Pyrat XO Reserve

Smell and taste like an orange infused rum liquor, not so sweet like others. Good with ice for aperitif, nice mixer for summer days.

Ikke særlig god rom - for meget appelsin smag. God til en lage

Not fond of too tasty rums but this one is a crap .

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 there—it'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.

I found this rum to be full of flavor,nice body and no burn.I appreciate this full flavor rum over ice only.

At kalde den en ROM syntes jeg er lige rigelig det er mere en appelsin likør.

Enjoyed it a lot, the bottle creates of course big expectations, but i was not let down. You get to drink like a true Pirate, looks great on your Rum shelve and has a pleasant taste, althouhg i must agree it does not smell so great : )))

Tastes much better than it smells...nice semi sweet with an orange flare.

After opening the bottle I sniffed the corked and it smelled odd. I poured a little in a glass and sniffed again - worse! Then I tasted - I thought it was corked!! I took it back to the place of purchase and was told that that was the way it was suppose to smell and taste. No more Pyrat for me.

Gutes Preis Leistung Verhältnis. Auch von Frauen gern genommen.
