Pyrat XO Reserve Caribbean up to 15 years Rum 40%

With its round, hand-blown bottle shape and striking orange colour, Pyrat XO Reserve stands out long before you've taken the first sip.

Expert description

Pyrat XO Reserve is a Caribbean Rum blended from rums up to 15 years old and bottled at 40%.

The rum is a blend of several Caribbean rum distillates, originally developed on Anguilla under the name Anguilla Rums Ltd., but today owned by Patrón Spirits Company under Bacardi and blended and bottled at Demerara Distillers in Guyana. The blend is known for its distinctive orange character, derived from the addition of bitter orange peel during refining, giving Pyrat XO Reserve a sweet, citrus-forward profile that sets it apart from most other age-stated rums.
