The Pyrat is kind of an intricate treat to enjoy. I opened the bottle, poured it in the tumbler and smelled it. What the....!? What's this tang? Is this alcohol fuel? Nonetheless I sipped it. Ohhhhh dear! How did the cleanser wind up in this awesome rum bottle!? So I left the tumbler alone, read the reviews and couldn't stop wondering about the extremely dissenting opinions. Some say it's god's gift to man, others say they wouldn't feed this dog's piss to their worst enemy.

I'm careful with 1 pointers as there's always the possibility of stumbling across the liquid spawn of hell, but I dead sure was ready to dish out my first 2 point review. On the other hand the very good reviews intrigued me enough to give it time and to let it breathe.

After 30 minutes: 2 out of 10. Very sharp smell, very one-dimensional taste.
After 1 hour: What's this? Is there actual taste under the layer of kerosene? We are getting somewhere: 5/10.
After 2 hours: BAMM! There it is! Cinnamon, vanilla, sherry and of course the dominant flavour of orange. The smell is godly, as is the taste that follows. Rich, mellow, well balanced. I could taste all the flavours I smelled before. This rum is really excellent, as long as you give it time to breath and evolve from terrible to bearable to impeccable. I sipped it as seen on the picture. Straight up, no ice, handwarm. For the price the Pyrat XO is a steal.

Очень красивая бутылка, толстой стекло, медальон, оформление супер.
Не спиртуозен, если дать подышать очень легко пьётся. В аромате море цитрусовых и фруктов. Очень лёгкий. Браво!

Gehört wohl schon fast eher in die Kategorie flavoured Rum.
Schmekt irgendwie künstlich.

Strong flavors in every sense. Plenty of orange and citrus. Best sipped chilled. They did anvery good job at letting each flavor stand out while none, other than orange take control. Keep in mind that this is a cork top, there will be cork particles in your drinks. Great branding and awesome looking bottle. Owned by the Patron brand.

This rhum seems very forced. The aroma is artificial orange, the taste is very orange/chemical. There is some sweetness, but mostly orange followed by a light burn.

Hated this rum on first taste. Boozy and lacking character. After I let it rest, the booziness settled and the flavor came out. Orange and vanilla forward. Still not my favorite, but drinkable on ice.

I enjoy this rum with ginger ale and lots of ice. There is better out there but also a lot worse!

Don’t love it. Don’t hate it. Like the orange fruit. No burn. Fine.

By far the best Rum. Great for everything. So far this is my favorite. I still have more to try. So far its been an adventure.

Smells artificial. Tastes artificial. I'm not really sure how this is even considered a rum. If you see this one in your local store walk on past it.
