Pyrat XO Reserve

Nothing is special about this rum,

I did not enjoy as much as other top rated rums.

Zacap, Vaya, Zafra, Diplo all beat this rum.

I enjoy mine with Dr. Pepper and they work well together. I think it is a good rum with some good flavors but does not have as much taste as others in its price range.

The first time I tasted the taste I was shocked . Not unlike anything I 've tasted . It has a fruity woody scent .

Altjough quite nice, it is too flat in my opinion and could nee more time to get more falvours. Right now it is better to dring in a cocktail.

A bit pricey, but its smoothness makes up for it. However, whenever I go on vacation I make sure I include a bottle for sipping on the rocks with a cigar after i dip it in. Second best rum I've ever had and can't remember the first. Lol

This is not a smooth as I would like, although maybe I should qualify that statement is during sipping. If you sort of guzzle it is smooth. Although what a waste. It's harder than Zaya.

Strong tastes of orange and citrus. To a degree it almost tastes chemicaly... Don´t get me wrong, it is a good rum, but a little synthetic to the core of my tastebuds...

The color as well as the smell gives you the impression that you're up for a treat. Not to mention the beautiful bottle. Intense orange and citrus tones combined with the heavy oakey rum. At the first taste you get a slap in the face. The taste is very original, but for me it landed perfectly on the tounge from the start. A must try if you like exciting and different rums. 8/10!

The is a real taste for oranges overall. Beside this it is really sweet and with a hint of liquorice. I like it, but it belongs to the type of rums, which won't be liked by everyone. But this is not a Con, it just says that this one has a real character.

I recommend having a few drinks in you before you tackle this rum. Otherwise you'll find it rather bold and pirate like.
