Orange. It smells orange, taste orange... Very provocative and cocky. I can't say I enjoyed it as it was difficult to empty the glass, but it's kind of interesting still. I wouldn't buy a whole bottle, even for the shock value when having a rum loving friend over, but I'm glad I tasted it. Sadly I don't remember any other flavors then orange since this dominated both nose and palate.
Did I mention orange?

Not of my liking. For me it is just an awful spicy orange rum. Not very well balanced.

The orange taste is to predominant and artificial in my opinion, I was expecting much more from this one.

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.
I don't know what's the fuss about this one. I mean, really. There are way better alternatives in that price range. Of course, that's just a subjective opinion but I did not find anything of significance in it to make me even consider getting another bottle.

It beats the bottom shelf swill out there by a couple of points, but the money is better spent elsewhere. You're paying for the packaging.

This is rum made by a tequila company, and it comes out like cognac... I don't understand, and unfortunately don't enjoy it. This smells, tastes, and behaves almost exactly like Grand Marnier, but with less sugar and more alcohol bite. I'm alternating between 4 and 5 on this.

It has been said many times already. This tastes like orange. So much so, I simply cannot believe it wasn't artificially added afterwards. Seeing as it's rum we are talking about - and everything is allowed in the world of rum - that's not at all unthinkable. So, if you like Grand Marnier you'll like this rum, but you are probably better off drinking Grand Marnier.

Smagen er sprittet med alt alt for meget appelsin. Eftersmagen er kedelig og kun appelsin.

Very special rum. An interesting smokey orange flavour, but with a slightly strange aftertaste. Not my cup of tea.

Well first pyrat is not 15 year rum. Its a blend that is made partly of 15 year rum but the majority of it its 5 year. If you been in this game a while that shouldnt be of any surprise judging its color and price (25$ for 15 year rum? Yeah right!). Its got a great look to it. I bought this bottle when I was very young (and underage shhh) and just came to the states so my bottles number is like 12,000. Anyway The product screams orange, orange ribbon orange tinted rum, orange label orange,orange, orange. Popping the cork off and smelling it you get a blast of... ORANGES to the point it smells like an orange liqueur, some very faint cask smell in there. In the glass it smells almost like orange flavored bubble gum with some alcohol hint in the back. Drinking it straight isn't too bad its smooth on entry then has a harsh exit. The thing about drinking it straight its flavor of orange is so powerful it overloads your taste buds and senses. Which is why I would avoid drinking this straight. I know there is such thing as a bold rum (like pussers) but this way oversteps it's visit to obnoxious. In diet coke its actually really good. You get the oak cask, orange flavor + vanilla and sweetness of the sugar cane. I would say its very good for mixing but for rum its so so.
