This was really tasty rum however I don't think I'll try this one again, since it is not for sale anymore. Replaced with lower quality rums.

Nicely balanced, pleasant taste - a must try. Although, after blind tasting together with Abuelo XV family and some Oliver products - had to lower the score to 8 from the initial 9.

Tasted at Laka Lono 4/17/22, Easter Sunday, after a 12 hour work day. Rum 1 of 3.
This rum comes in hot but then dies down.
Thats' the notes.
Dobry balans pomiędzy wyrazistością alkoholu w rumie a słodyczą. Niższa ocena bo w tej cenie (289 zł) można dostać lepsze lub niewiele gorsze rumy.

My first bottle of this 23 was excellent. I couldn’t wait to get another. Unfortunately, the second bottle was harsh and very acidic. Nowhere near as enjoyable as the first.
My third bottle was a gift, and quite good.
I’ve since tried the 23 Gran Reserva thinking it might be the better of the three, but I was wrong. I much prefer the “good” bottles of the 23.
I’ve been told that the 23, the 23 Reserva, and the 23 Gran Reserva are all the same rum with different labels.

Medium mahogany color, nose is light, vanilla and oak on the pallet, a nice tart chew and. Zesty if strong finish.
On the nose there is a strong scent of vanilla mixed with caramel. Followed by butterscotch and a little oak.
First sip has a strong oak taste, then vanilla and butterscotch that lingers. There was some burn on the tongue and not as smooth as I was hoping. Over all, this was best on the rocks.

Karamel, melasa, trtinovy cukr a to vse v lehkem havu. Prazdna dochut. Komercni styl kde stipne alkohol. Nic,co chcete opakovat.

out of 10
Having tried their 12 and 18 year olds, I finally got around to trying this 23 year old. It reminds me of the 18 year old except I don't notice any leather and the wooden notes are ever so slightly more. This one is also $7 more than the 18 year old, so flip a coin to see which one you prefer on any given day. Just stay away from the 12 year old. I still recommend the 18 Year as the best buy from them.
Update May 7, 2019: For those of you who still have the old bottles of K&S with them being widest at the top, KEEP THEM as they will soon become collector's items!!! The new bottles are totally round and look like rum versions of Chambord Liqueur. I kid you not! I at first criticized my bottle of K&S 12 as being hard to pour and needing two hands. At least the cork fits tight and the bottle is unlikely to spill on a rocking boat out to sea! After having a lot a very bad rum bottle designs, those original K&S bottles are for keeps! Hang on to them.
Update August 7, 2021: This is a sad day for a once proud rum distiller. Just read my update for the K&S 18 to see why my rating has dropped.
