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.

The Gentleman Stumbler blog has a really funny review of this rum. It's so ubiquitous I bought a bottle just to see for myself, and sorta regret it. Probably best with cola, but I don't drink cola, except maybe organic cola from Trader Joe's! But I appreciate the Hoti mystique, and the flash website is really cool.

It works well for the overall price I couldn't complain

One of my favorites. This was the rum that showed me there was than spiced rum out there. It isnโ€™t the smoothest on the market, but it does mix well with colas or rum based mixed drinks.

This is a solid rum. And, you can get it almost everywhere. Great round, full body. Not too sweet or too much vanilla. Very smooth.
Of all the easy to find rums that are acceptable for sipping, this is a favorite.

This is my family's rum of choice for rum and cokes on pizza nights. Makes a great dark and stormy. Enough rum taste to shine through most mixes--good taste and smooth enough as a sipper or for a warmer upper during camping trips.

For me this is absolutely awfull.
Not well balanced at all. Too much orange and fake sugar for me.
This is pretty much syrup with Orange in my opinion. If you like A.H Riise you will probably enjoy this, but its not for me.

I wonder if they add orange flavoring to this rum. I still like it though and I must say they have the best bottle in the market. It is relatively inexpensive and a good value.
