The Pyrat XO is $18.00 at a local store so I decided to give it a try. Wow talk about orange flavor and aroma. I didn't care for it.

Hi Forrest,

What is this Chauvet? Agricole from Guadeloupe / Martinique ? I didn't see it on HT. How is it neat ?

Christmas party are starting. Yesterday we had Brugal Siglo de Oro, Matusalem and Plantation Barbados.

Rhum Chauvet 'Special Cocktail' is Rhum Traditional (distilled from Molasses) from Martinique, bottled in France at 44 %

i agree there is a lot of Orange flavors in the XO but i don't dislike it . . . Definitely something i don't drink 'neat' but a lovely component/ float to a variety of drinks..

On the nose there is dried lemon zest, verbena, currants or sultana-- kind of reminds me of a cachaca, or maybe even a pisco. . . there is also mallow or angel breath in the background. The taste is fresh, light spices and and a clean mineral driven mouth-feel. Rumdog007 mentioned that it reminded him of a good grappa, and i can see that-- there are a bunch of different blossoms inside-- very nice. The finish follows suit and ends clean.

Sorry this is a close out-- $9.99 for a Liter @44%, i call that a deal.
i haven't really found a drink that it 'sings' in but i will happily keep looking.

Good. I don't a lot of experience with agricoles, getting used to 'em. Not a lot of choice in Quebec, the most popular is St.James, and we ain't even getting the good ones. We have a few high end agricoles aged in France, by Chantal Comte : http://www.chateautuilerie.com/nos_v...ms.php?gamme=5. If you happen to stumble over them, indulge yourself.

Currently trying to finish my overproof (63%) Wray & Nephew. That stuff ain't for the faint of heart, that's for sure. Drinking with Coke, and it ain't so good. How do you drink your OP ?
