I bought a bottle for $28 and would be willing to spend more after tasting this. Caramel, vanilla, and oak flavors with no burn. Good looking bottle also.

In my opinion itโ€™s almost flawless. Itโ€™s uniquely flavoured. Full of the perfect blend of spice. Not overwhelming and leaves you wanting more after every sip. The only thing that could make it better is smoothing out the aftertaste.

From the get go it's obvious this is sweetened after distillation. But Kirk & Sweeney is still an enjoyable rum experience either as a casual sipper or in a simple cocktail like a daiquiri or a planter's punch (Just be sure not to add simple syrup). Palate is sweet with hints of almond, biscuit and heavy molasses. Aroma is has a *hint* of burning caramel. All in all not a regrettable purchase, but not a repeat purchase.

This rum is not particularly sweet, has a good color, a bit of a burn on the medium finish but not harsh. Overall, quite drinkable neat but there is a slightly off flavor that I am not good enough to identify. It has a slight chemical taste - may be alcohol and charred oak, I suppose. Nice bottle as well.

Huge disappointment, and better choices out there for the price. Very strong taste and smell of vanilla, so much so that I wonder if this is artificially flavored - like dumping a small bottle of vanilla essence into a bland rum. I can't believe that much vanilla can develop naturally from aging in a barrel, with pretty much no other flavors developing at the same time.
Not much else apart from the vanilla taste and smell. The only positive is that it doesn't have too much burn. Useless as a mixer too, because the smell of vanilla is overpowering.

Quite fine, bit vanilla and oaks barrel wooden taste, not as the older buddy of this family, but well all right for private sipping.

Great in a tiki drink and tasty to sip on. Will have to review it more in depth after more analysis.

This is my third example of K&S. 18yo, 23yo and now 12. They are in perfect proportion of taste per age. I'm just wondering what is the price per age of everyone?
64/12=5.33$
90/18=5
104/23=4.5
So, the taste/$ is the best for the grandfather )
Anyway, all of them are highly recommended!

There is to much burn and not good flavour, it very basic. Would not recommend

I bought this from a local store, mostly out of excitement that there was finally something different. Looks nice, tastes fine, overpriced in relation to similar quality rum.

But I have enjoyed a few daiquiris with this at a local favorite spot, lounging under live oaks.
I canโ€™t speak to it on its own, but with that simple & classic bit of mixing, itโ€™s provided me with some pleasant memories
