Kirk and Sweeney 18-Year

I've once had two of them, once I gave (with success) and second I sipped here and there. Can't really say anything bad about but it is too forgettable and average. Could be sweeter, too. Price +- adequate to a cask quality but don't quite match the TASTE. I am however open to taste more K&S's in the future.

I poured this neat and let it breathe about 10 minutes before sampling. Definitely caught the smell of caeamel and butterscotch as I lifted cup to my mouth. A good warmth to it, but not burning as it goes down. A smooth, velvety mouth feel that coats slightly. A good slightly sweet aftertaste leaves you happy and ready to sip more sooner than you'd probably want to with cheaper rums.

This is a good smooth rum that is rich in flavor. A little bit pricey but worth it. I’ll definitely buy a bottle again again.

Je to bezesporu výborný rum, ale něco mi tak u každé druhé sklenky trosku vadilo. Voní po vanilce, sušeném ovoci a snad i javorovým sirupu. Chuť je oproti vůni méně sladká a i korenena. Závěr je příjemné hrejivy

One of the best rum I ever tasted, great taste and price

I picked up the 12 year on my first trip and it was so good that I ended up going back to get this 18 year. This is a wonderful rum that is sweet, but not overpoweringly so and goes down super smooth.

Complex flavour profile of spices and wood and brown sugar. Warming without being too harsh, solid finish. Very enjoyable drop

Found a quality liquor store in Portland, ME, Bow Street Beverage. Found this on their shelf and enjoyed it for a week in Acadia. Came home no compared to 23 year. I enjoyed the 18 year, but the 23 year is worth the extra. 18 year lacks the complexity.

Báječná vůně. Krásná jantarová barva. Vynikající chuť s tóny vanilky, oříšků a karamelu.
Jemně sladký, štiplavý, skvělá dochuť.

I like 23year so I hoped this could be close.
But no. It is not so complex, I taste a lot of vanilla but artificial.
Aroma - almost any, I was for a while afraid that maybe because of Covid.
Sure I will not buy another bottle.
