Pyrat Cask 1623 Rum is a luxurious Caribbean treasure, known for its rich and complex character. Crafted from a blend of the finest aged rums, some over 40 years old, it offers a deep amber hue and a captivating aroma of caramel, vanilla, and orange zest, complemented by subtle hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with layers of dried fruit, molasses, and a touch of honey, leading to a long, warming finish that lingers with elegance. Pyrat Cask 1623 is a connoisseur's delight, perfect for sipping slowly and savoring every intricate note.
Pyrat’s is a product of the Anguilla Rums company. This is an establishment with its own origin story (whether true or not, it’s still fun reading) regarding a travelling seaman called CJ Planter who fell in love with an island girl who may have been the illegitimate daughter of a plantation owner and a local lady who dabbled in witchcraft. CJ eventually began a rum-making concern which, it must be emphasized, did not create rums from scratch, but blended rums from elsewhere (which continues today – I imagine this is because Anguilla, a beautiful but tiny speck in the Caribbean which if you sneezed at the wrong time you’d miss as you flew over it, lacks the resources to have full blown sugar cane plantations on the available land).
