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.

The Gentleman Stumbler blog has a really funny review of this rum. It's so ubiquitous I bought a bottle just to see for myself, and sorta regret it. Probably best with cola, but I don't drink cola, except maybe organic cola from Trader Joe's! But I appreciate the Hoti mystique, and the flash website is really cool.
It works well for the overall price I couldn't complain

One of my favorites. This was the rum that showed me there was than spiced rum out there. It isnโt the smoothest on the market, but it does mix well with colas or rum based mixed drinks.

This is a solid rum. And, you can get it almost everywhere. Great round, full body. Not too sweet or too much vanilla. Very smooth.
Of all the easy to find rums that are acceptable for sipping, this is a favorite.
This is my father favorite rum from my collection. Nice gold color, beautiful aroma, lovely finish..

This is my family's rum of choice for rum and cokes on pizza nights. Makes a great dark and stormy. Enough rum taste to shine through most mixes--good taste and smooth enough as a sipper or for a warmer upper during camping trips.

For me this is absolutely awfull.
Not well balanced at all. Too much orange and fake sugar for me.
This is pretty much syrup with Orange in my opinion. If you like A.H Riise you will probably enjoy this, but its not for me.
I wonder if they add orange flavoring to this rum. I still like it though and I must say they have the best bottle in the market. It is relatively inexpensive and a good value.

I'd heard the buzz, and was eager to give it a try for myself.
On first pour, I hardly picked up any citrus notes (it had been store in the fridge). It was rather harsh, slightly bitter, but really not that bad. As it warmed, the citrus came out in full force. But it wasn't terrible, and not exactly what I'd call "artificial," either. It just smells like mid-range rum with some orange (maybe with a touch of lemon) essential oil added in, and some sugar. Maybe it's soaked with citrus rind at some point (hence the bitterness), maybe it's artificial flavoring, who knows.
At the end of the day, this is far from the worst rum out thereโit's really not that bad. As a sipper, it's not very good, but as a mixer I think it would be fantastic (if overpriced). Daiquiris, Mai Tais (along with a good, strong Jamaican), Nui Nuis all could be made deliciously with this stuff.
That said, there are plenty of better rums out there.
