Kirk & Sweeney 18 Year Rum 750ml

Well-aged rum trace on the nose — brown sugar, vanilla, and some chocolate/coffee overtones. The body starts things off in that direction, then takes an interesting twist toward some curious red wine notes. The coffee trace builds as the finish grows, along with some leather notes and a bit of dense sweetness, almost Port-like as it mingles with that wine-like character. You didn’t hear it from us, but we think the 18 is every bit as good as the 23-year old, which is high praise, indeed!
