A drink such as rum is surrounded by the halo of a famous pirate story. And modern manufacturers of this product are trying to do everything to ensure that this adventure, and maybe somewhere mystical legend even more envelops the alcohol elixir. Patron Spirits Company was no exception and its best product was named Pyrat - the Pirate rum. Everyone has a rum associated with a formidable pirate with a bandaged eye holding a barrel of rum in one hand, and a beautiful parrot sitting on his shoulder. Until the 1990s, there were already many pirate drink manufacturers on Earth. But no company has used the name "Pirate" for its products.
A little bit about production
The headquarters of the Patron Spirits Company, which manufactures Pirate rum, is located in Las Vegas itself. This enterprise appeared not so long ago - at the end of the 80s of the last century. The manufacturer gained its first popularity thanks to tequila: at the beginning of its activity, the plant specialized in the production of high-quality tequila. But after a lapse of time the question arose of expanding the assortment. Thus, the rum of the elite class appeared.
The founders of Patron Spirits approached the production of the product with all responsibility and seriousness. The name they chose for the drink turned out to be quite apt, and captivated consumers with its genius and simplicity. I was impressed by the customers and the containers into which they decided to pour Pirate XO rum. For alcohol nectar, a bottle of unusual shape was chosen, which is made by glass blowers, taking as a basis the traditional long-standing technology. For such bottles, very thick glass is used, and the container itself is solid and incredibly heavy. At the beginning of the 19th century, rum was sold in almost the same bottles.
All varieties of Pyrat rum are made from alcohols, which are distilled by the traditional method in cubes of copper. Pirate is considered one of the strongest labels, as the minimum exposure of the product is 15 years. For this, barrels are made from American or French oak. Manually takes place and the process of pouring and sticking labels.
In order not to buy a fake
When purchasing Pirate rum, it is necessary to pay attention to trifles. Only they are able to protect you from buying a fake drink. The following attributes are required attributes to determine if Pyrat is real:
- Personal number assigned to each bottle.
- A huge cork that clogs the neck.
- The presence of an orange tape.
- The presence of a metal medallion depicting Hoti (Hoti) - a symbol of Buddhist culture, which is the patron saint of bartenders.
Varieties of famous rum
Rum "Pirate" is presented on the market in three varieties: Rum Pyrat Pistol, Rum Pyrat Cask 1623 and another variety, which we will discuss separately, since it is the most common.
Pyrat Pistol rum is a traditional variety of light and dark rum with a strength of 40 degrees. This variety has a yellowish-amber hue.

Rum Pyrat Pistol can also be eaten with an orange slice sprinkled with odorous cinnamon. The exact exposure period of "Pistol" is not known to any person. This information is the secret of the company.
Rum Rum Pyrat Cask 1623 is a favorite among representatives of high society. This is the most expensive dark variety. The drink has a very bright dark shade and a 40% strength. Even the most spoiled gourmet will not remain indifferent to the aroma and taste of this type of "Pirate".

The third, most popular beverage is Rum Pyrat XO Reserve, a forty-degree dark drink. It is characterized by an even amber tone and a mysterious aroma with accords of exotic fruits and extraordinary spices. Fans around the world appreciate the harmonious and sophisticated taste of this variety. A sophisticated aftertaste is the highlight of Rum Pyrat XO Reserve.
In the process of insisting, a technique called “Solera” is applied: distillates of various ages are combined into one. Thanks to this, customers can not languish for years in anticipation of the appearance of a noble drink. The manufacturer is able to supply fifteen-year aging products every season. But, despite this, the "Reserve XO" is made in a very limited quantity. Therefore, over the years, he has been preserving the glory of one of the most elite drinks and with incomparable quality.
Proper use
Rum "Pirate XO" and other varieties of Pyrat should be consumed exclusively in its pure form. In this case, the drink must be cooled to 20 degrees and drink it mainly from a glass of "tulip" or Tumbler. If you do not follow these tips, then you can squander the whole point of the drink, because if you dilute the rum even with banal ice, then it will be completely different. A cigar is the only fellow traveler of this type of alcohol.
Rum "Pirate XO" can be used as an aperitif. It can also become a completely food-independent drink. Although gourmets do not recommend interrupting the taste of alcohol with anything else, over 30 recipes based on the Pirate have been invented.
