Pyrat XO Reserve

Found this OK

asking a high price but it's all over £30 - £45 for the same product

Its no XO Fun Bottle can't pour out of it

Will not be rushing back for this one

I am a rookie taster and am developing my likes and dislikes while I learn the subtleties of what runs offer. This rum was a gift from a friend that enjoys rums and he thought it would be a good one to sample.
At first sip I found it to feel full bodied on the tongue but whoa! The initial taste was like gasoline to me. So I did as suggested and let it mellow with a cube of ice. After about 15 minutes the taste definitely improved. I cannot tell you about the subtleties of flavours other than it’s orange overtone that for me was pleasant enough. Next time around I may add a lemon twist or something to change things up a bit. Overall a decent sipping rum with potential to mix.

Was a gift. I enjoyed it but glad I did not buy it. Its better than average and I will never say no to it. But I prefer others better.

Pomerančová vůně. Sladký s chutí citrusových plodů s hořkým závěrem.

Skořice, vanilka a sudy od cherry - tímhle Vás dostane tahle láhev. Spíše komerčnější záležitost, ale stabilně v mé sbírce. Pro mě příjemný rum, který se dá popíjet celý večer.

A nice rum to be enjoyed with your favorite mix. Sweet tasting

I didn't expect so much after 6.1 rating here. Nice smell tropical fruits or candy fruits. Good balanced taste with fruits. For me one from better rums.

Strong and probably artificial tangerine smell and taste. Again after reading the label its not rum so I guess there are lot of aromas added.

I did purchase this as 3 other rums to spend with us this year xmas holidays.

Today its 21st of December and i just open the beautiful bottle - which your better half can use after as vase 😉

I like the nice orange taste... and if you add the special xmas price below 25€ 🤷🏻‍♂️
Enjoy ... life is too short !

Fairly standard/basic... Nothing to make it stand out. Would not prioritize as a re-purchase when I have so many others on my wish list, but certainly would be happy if received again as a gift.
