As pleasantly complex as the nose would suggest, this rum is uniquely charming, blended from rums aged between 6 and 25 years.

Subtle aroma notes of dried fruits and sweet, toasted breads, along with a base toffee, fresh honey and caramelized sugar. A rich evolution on the mouth–from fresh, sweet sensations to dried fruits. Finishing off each decadent sip, you’ll find endnotes that range from a distinct caramel, to sherry, to a well-balanced blend of almond and vanilla.

KIRK AND SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. Legend has it that it was seized off the coast of New York with a massive amount of rum aboard. In the spirit of this rum runner, Kirk and Sweeney Dominican Rum is well worth pursuing.

Kirk and Sweeney is a Dominican Republic rum that was introduced into the general market in 2013. The Gran Reserva Superior was released in 2021 and is a close match in flavor profile to our old 23 Year Old Rum which was on the market from 2015-2020.
