Kirk and Sweeney 18 Year Rum

Utterly fantastic. I have around 20 mid to top shelf rums and this may be the best of what I own and have tried. I come from a bourbon background and the subtle oak tannins this bottle delivers is well received by my palate. The nose is full of rich vanilla, spice, brown sugar, melted caramel candies, oak peel, dried fruit... and more. The palate is presented with an oak forward tannin that developed into a sweet vanilla and caramel that finished like a burnt molasses. A fantastic rum that is smoothed our it’s flavor profile while still retaining multiple levels of flavor to dissect.

Molasses, vanilla, brown sugar and some nice funk on the nose, smooth palate with vanilla and baking spices, the finish has a little spice with vanilla and lasts longer than expected.

Just not the 23 yr. other than that, amazing
