“Smooth, vanilla-rich everyday rum, slightly lacks depth.”

Kirk and Sweeney 18 Years is a charming rum from the Dominican Republic, showcasing a rich tapestry of flavors due to its 18-year aging process in column stills at Bermudez distillery. Characterized by enticing vanilla and caramel notes with a sweet, round profile, it appeals to both novice drinkers and rum aficionados. Users appreciate its smooth drinkability and balance, although some find it lacking depth in the finish. Its aromatic bouquet of vanilla, dried fruits, and molasses makes it a versatile choice, ideal for sipping neat or over ice. This rum, bottled by 3 Badge Mixology, is often praised as a delightful entry-level option for those seeking a flavor-packed experience without overwhelming spice or complexity.
