This rum takes its name from a sailing ship named 'Kirk and Sweeney' which served as a smuggling ship for rum between the Caribbean and the northeast of the USA in the early days of prohibition.

On the palate, initial hints of honey, toffee and caramelized sugar lead to subtler notes of almond and vanilla, which finally give way to bursts of figs, dried plums, caramel and sherry on the finish. Named after a ship that smuggled spirits to the US during the Prohibition era, the Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva Superior is a luxury rum made using sugar cane from the Dominican Republic. A wonderful sipper to be enjoyed neat or over ice, this rum can also be added to a variety of adventurous cocktails. Twenty three years spent in American Oak barrels, housed in brick at the distillery, has lent every bottle a touch of dried fruit, sherry and honey.

It offers a bit of vanilla, dark chocolate and dark berries, but is dominated by somewhat bitter oaky notes. uk accepts no liability for inaccuracies or misstatements about products by manufacturers or other third parties.
