About this deal

The 25-year XO: this exceptional rum, aged for 25 years, unveils elegant and subtle flavors of candied fruits, mild spices, and honey. Anyway the 12 year reserva is a decent but not great rum hint of citrus some alcohol scent and burn. Reserva might well imply it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were much younger rums in the blend.

At first sip, flavors of toasted oak and vanilla delight the senses with hints of raisin and sherry, built upon layers of spice and sweet dried fruits. It smells like the sweetness could wisp you away to the Caribbean, only to be shot down at the port of flavour. 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.

Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. 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. The bottle itself is a work of art, making it a great addition to any liquor collection or a perfect gift for the rum enthusiast in your life.

Bold, ripe, and sweet vanilla flavors evolve near the end, providing a smooth, long and luxurious finish. The full-bodied character of this rum is further enhanced by its intense vanillas, classic rum tones, and robust flavours.

Playing off the concept of global navigation, an antique nautical map of the main rum smuggling route is silkscreened around the circumference of the bottle. KIRK and SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition.

Content on this site is not intended to substitute for advice given by medical practitioner, pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professional.As a result, it has a deep amber and iridescent copper color along with an aroma of dried fruits and sweet, toasted breads. Initial taste reveals a nectar-sweet quality, leading to a weightier body that indicates substantially aged rum that’s serious in character but not overbearing. Top with freshly grated nutmeg, add orange moon standing up inside the glass, then add a pineapple wedge to the glass and serve. I occasionally got some mild fruit but nothing substantial, maybe a hint of orange rind and apricot, really not sure.

It offers a bit of vanilla, dark chocolate and dark berries, but is dominated by somewhat bitter oaky notes.

It tastes like an agricole, albeit an exceptional one, and tastes at least as good as the far more expensive Clement XO (imho).
