Having spent 23 years in the barrel, this rum is as pleasantly complex as the nose and ageing would suggest, offering a rich evolution on the mouth–from fresh, sweet sensations to dried fruits. I'm not one who normally drinks rum straight but the Kirk and Sweeney 12 year rum is so smooth that it actually might be one I could enjoy neat. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. The average ageing of rum in the Caribbean is generally two years, Kirk and Sweeney is the rare exception.I liked the taste as it wasn't quite as sweet as it smelled, and I prefer dry and oak flavors in my liquors and wine, which this had quickly, but it dispersed even quicker. On the palate, expect flavours of toasted oak and vanilla, with hints of raisin and sherry, built upon layers of spice and sweet dried fruits. The 25-year XO: this exceptional rum, aged for 25 years, unveils elegant and subtle flavors of candied fruits, mild spices, and honey.

Thanks to the years of expertise amassed by the Bermúdez distillery and the standards upheld at every production stage, this brand has become synonymous with excellence worldwide. This rum has its name from a sailing ship named 'Kirk and Sweeney' which served as a smuggling ship for rum between the Caribbean and the northeast of the USA in the early times of prohibition.It tastes like an agricole, albeit an exceptional one, and tastes at least as good as the far more expensive Clement XO (imho). This distillery is now one of the largest in the Dominican Republic and has a rich family heritage going back over 100 years. Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry and raisin.

I occasionally got some mild fruit but nothing substantial, maybe a hint of orange rind and apricot, really not sure. Expert blending comes to life with rums aged between 5 and 20 years to fully develop the enticing and immensely smooth Gran Reserva profile. Named after a ship that smuggled spirits to the US during the Prohibition era, the Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva Superior is a luxury rum made using sugar cane from the Dominican Republic. Made with sugar cane and aged in oak barrels for 12 years, Kirk and Sweeney shows a rich mahogany colour, smoothly capturing a complex range of flavours, from earthy sugar cane and dried fruit to vanilla and toasted oak.

The aroma of this rum is a delicate balance of dried fruits, sweet toasted breads, toffee, honey, and caramelised sugar, with faint notes of sherry and raisins.I've been drinking rum for over 40 years and find this to be one of the better sipping rums, smooth flavoursome and without the devastation of throat burn that the rougher end of the bunch induce, it is after all meant to be a pleasure and not an endurance.
