Pyrat XO Reserve

Orange taste is nothing for me. Got strong burn. Averrage.

I can totally understand the plenty of bad reviews and at the same time understand the good reviews. Strong orange cream aroma which carried over into the taste with moderate alcohol burn and some vanilla. It is sweet for sure. For me it is more of a liquor than a rum. Probably great to sip on around the holidays with desert. As a normal everyday rum I think I would get sick of it pretty quickly but once in a long while, yeah for sure.

I certify this review is my own opinion and that I do not have a professional affiliation with Diplomatico.

Nice mid priced rum. A bit of burn but sweet as well.

Very smooth. Great sipping rum. Too good to mix in a drink.

Need to tray again for proper review, but probably won't due to low score. Moved from Distiller tasting 2/2017.

The first rum I tasted at the Laka Lono Rum Club when I joined. Certainly not a #1 rum by any other measurement. This has a super sweetness, but is truly an artificial product. I'd call it the Souther Comfort of rums. Regardless, this is a guilty pleasure, not unlike Kool-Aid. No one wants to admit drinking this, but we all have a bottle in our tiki bars.

Took note of another review and poured a sample and let it set out for a little while but may need to set it out longer.

One the nose, I find it very acetone heavy with a hint of orange and vanilla. Tasting several times, I still get the alcohol burn up front before the spice notes come through followed by the orange and vanilla.

Has some hibt of orange. Interesting, but not my first choice
