Kirk and Sweeney Reserva

Not my preferred blend of flavors, it's a little cloying and i feel that the flavor notes can be a little too sharp and almost artificial.

This is a decent mid-tier rum. I prefer the aged 18 or 23 year though.

Classic rum flavour. Quite rich, not a tonne of flavour but it’s enjoyable.

I had higher expectations... Not more than an ok rum...

Láhev velmi pěkná.
Rum slabší. Kromě štiplavosti na konci mi přijde nevýrazný.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 8/9/22. Mild aroma, a bit astringent. Very sweet flavor. Cane sugar and honey. Thin peppery finish.

Ok K & S has gone from age stated to Reserva, Gran Reserva, Gran Reserva Superior and as far as I’m concerned it’s a downhill move to hold costs or increase profits. I’m washing my hands of K & S who did great marketing and branding so why fuck it up?

Disappointingly this promised so much but failed to deliver. I was really looking forward to tasting this effort and saved a night out for it. Alas, another samey rum with nothing to distinguish it from many, many others. I had high hopes of cardamom, oak, pineapple, not too much vanilla, something I could luxuriate around my palate and instead, well rather than prince buster I got Manfred man. I could cry!

I was expecting a little more than this K&S gave. Nice aromatics. Flavor ok, molasses rum, slight vanilla, faint spice. Above average.

Not extremely complicated, but still gives off slight hints of a faraway island breeze
