Kirk & Sweeney Reserva Rum 750ml

This deep mahogany colored rum presents a sweet aroma balanced heavily toward cane honey, with earthy sugar cane undertones, along with a hint of vanilla, luscious toasted oak, caramel and dried fruits.

Initial taste reveals a nectar-sweet quality, leading to a weightier body that’s serious in character but not overbearing. Light notes of vanilla and wood hit the palate transforming into an incredibly smooth offering. Bold, ripe, and sweet vanilla flavors evolve near the end, providing a smooth, long and luxurious finish.

Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, this rum adheres to the very strict regulations to be called 
“Dominican Rum”. The process begins with hand harvested, high quality sugarcane that is processed 
into grade three Blackstrap Molasses for fermentation and distillation. The rum is then aged in a variety 
of American and French oak barrels, with the distiller conducting various steps of dumping, blending 
and re-barreling through the years. The final blend is a selection of variously aged rums between 3 and 
14 years, painstakingly hand selected, this is indeed a rum well worth pursuing.

 KIRK AND SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the  
Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. In 1924, it was seized off the 
coast of New York with a massive amount of rum aboard. The schooner was subsequently renamed 
“Chase” and pressed into duty as a Coast Guard trainer, serving until the late 1940’s when it was 
retired and salvaged.
