Pyrat XO Reserve

The problem with this rum is the orange flavor. Almost to much for me giving it a fake-ness that destroys the essence of rum.

I can detect some decent rum under the overpowering bitter orange flavor. Ladies favorite, not mine.

Pyrat has a nice start but a really harsh finish. It needs a soda or other mixer to swallow without having the shakes.

I only just now read the "time to breathe" review and will be trying that.

The rum itself is at best mediocre, but I love my little Buhda pyrat key chain present. To rough for my taste and the price...paid 46 $ CAD for it and deeply regret it.

Really not much to say about it average Rum with not much "caractere".

Not the best rum I've tasted, but not so bad. Orange taste is lighter when you give your glass a little time, as read in another comment.

This was my first foray into the world of sipping rums. Knowing it was distributed or produced by the parent company that also looks after Patron tequila, I was expecting it to be an over hyped, over marketed spirit. While that is mostly true, it gave me a great opening into the world of what rum can offer. Gone were my ideas of Bundaberg and Lamb's navy rum (even though I loved those as rum n cokes)

I bought and tried this one a few years ago and disliked it instantly. I honestly can't remember why. I should probably try it again to give it an honest review, but I dread doing that. Maybe if I'm feeling masochistic.

Love this rum. God's for sipping or with Mexican Cola. Price has come down a bit since launch so value is great. Very cool bottle and nice marketing. Tastes of bananas foster with caramel. A little heat on the finish. A great rum for the cabinet. Would love to try the cask 1623

Už vůně mne překvapila, je hodně sladká a počáteční chuť na jazyku mi připomněla marcipán. Prvotní sladká chuť se na jazyku pozvolna mění v typicky rumovou ostrost, kterou si vychutnáte až do konce.
Za mne mohu doporučit, není to sladké jako Diplomatico nebo něco podobného, chuť je ppříjemně sladká jen na začátku.
