Kirk and Sweeney 23-Year

Naozaj ma príjemne prekvapil. Výrazná drevitost , ktorá je nad sladkosťou. Tá je decentná a príjemná. Skutočne fajn rum k cigare, alebo na relax po jedle. Odporúčam ako jeden z mála sladsich

Ve vůni vanilka a drevo. Chuť sladší asi nejlepší z trojice 12,18,33. Nepřekvapil ani extra nezklamal.

Had this over dinner. Nothing too crazy to report about. Ironically enough I like the ks 12 better than this one. This one has a bit more aged taste to it.

Actually I'm not sure of this is a 7 or 8 out of 10. Was good but still not convinced to get it a second time

Last year when I was in Vegas they had just sold their last bottle of the 23 year old so I had to settle for the 18 year old.
This time I managed to nab the 23 amongst a few other select choices (more on them later).
Sitting down with this bottle I expected it to be an 8 or a 9; if nothing more then the fact that it is aged for 23 years.
But alas; you can't always assume that age makes everything better.
Actually; the extra aging over the 18 has made this one a little bit too oaky and bitter. I tried letting it sit longer like some others have noted; but it didn't seem to help that much.
It I had to pick one of the three; I think I would stick with the 18.

It is decent rum, but nothing special. Maybe it was served a little too hot.

Obviously this is down to personal taste, and for me this is too sweet.

I don't get the complexity or depth of flavour you'd expect from a 23 year old rum, would you do get is lashings of sweet butterscotch and vanilla.
It's a nice, pleasant rum, but there's much better out there.

At £50 for a 23 YO, it could be seen as a bargain regardless, BUT you have to question WHY it's so cheap...

If you like the sweeter rums; Diplomatico, Plantation XO you'll like it.

For a rum at this price........ the taste hits you with a boom in the mouth, and then VERY shortly after - NOTHING......... the taste is gone. A very hyped rum, that lack a lot in taste.

Smooth, easy to enjoy neat. Notes of Butterscotch, mahogany.

This was an easy drinking sipper. But perhaps too easy. The flavor was too muted. Licorice.Nice roundness to it though. Just wish the actual taste wasn't so dull.
