Pyrat XO Reserve

If you like artificial orange flavour...buy it....

Fick denna i gåva. Lenhet, sötma och smak fint balanserat. Bästa jag har druckit än så länge.

Found a half fifth for 13$, figured it was worth a try. Really enjoyed it with ginger ale. Was not a huge fan of it on the rocks. Overall, very orange-y and has a very strong aroma.

Nice bottle but content doesn't surprised me so much. Needs minimum half hour to breathe in a glass. Orange aroma is overpowering. You can find there hints of vanilla and oak. Taste is again very orange, but I find it's somehow synthetic. Also some vanilla and spicy tones, sweet just a bit. The burn is with time almost gone. It gets just better with time in glass. After approx. 3 hours quite good sipper with almost no burn. But who wants to wait 3 hours... ?

Nothing is special about this rum,

I did not enjoy as much as other top rated rums.

Zacap, Vaya, Zafra, Diplo all beat this rum.

I enjoy mine with Dr. Pepper and they work well together. I think it is a good rum with some good flavors but does not have as much taste as others in its price range.

The first time I tasted the taste I was shocked . Not unlike anything I 've tasted . It has a fruity woody scent .

Altjough quite nice, it is too flat in my opinion and could nee more time to get more falvours. Right now it is better to dring in a cocktail.

A bit pricey, but its smoothness makes up for it. However, whenever I go on vacation I make sure I include a bottle for sipping on the rocks with a cigar after i dip it in. Second best rum I've ever had and can't remember the first. Lol

This is not a smooth as I would like, although maybe I should qualify that statement is during sipping. If you sort of guzzle it is smooth. Although what a waste. It's harder than Zaya.
