Garcia21, At first, I liked this rum, but the flavours are very strong, and I think, artificial. I taste more like butterscotch or butter-rum. A little goes a long way. You can use just a splash of this to flavour some less expensive rum. To test my theory, when you finish your glass of this rum, no matter how you drink it, refill the glass with Coke or water. Now see if you can still taste the Pyrat.
