Pyrat XO Reserve

This rum is so smooth and sweet I can't belive it's normal proof. Honestly tastes like drinking pirate heaven

While this isn't the best rum I've ever had, it is good enough to drink straight up. So much of this is personal opinion that it's hard to truly rate something that everyone will agree on.
I read another review where the writer commented that it just needed some breathing time and then it was very good. That may be the case, what I’ve always had has been very consistent. Not “great or exceptional” but definitely above average.

Strong orange scent, mediocre orange taste and sweetness accompanied by hint of spiciness.

Definitely a really good rum, for my personal taste the orange note is just too strong. But if you like fruity rums you'll love this one.

I don't know about this one, it's good but it has a strange taste to me.. I see this in the bars and it's top shelf but it really isn't worth it.. If you get it as a gift cool but don't go out of your way to buy this one

Many small bars and restaurants carry this and I will drink it on occasion when there is no other choice. It's ok, but I certainly wouldn't buy it for home. Might be good for mixing, but not the greatest by itself.

Somehow..when in the past with the hand blown bottle it was a much better rum. So, if you find a bottle with a stem at the bottom...and b hubble s in the glass....it is worth every sip.

This was my first rum. As I remember, it was really different, then other rums I tasted later. I dont know, if I enjoyed it, or not. Pyrat was first, so I will give him one more point, then I should give him now. There was maybe too much of orange taste.

I was really wanting to like this rum but I cant recommend it as a sipper , its too sharp and has a real alcohol bite to it. On a positive note , I dont find the " hand cleaner " smell or the " overpowering smell of oranges " that people keep on about . Has a real short finish and only as a mixer for me , probably wont buy again.
