Pros: Smooth, sweet, rich, dark, complex.
Cons: I don't have an endless supply of it.
Summary: Just goes to show why children don't get to be cynics yet. Pyrat XO is an all around, truly fine Rum, and I'm not just saying this because I had some for breakfast. I first discovered it on recommendation from a BevMo employee who I trusted because ...

Pros: Smooth, sweet, and well-priced.
Cons: Slight whiff of wet baby diapers.
Summary: Pyrat Rum XO Reserve is a bit of an anomaly in the world of rum. It is one of the sweetest rums on the market, has a vibrant orange curacao note that can almost be overwhelming at times, and is produced on the island of Anguilla which has never ...

Pros: Distinct, pure flavor that is hard to dislike.
Cons: Not quite as complex of a flavor mix as some rum connoisseurs enjoy.

Pros: Warm, good flavor, pleasant , inviting.
Cons: Not available in 55 gallon kegs.
Summary: What a pleasant liquid. You don't have to like Rum to enjoy this. The first sip is definately an introduction. Take at least two minutes to allow the full cycle of sensation, prior to considering the second taste. There in rests the unique attribute of

Cons: Wish it was sold in gallons.
Summary: I purchased Pyrat Rum X0 Reserve on a suggestion by a friend of mine for a wassail I was making for a New Year's Day dinner. Let me put it this way: six liters of wassail (with rum) were gone in 15 minutes. Then they went for the

Pros: Quality straight through. Reasonable price.
Cons: Get out of here...
Summary: One of the better rums I've tried so far. There is a twin layered flavor, like orange or something on top of a sweet fresh rum taste. It tastes a bit like Carlisle Reef Rum, another very good rum. There is a pleasant flavor about it that I can't place
