XO Reserve 40%

To produce this Caribbean specialty, rums that are up to 15 years old are blended. The blend is then stored in two different types of barrels, one made of American oak and one made of French Limousine oak, to refine its complex, smooth and sustainable taste. The production process is overseen by the Las Vegas-based Patron Spirits Company, which is also responsible for selecting the individual rums and the barrels used. Another factor that contributes to the unmistakable character of Pyrat is the use of a 300-year-old wooden furnace. This results in a fruity taste with strong orange nuances and light notes of candied mandarins.
Pyrat is recommended both for pure enjoyment and as an exotic component in a whole range of cocktails. The incredibly fruity Pyrat Trade Winds cocktail, for example, exudes a pure holiday feeling and makes you dream of salty sea air on white sandy beaches.

Orange is all this pirate needs to attack and conquer your taste buds. If you like orange, you wouldn't give up the impressive Pyrat XO Reserve for any treasure map in the world. If you don't, forget it. Pyrat XO Reserve is a blend of various pot still rums aged in freshly charred American white oak barrels and French Limousin oak barrels. The rums used in the blend are all Caribbean in origin and have been aged for up to 16 years. It is bottled in mouth-blown and individually numbered bottles.
