I wasn't supposed to like this one, or at least that was my interior monologue as I tried to convince myself to shell out more for a different bottle. "C'mon, don't fall for crass marketing - just because it looks like it came off a pirate ship and is, in fact, called Pyrat doesn't mean it's good." At the end of the day, though, the $20 price tag and the fact that I'm the kind of person who plays Sid Meier's Pirates! on my iPad after a stressful day added this to my cart. And, you know what? It's actually pretty enjoyable. The review's comment about chocolate oranges (the ones you smash on the counter to get to open up) is spot on. The citrus notes are VERY present on the nose - orange, lemon, apricot, a hint of lime, and a little nip of alcohol. The palate, while still having a certain youthfulness to it, is actually a scrumptious combination of milk chocolate, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon peel. I could ask for more in terms of complexity, and I'm not sure I'd call this "fine rum" in the same way that, say, a rhum agricole might qualify, but this is a fun, cheap-n-cheerful summertime bottle. Besides, my sister-in-law who recycles bottle for her artwork is going to love this funky shaped thing when I'm done with it.
