to be coordinated with the added orange coloring.

Had more expectations for this one. Flavours (orange, cinammon) are so strong that it feels kind of fake. Alcohol punch is quite strong too. Felt a bit cheap in my opinion. Unlike the bottle that would refer to a more premium rum

My hubby and I love the taste of this rum in certain cocktails. Makes great Dessert drinks. It deserves a little higher rating, so I gave it an 8.

Nice smell and taste., little alcohol afterburn. Very nice looking bottle.....
