Kirk and Sweeney 12-Year

A well balance one ! I enjoyed sipping it !
Lack a little bit of complexity but overall it does the Job ! The final is really persistant.
I m looking forward to taste the 18 and 23 years. Already have both in my cabinet.
Cheers !

Tasted at Laka Lono 4/17/22 on Easter, in celebration of completing a 12 hour work day. This was rum 2 of 3 from Kirk and Sweaney.
The flavor is lighter than the 23. It seemed slightly medicinal, or perhaps carried an improbably peppermint flavor.

I had hear only good things about kirk and Sweeney from this site. So when I found it during my trip to Seattle I was debating on which bottle to get. I settled on the 12 year instead of the 18 which they also had. Overall I was a bit disappointed, as it is good but with a pretty mild flavor profile and quite thin mouth feel. I was just expecting a quite distinct flavor that I would label this rum with but was left with a quite standard rum Which was not too sweet and goes down easy.

Nice on ice and never been disappointed… especially when on sale at our local grocery store!

Quite enjoyable with coke, good flavour for a 12 year aged rum

Nice well rounded rum, versatile, but lacks some character to remember it..

I found this smooth, very drinkable and one to enjoy with friends - making it a solid crowd pleaser. I sense a lot of additional sugar, which is why I rate it a 7, but having a look around online it says it has little additives, but I find that hard to believe. Still I wasn't disappointed and I look forward to going through their range.

Need to try again for proper review. Moving short review from Distiller tasting 3/2017

Tasted at Laka Lono on 1/19/20. This was the earlier version of the rum that they have reconfigured as reserva. Big banana aroma. Sweetness to first taste with a mild pepper finish. A big banana flavor persists. Cloves. Vanilla. Finishes mild.

Incredibly well done and not that different from the 18 and 23 year versions.
