my impression about this rum it`s a very orange and sweet smell, so it`s not my kind of rum but it`s a good one, at first i said wwaaooo!!! it`s amazing the deep smell it had but then you can be saturated, i think can be a good pairing with some desserts!!

Would you be willing to sell 1 or 2 bottles of your old Planters Gold XO? I would love to compare it with the current Pyrat XO Reserve formulation. Thanks!

At any rate, it is just plain bad. I’m half way through a Cuba Libre and I don’t think I should finish it. I can, but I don’t think I should. It tastes so wrong that the word ‘sabotage’ comes to mind. If so, I know it’s not antifreeze because that supposedly tastes good. For any beginner reading this, develop a basic palate from commonly available stuff like Barbancourt and Ron Pampero and then venture out from there. They are decent and consistent reference points.

The new Pyrat XO is not worth drinking at least for someone that prefers their rum served neat.

I contacted Patron and they tried telling me there is no change it’s the same rum blned, Guess they think us rum snobs are as easily fooled as tequilla drinkers, lol!

I know there has to be some stores out here that don’t sell alot of rum and still have cases in the back. My goal is to find them.
