Kirk and Sweeney 12-Year

But I have enjoyed a few daiquiris with this at a local favorite spot, lounging under live oaks.
I can’t speak to it on its own, but with that simple & classic bit of mixing, it’s provided me with some pleasant memories

This rum has a great smell when first opening it. After first taste theres a lot going on, but its not horrible, not harsh, and not funky. But there is a lot of flavors happening. I could taste a bit of oak, and maybe a hint of vanilla. Tastes fresh and clean with a smooth finish.

The 12 gives you hints of vanilla & toffee with a heavy Clove finish that is slightly bitter and very dry. Definitely Not a sweet rum. Has a slight burn to it. As a rock melts and it airs out, it definitely mellows out, but still leaves the back of your throat with a heavy warming sensation. I’ve had better and had worst. Just another mid grade rum that’s about $5 overpriced.

A nice tasting rum with plenty of flavour. A bit on the sweet side, so those who prefer less sweet tasting rums will probably not like this as much but I realy enjoy it. Worth the 8 stars for sure.

Příjemný a jemný rum za rozumnou cenu. Za mě klasika na posezení s přáteli.

Rhum de mélasse de République Dominicaine, vieilli 12 ans selon la méthode solera. Titre 40°
Design : gros effort sur le packaging, superbe bouteille, le rhum a une belle couleur ambrée.
Nez : épices, alcool, caramel.
Dégustation : l'attaque est douce, attaque de l'alcool puis dominante épice, boisé léger et caramel..
Finale : courte, avec une légère amertume.
Le ramage plutôt que le plumage, ce rhum reste très correct bien que trop sirupeux à mon goût.

unabashedly sweet, but stops short of being overpowering. loads of full desserty flavors like vanilla, orange, and toasted almond, with a gentle balancing note of toasted oak. not quite as complex as the very best, but a fine sipping rum nonetheless.

Aye, say what you want about 12 year-olds, there be a maturity to this rum. She has a bit of a sweet smell about her, but not syrupy sweet, with caramel, some vanilla, and a touch of oak. As taste goes, she be even less sweet, but not dry! There be a decent amount of sweet in this one, and the caramel, vanilla, and oak come along on board as well. There be a healthy amount of spice in this one, and t'would seem some manner of sweet fruit. This be a smooth and flavorable sippin' rum, me hardies. Be sure to hide THIS one from the crew...

Really solid aged rum. I had low expectations because I can find this in most grocery stores, but wow it is good. Priced right, easy to sip. This is a great starter for novice rum sippers. Lots of flavorful notes that are easy to recognize.

Sweet and smooth. Pairs very well with muddled espresso and chocolate bitters
