Smoothed out and extra spicy for the Kirk and Sweeney trio. Sweet candy in a glass. I keep all three of the Kirk and Sweeney Rum on a constant refill. Always a replacement ready should an empty bottle threaten. As the oldest of the group the 23 year didn’t pick up too much wood but it does add enough additional spice to tone down the caramel and toffe of the 18. A wonderful sipper. A little breathing time is a good idea.

Kirk and Sweeney have their stuff together! All 3 ages are priced appropriately and each a little different than one another. For a few extra bucks than the 18 you can grab a 23 year. They are not dissimilar and again lots of creamy caramel flavor and vanilla, but not overly sweet! Highly recommend this and the 18, nothing against the 12 which is fantastic but for a few extra $$ the 18 and 23 are great buys!!

...but then I let it breathe. Toffee, vanilla and dried fruit on the nose, silky mouthfeel with added notes of maple and tobacco and a long, lingering finish. Expensive, but worth every penny.

This one’s a little more seasoned than the other two in the collection, but I think the 18 is a little better. Nice mix of subtle spice, caramel, fruit, and oak. There’s a bit of a burn that the younger ones don’t have, but it’s nothing crazy. Definitely worth giving it a shot.

Complex and smooth with a a little smoky firiness months throat. I find that the 18 is slightly smoother, but at the cost of complexity. Both are remarkable rums however.

Purchased after sampling the 18 year old. Orderered from Amazon at £49.54 prime next day delivery. Kirk and Sweeney rums are well priced. Aged in the dominican republic and bottles in Fairfield, California. This bottle is a 750ml US whereas the 18 was a 700ml (may be differences in vendor).

I find the 23 a wonderful sipper on its own it has a fruity, nutty, butterscotch nose, it's a wonderful aroma. The flavours in the mouth of the sip are sherry and forest fruit, caramel and slightly nutty, there are many other things going on in this rum and I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just delicious; there is however a slight firiness on the throat but a cube of ice solves that.

Wonderfully smooth and beautifully complex and at £50 a bottle it's a steal easily comparable to the Eldorado 21 year which is priced around the £80 mark.

Ce rhjm sur des notes de canne de caramel et de vanille se rzpproche d un brugal 1888 el dorado 15 et d un admiral rodney mais avec sa touche.bien fait et bien equilibré il ne vaut pas à mon sens un opthimus 25 et meme 21.il n a pas ce coté unique.par contre a 52e il a un bon rapport qualité prix.Et c est surement une des plus belles bouteilles de ma collection.note 8.6.A acheter si possible....

Not as good as the K&S 18 year old which not only is less expensive but nicer on the nose and mouth. The finish is a bit flat.

Russ said it all in ‘I’m in love’.
Just cracked my first bottle and wow. Such complexity. The vanilla dances around the tongue. Rather dry. An amazing rum. The K&S 12 is delightful for one so relatively young but this 23 is simply stunning. I have a bottle of the 18 staring at me. Mmmmmmm. Compare and contrast? Perhaps not this evening. On the other hand........
