Pyrat Pistol Rum

The Pyrat Pistol is an excellent and very enjoyable, premium aged rum. While similar in flavor and with a lighter body that the Pyrat XO Reserve, the Pistol has its own unique taste and style. An absolutely great spirit brimming full of complex aromas and flavors.

The aroma is that of Buttery English Toffee strongly scented with apricots and oranges. The taste is tangy and smooth, with a hint of sweetness, a really big flavor that almost overwhelms your taste buds. In taste it is similar to the aroma but with dried apricots and orange zest riding on top of the mild, buttery toffee flavor. Complex and very enjoyable. This is a sipping rum, preferably in a brandy snifter so you can savor its aroma as well as taste, but it works quite well on the rocks. The added water brings out nuances in the fruit but does cloud the tangy zip a little. I have been having small sips of this as an after dinner treat, and just a wee bit is the perfect end to a long day.
