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 always have one or two bottles at the house. Pyrat is smooth and works well on the rocks. It is also an easy rum to find.

If you put enough ice in it should be fine, way too sweet... If not for all the sugar, would have been a decent rum.

Not that smoother as I expected for a 15 years old rum, but interesting citric nose. I can smell tangerine and honey, a bit wood but also alcohol.
Long finish with cacao and vanilla, this is the best part of the experience.

first had it on a cruise when i didn't want to pay for zacapa. each time you try it, it gets smoother. but the first few times it my feel a bit harsh. many swear by this rum.

Certainly not a typical rum from my point of view. Not sure what makes it so different and if it is all natural but I like the taste (orange aroma) straight or on the rocks.
Actually I think I just insulted brush cleaner, at least it has a purpose in life and lives up to its claim. And bc doesn't smell too bad either, but to be honest I don't know how bc tastes. Unfortunately, in the case of this so called rum the taste is unforgettable.

This is the rum for the ones who are not rum fans. It tastes almost are if it's flavored rum. When I want to taste something different, I go for that one. Only thing I would suggest is to let it breathe... I don't know what causes this, but if you just drink it the 1st time you open it, the smell is not pleasant at all.
I've bought a couple of those and know by now that it's best to let it sit, opened for around 30 minutes to an hour... let it breath in the bottle and you'll be able to enjoy it's peculiar flavour.
Grabbed a bottle on the way to Fiji hoping for a new rum experience but was not as good as I hoped but still not as bad as Bundaberg rum

At first I wasn't sure about this. I do like the orange overtones. Some vanilla oak and coffee notes. Even a faint cocoa in there. Pretty smooth. A little thin though. It doesn't have the depth or complexity of many rums. Balance is just ok. Finish is quite good and reasonably long. Finish is better neat than on ice. Overall I was pleasantly surprised. More aging would likely add depth and balance this rum really needs. It is a little different. Glad I waited until my 3rd and 4th taste. It definitely grows on you.
