After reading the Ratings, I'd like to buy Kirk&Sweeney 23 years, but it was sold out. So I took the 18 years. Believe me or not, I was quiet dissapointed. A bunch of vanilla in a wooden cask. And it burns rather badly. Nevertheless, I will try the 23 years one.

This is everything I like in rum. It's sweet, but not sugary. It has an alcohol burn, but is pretty damn smooth. The aroma is incredible.

My first thought of the scent was maple syrup, but the more I drink it the more I think butterscotch is a better description. The taste is excellent - full and well-balanced. A bit like brandy. Not fruity.

I usually drink rum on the rocks, and frequently with lime. I haven't been able to bring myself to do either with this.

Additionally, I think it's really great relative to its price point. The other rums I've had that were this good were a lot more expensive.

Once again, anything less than a 9 for this rum is unconscionable! It is just as good as the 23 with some small differences. This one is a little less sweet, a little less oaked, and has a tiny bit of a dryer almond taste. Other than that, its pretty much the same review I wrote for the 23. Next stop, the 12 year. Yeah, I did this one totally backwards...

We tried this because my wife liked the K & S 12 year. I thought this was even better and so did she.

There is a very strong aroma of vanilla in this rum. One of the strongest scents of any rum I have ever had. You can smell it as soon as you open the bottle. The rum is very smooth and you have a hint of vanilla in the taste. Very good sipper.

I drink it on the rocks with with one ice cube,.

Nothing to compare with the 12 years old.
This 18 years old worth every single penny ! Probably one the best rhum I have ever try. Santiago de los caballeros !!! Sweet at first, I can enjoy the complexity and the final seems to last forever ! A must try. Cant wait to open the 23 years old soon. 😁

A rum that fills the nose and enrich the taste. A perfect mix of vanilla and caramel. You can notice each one with every sip. Amazing.

Tasted at Laka Lono 4/17/22 on Easter, in celebration of completing a 12 hour work day. This was rum 3 of 3 from Kirk and Sweaney.
This rum had a very nice flavor - smooth and sweet. I appreciated more than the other two.
The flavor and aroma carried trademark rum vanilla and brown sugar essence.
I recommend trying these in the order I did: 23, then 12, then 18.

Not so nice smell, awful when neat, taste like moonshine. In cocktails drinkable, but last choice

I much prefer the K&S 23 but the K&S 18 is worth the spend.
