Any rating lower than a 9 for this rum is nonsense! It's a godsend...and King of the Agricoles!

Oak, vanilla, and caramel are the dominant flavors with hints of brown sugar, molasses and maple syrup. The nose is almost candy-like. It finishes like silk, smooth and luxurious with no bite at all and with a pleasant tobacco note. This is not a hot or spicy rum and despite its 23 years in a barrel the conspicuous tobacco note is not burnt or foul tasting, more like a very well maintained high quality cigar. It has a deep cherry wood color and a thick, rich body that sticks to the glass. This rum needs to breathe a bit before drinking, I say at least a half hour. The next day I chilled it in my freezer and it was amazing, more candy like.

This is a sipping rum and I know its not the smartest thing to do with a rum such as this but if you add it to Coke you'll have Vanilla Coke with a kick! I'll be buying this rum again next week... I'm glad to have taken this one off my wish list. For $42 a bottle this rum is actually under priced!

Edit: I've always said the best way to really get into a rum and discover its character is to get hammered off of it! I did that this weekend. I woke up and there was that beautiful tobacco note lingering in my nose and the taste of vanilla beans in my mouth. Then, three hours and two Gatorades later I got out of bed. Yes, this is a very fine rum...but it delivers a crippling hangover! Play with caution.

This rum has a full body taste. It can be served at room temperature or chilled. It has a nice taste upon entrance but the back end has a little bit of a bitter undertone.

Scored an offer at Binny’s. For 39.99 is one of the best runs out there. Hopefully it will stay under the radar, so we’ll can enjoy it more

One of the smoothest rums I’ve tried. Not overly sweet with vanilla on the nose, through to leather and candied fruit on the palate. Light finish and no burn at all.

Duft af vanilie og smag af karamel med mange smagsnuancer. En virkelig god rom. Meget tæt på 10. Kan muligvis få det ved næste smagning. (Så smagte jeg den igen, og det er virkelig en topklasse rom)

This is a wonderful rum. Somewhat sweeter than the Kirk & Sweeney 18 year. Distinct molasses and brown sugar. Sweet, but quite complex. Excellent value.

This is the one of the easiest sipping rums i've had. Excellent for beginners.

Edit: As of 5 days later I found this rum is lacking a bit I changed my rating to a 7 it's easy enough to sip but gets old after a few glasses.

Ein netter Rum zum Feierabend. Ganz lecker, viel Alkohol.

En lo personal creo que este Kirk and Sweeney es un buen ron, sin embargo no llega a ser tan bueno como esperaba; el aroma que desprende es interesante algo dulce, y ligeramente se puede sentir el tabaco; al probarlo tiene un sabor agradable, un poco dulce, matices de frutados y tabaco, sin embargo a mi parecer es un poco ligero, como que le falta densidad. El color es muy bueno, es caoba claro.

This is a great go to rum. Nice to sip and makes an excellent rum and coke! It is a sweet golden rum, with nice notes of vanilla, caramel and oak. It is smooth with a touch of heat that then fades back into a vanilla brown sugar finish, damned satisfying! Honestly this is an 8.5 on the Joe scale.

Udemærket rom med en fin smag. Ligger på 6,5 - 7,0, men har smagt mange andre der siger mig mere
