Kirk and Sweeney 12-Year

Bought this at meijer on sale for 25
Excellent rum for the price, drank a little neat, then on ice. Not to sweet, caramel. vanilla and oak flavors.
Comes in Nice bottle, highly recommend at this price.

This rum could become a standby. Smooth, flavorful, and delicious. Love it.

Drinkable but I am confounded by the high ratings for this overly sweet rum with a strong vanilla aftertaste. If you are into a spiced rum flavor without the spice, then this would be a good rum for you. But if you like a nice neat sipper, and you appreciate the true undertones of a traditionally distilled rum, this one is not for you.

Butter scotch caramel flavors. Very smooth and tasty.

Vanilla can be felt and little bit of Cask. Taste is smooth. I like it. Yessss.

This was not bad, just lacking a disctict flavor presence. So many better choices at this price point.

Unique bottle design, great quality/price. Wood, vanilla in taste, smoother, just a bit sweet but not too much.

Not one of my favorite rums, will probably use it more for a mix in the end. Bit too pungent and strong in the throat... But it does look nice in the cabinet!

A great rum just the right amount of sweetness one of my favourites I would recommend this to anyone

I've drank many Rums. This is the now the standard. There are better rums but at what price? This should be drank neat. Use the inferior rums for mixing. Vanilla, Tobacco, banana, orange peel, butter baby! Not too sweet like Zaya and Pyrat, but just enough sweetness to not be cloying. This rum is complex and is a changer if you let it breathe in the glass for a while. I tried this side by side with Plantation 5 year and the plantation tasted like Ronrico. lol. For the few negative or average reviews on this site, those people are smoking. This is great Rum.

Edit: I recommended this to a Zaya drinker and they did not like it. It confirms my assessment that KS12 is just slightly sweet which is perfect for me.

Double edit: I just tried a bottle of Diplomatico exclusivo and the KS12 is still superior. Less sweet and more manly. Get some. They should be paying me for this.
