Kirk & Sweeney Reserva Dominican Republic Rum, 700ml

Product Information

KIRK AND SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. I tried it again last night and thought it was actually quite nasty and what I was going to do with it! However, my rum cupboard is quite full, and for the first time ever, I'm half tempted to pour it down the sink (though I won't end up doing that, more than likely I'll try and give it away).

Upon opening the bottle, you'll be greeted with aromas of vanilla, sherry-soaked raisins, and earthy sugar cane undertones. The 25-year XO: this exceptional rum, aged for 25 years, unveils elegant and subtle flavors of candied fruits, mild spices, and honey.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

There is high concentration of the core flavour and they don't "breathe" even with few drops of water. 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. Finishing off each decadent sip, you’ll have endnotes that range from a distinct caramel, to sherry, to a well-balanced blend of almond and vanilla. KIRK and SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition.Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry and raisin. Some mention that it has a great flavour, while others say that it tastes harsh and like cheap pure alcohol.
