Kirk and Sweeney 2021 Burning Mast

Tasted at Laka Lono February 20, 2022
Notes indicate that I would make a MARGARITA out of this rum, with an additional note to self to order a tiki beer to drink alongside this one.
7/10 rating
EDIT: Also tasted 8/9/22 at Kill Devil Rum club tasting at Laka Lono. This time around I wrote in the word "zero" as the rating, with the following notes: I don't want to drink this ever again. Someone else will probably like it.
Reviewer is changing the rating from the initial 7/10 to 5/10 out of respect for the "zero" score noted on the 8/9/22 rating

It's just a bit of red-pepper-fun in front all the stuff you know and love from any other K&S. A little hot on the end, but its a distinctly spicy heat, not alcohol heat. If this sounds like your thing, give it a try, and if not, you're not missing anything special. What a fun li'l thing!

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 8/9/22. For a pepper barrel "aged" rum blend, this has no discernable spiciness to the aroma. Light amber/dark gold color. Not bad at all. I expected to hate this. It has a long, mild but pleasant burn.
