Goldbraun mit mittleren Schlieren im Glas.
In der Nase zurückhaltend, sehr dezent nach Karamell.
Am Gaumen eine unerwartete Geschmacksverstärkung mit verschiedenen Nuancen. Beim ersten Schluck zeigt sich noch ein etwas scharfer alkoholischer Eindruck. Dann dezente Süße, feine Würze, etwas Holz, etwas Frucht, Butterscotch.
Mittlerer Körper, rund und ausgewogen.
Mittellanger Abgang.
Ein guter Sipper zu einem angemessenen Preis, aber für mich knapp an der 8 vorbei.
In my opinion it’s almost flawless. It’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.
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.

Short, Sweet, Emminently Drinkable

Immediately out of the bottle (and what a lovely bottle) there's a bit too much alcohol on the nose for me to really discern much. Letting it breathe a little reveals light notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and golden syrup.
The flavor that immediately hits you is the bitterness of that oak, which gets balanced out by sort of a spiced vanilla flavor, with a developing sweetness. There's fruity notes in there, too, but certainly not as much nor as overripe as something like an Appleton, for sure. It all kind of blends into something approaching caramel as you mull it all over. What you're left with at the end is a gentle warm burn, with nothing else really dominating the palate. This is not a rum that wants to overstay its welcome.
In total, this stuff is simple, unassuming, a little sweet ( but not oversweet), and enormously drinkable. Seriously, this isn't my favorite rum by any means, but it has this trick where the bottle opens and the stuff just sort of starts evaporating. A very approachable drink.
