Pyrat XO Reserve

It wasn't the worst I've had but nothing worth raving about.

This rum is great. It is definitely a bit on the sweeter side. It pairs nicely with cola but is decent on its own. There is a bit of a bite initially (by itself) but it gets smoother. I have found the price to vary substantially depending on where is purchased. I have seen it anywhere from $25 Canadian to $90 Canadian. Not sure why...

On m'a offert ce Rhum que je ne connaissais pas vraiment.
Il a une belle couleur
avec des senteurs de caramel, miel et cannelle.

This is a great rum, full of flavor and goes down smooth. That being said the only thing I don't like about this rum and why I can't rate it higher is the smell. The smell is, well to be blunt, it is awful. It's smells like it would take paint off walls, so was so bad a smell I almost didn't want to try it, but I'm glad I did. It's one of the smoothest rums I've ever drank I just wish the smell wasn't as bad.

smooth and tasty, need to try it again, this time with an ice cube

На сегодняшний день это один из самых мягких Ромов что я пробовал. Ещё чуть чуть и кажется его можно будет сравнить с молоком, в хорошем смысле. От этого, полагаю он очень по душе и многим женщинам.
Вкус ароматный, крайне мягкий, это отличный выбор за те деньги сколько он стоит, в моем случае это около 40 эвро.
В сочетаний с крепкой кубинской сигарой - вы получите ещё один сюрприз.

If you're looking for a sweet rum that beats Captain Morgan Reserve at it's own game than this is a great option.

Lacking depth, lacking complexity and too much orange but great for a Cuba Libre. For about 30 bucks or so it is an ok rum.

This is a junior rum. A bit over rated with too much orange. Introduced to me as the premier rum on the market and I was sadly disappointed. Average at best.

Caramel orange amber color and quite some legs in the glass. Rather sweet orange and curacao nose with some astringent alcohol. It is not so sweet in the mouth, much rounder, a lot of orange flavours with underneath brown sugar syrop, dried fruits and hits of citrus and spices. It has a little kick in the throat when swallowing, but not overpowering ending in a nice zesty orange peel aftertaste.
You love it or you hate it. I like it; neat for sipping or in a cuba libre!
