I've heard Pyrat is RANK!

I've heard the Pyrat Cask 23 is actually quite good. But at $240.00 a bottle, the term "good" becomes very subjective.

Does that mean I have no class if I like Pyrat XO Reserve quite a bit? Its currently my top rum. I recently picked up a bottle of Appletons Master Blenders Legacy I think....its 30 yrs old. But, for a $100 CDN bottle of rum, it wasn't as good as I was expecting.

That said, I was introduced to Legendario Elixur recently. When I find that, it will spend some time as the TOPS for me.

Who implied you had no class? I didn't see that.

Like cigars, taste in rums can be very subjective from person to person. Drink what you enjoy!

My wife recently gave me a bottle of this, Vizcaya VXOP Cask No. 21. I had never heard of it before and she was turned on to it by one of the guys where I normally buy my rums. It is agricole, made from pure sugar cane and fermented in old oak bourbon barrrels. I like it. It has some spice up front and plenty of the sweetness on the finish that I like, others may not like as much, in a sipping rum. I'll give it a thumbs up and will buy it again.

I didn't take any offense, I was just turning his argument into a "straw man" for purposes of having fun.

Cask 23 is very good, much different than the XO.
