Kirk and Sweeney 23-Year

Dominican republic, 40%, 23 year old
This pleasant and delicious drink has malt inspired by the taste of caramel and sherry, perfectly balanced with piece of vanilla.

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

I previously tried the 12 and I am a big fan of it. So my expectations for the 23 were high. It disappointed greatly.

The good: Nice presentation. Beautiful mid-amber colour. Gorgeous bottle. Brown sugar and a hint of butterscotch on the nose. A little alcohol too, but that’s ok.

The bad: Medicinal taste. No really positive flavour notes can come out because of the overpowering medicinal flavour. Far too much burn for a 23-year-old rum. Even the aftertaste makes you want to drink something else to get rid of the taste.

The 12 is substantially better. I am a fan of Dominican rums, I don’t recommend this at all. Especially not at $100+ here in Canada.

Pretty good, definitely could drink it straight, but honestly it’s about the same as the 18 to me, but more expensive

Nice and smooth sipping rum. I will definitely buy this again

Dominican Republic. Agricole. The first real aged rum I tried, so hard to rate - 7 may be giving me room for rums I try later. Very dry, but enjoyable.

I only tried agricole from martinique and guadeloupe, this one is really good for an agricole, smell really good, the bottle is beautifull and different.

I absolutely love this rum, it is a fantastic sip and truly a delicious after dinner sipper, my favorite rum I've tried so far!

Just as flavorful as the 12 year but not as sweet. Good sipper for a reasonable price.

Honestly I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, this is a very enjoyable rum, but it's no where as complex as I thought it would be. And that's ok. Personally, I'll stay with my El Dorado 15 year.
