Pyrat XO Reserve Rum

Pyrat XO Reserve Rum is a distinctive, ultra-premium Caribbean blend celebrated for its signature citrus-forward style and smooth, indulgent character. Crafted from select rums aged up to 15 years in American and French Limousin oak, it delivers richness with a refined edge. Its iconic squat bottle, adorned with the Hoti medallion, evokes old-world maritime heritage—making it as striking to gift as it is to savour.

Intense aromas of candied orange peel, honey and toasted oak rise from the glass. The palate is rich and syrupy, layered with marmalade, vanilla bean and brown sugar. A long, warming finish lingers with cinnamon spice and bright citrus zest, leaving a smooth, elegant impression.
