Pyrat
Pyrat is a brand of Rum produced in Anguilla, the Caribbean island located in the Lesser Antilles and part of the British Overseas Territories. The tradition of making spirits dates back to the time of the discovery of the Americas and the first colonization of the Caribbean archipelago. It was during those years that sugarcane began to be cultivated, thanks to an ideal habitat characterized by a warm climate and particularly fertile soils. Thus, the first artisanal Rums were born, to avoid having to transport spirits from the Motherland to the colonies of the New World, which was very costly. In fact, the success of Caribbean Rum among sailors was such that barrels began to make the reverse journey to reach Europe.
Thus, the legend of the great Caribbean Rums was born, which Pyrat continues to carry on, passing down from generation to generation the ancient savoir-faire, the result of the experience of the best Master Distillers. The very name is inspired by the world of Pirates and Privateers, who sailed the Caribbean Sea with their sailing ships in searching for loot. At the base of the success of Pyrat spirits is a high-quality sugarcane, capable of providing a juice and a molasses that are particularly rich and dense in aromas. At the end of fermentation, distillation still takes place today using traditional pot stills, which allow for the production of Rums with a soft, seductive, and enveloping taste, in the perfect style of the Antilles.
At the end of the production process, the spirits mature in the warm and humid climate of the Caribbean, which favors a particularly elegant and soft evolution of the aromas, playing a decisive role in defining the taste profile of the Rums. The aging takes place using French and American oak barrels, previously used for aging fine wines and capable of enriching the aromatic spectrum of the spirits with tertiary notes. In the final phase of the aging process, which lasts on average about fifteen years, the Rum rests in barrels used for orange liqueur, which impart the typical aromas of candied citrus peel and the softness of orange honey.candied citrus and the softness of orange honey.
