Pyrat XO Reserve

Fruity with nice notes of apricot and a little vanilla. Great in Mai Tai’s.

Very nice rum, well priced and kept in freezer for sipping.

Too sweet, too much citrus, a weird synthetic chemical taste.
I read the review from Chris who said that it needs time, but if I pour a glass, I want to drink it. I don't want to leave it sitting for 2 hours whilst it settles down. Maybe when I go on holiday, I'll get a shot of it and let it sit for a bit, but I can't imagine I would ever go out and buy a bottle.

In summary, if you want a nice sweet rum with more than a little character, don't get this, get a Diplomatice Reserva Exclusiva.

I waited a long time to try this. But. This didn't really taste like rum, to me. An artificial orangey flavor lay beneath an astringent-style alcohol-taste that lacked any real character that appealed to my palate, but to each his/her own. Drink what you like, of course, but I'm passing on this, if I ever see it again. Sorry.

Tohle mi doporucili v obchode, kdyz dosel Don Papa. Prodavajici byl asi novacek a nebo jeden (ci oba) z techto rumu neochutnal! Ostrejsi rum, koreni - skorice, kardamon, vanilka.

Po napiti se rozvine ovocna, hlavne pomeranxova chut v prvni chvili ostřejší a korenena. Ale potom se zjemni a zesladne.

Not bad, not good. Tried this one and it is not my favourite.

This is an ok sipping rum, but a great rum and coke rum.

You know, what you are paying for. A lil' bit sweet, not too much. Great value for money spent! You won't offend anyone by this bottle.

The marketing is cool with the bottle shape and buddha ingot, but that's about it. It was too orangey and had that alcohol burn.
