Kirk and Sweeney 18-Year

First of all - smooth, elegant rum, very pleasant for sipping. Secondly - I love the beautiful bottle in which it arrives.

Báječná vůně. Krásná jantarová barva. Vynikající chuť s tóny vanilky, oříšků a karamelu.
Jemně sladký, štiplavý, skvělá dochuť.

Rotbraune Farbe.
Vanillenoten in der Nase.
Dezente Süße. Fruchtig, feinwürzig.
Komplex.
Weich, rund und mit gutem Körper.
Ausgedehnter Abgang.
Süffig. Sehr guter Sipper.

Very nice package, great taste and smell, better than 12Y.

Bought this when the owner of a bar recommended it to me. Its actually a little bit smoother than the 23 year. Sweet but not too much and tons of flavor.

This one has a beautiful sweet smooth texture to it with lots of vanilla honey and a slight caramel.
The aftertaste is nice but doesn't last long enough

Same bad bottle for a cabinet, but even more delicious inside.

The smell is amazing. Vanilla ! The taste is vanilla and caramel. Very nice!

A solid, if run-of-the-mill sipping rum. Typical flavors of caramel and vanilla. Balanced sweetness. Will update if I get another chance.

7+

Update 11/17: After tasting over a hundred more rums since my original rating, I re-tried another in this range, and it's got curiously strong vanilla notes. I'm wary.

Because I had a small tasting bottle. I'm kinda dissapointed. It wasn't a bad experience but I'm not amazed also. To short to be sure. A lot of vanilla and butterscotch at my nose. Very woody at the palate... Not very complex. I hope i will have a second chance with this one.
