Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva Superior

This appears to be the replacement for the 23 year. It’s the top of the line for Kirk & Sweeney. I loved the 23 year. This version has a very good taste. Lots of flavor, vanilla is strong. The disappointment is the burn. Much harsher than the 23 year. I probably won’t buy this again, not much difference from the the others of the new Kirk & Sweeney line.

I bought this because the bottle looked awesome. Wish K&S would go back to the 12,18,23. This aged rum could be better.

Not too bad. Will sip it if offered but unlikely to buy again.

Metallic nose alcohol forward, light taste like its watered down with medium vanilla sweetness (not too sweet) then a sudden burst of peppery burn that lingers. Note not a fan of DR rums so add +2 if you are

Much harsher than the 23 year. As said in a previous review, I have to agree that there is a slight rubber flavor. Initially, I was hit with a woody flavor, then the bite. No burn going down. The rubber flavor lingers. Most likely will not purchase again. I loved the 23. This does not hold a candle to it.

no this is not worth the money, i wanted the 23 because of its rating. they gave me this one instead.... waste of money. tastes likes cheap rum with a muffy aftertaste. This one is good for Hot chocolate :D

Nose - very fresh, apples, grass, candies, but slightly weak. The taste is sweet and smooth. It didn't have any particular flavor to me, it was just sweet. The finish is very short almost none. I would expect much mor for a 23 year rum. I went to try this one because of reviews of 23y predecessor, but got this one instead. Little fun for a lot of money. For that price I am not conviced to buy again.
