Kirk and Sweeney RESERVA

Heute gibt es einen leckeren Kirk and Sweeney. In der Nase etwas süß und Zucker in der Nase. Im Geschmack auch etwas süß und ein Hauch von Vanille. Natürlich etwas zu süß aber man kann ihn trotzdem trinken

Reasonably sweet, smoked aftertaste.

Light coconut and some honey. Clear copper pour. Some oak in the finish. A hint of citrus.

Nez trop alcoolisé gout caramel et sucre de canne! C’est pas ce que j’aime le plus maivais rapport qualité prix

Equilibrato, note legnose al naso e al palato

Une très beau flacon avec un très beau bouchon et une couleur prometteuse mais à part cela c’est à peu près tout! C’est alcooleux mais sans grande saveur, ça manque cruellement de finesse. Au final j’ai préférer le finir dans le baba au rhum

Next one of the mainstream sample set. Not bad. Not good. Just OK. The nose has some fruit, the tongue is has not much left of it, it is very mild and creamy. A bit on the sweeter side. What to do with it? No idea, a bit weak for mixing and it does not exist as a sipper.

A simple, solid rum, but unremarkable in every way.

On The Rocks: On the nose there is mild marshmellow with mild dark chocolate and mild young woody notes. Taste is smooth with a momentary spice influence that starts sweet and fades into a slight bitterness. The finish is smooth medium length with a brief return of some spice and sweetness. It is starting to show some initial signs of complexity building. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose very mild sweetness and very mild oak. Taste is smooth with mild sweetness but feels off balance. Not overly enjoyable mixed and would be better as a sipper on the rocks. Finish is short with sweetness fading into bitterness.

The nose has all the typical "rum" notes; vanilla, caramel and ginger. There's also a pronounced cream note that I get often from column still rums. Some chocolate and apple after further nosing. The palate has strong coffee notes that mix with some chocolate and the usual column still creaminess to give a mocha quality to this rum. Lots of allspice as well. It's a tad synthetic tasting. Not much to the finish. Short and keeps the mocha from the palate. Some vanilla from the nose shows up right at the end. Not a rum I'll be buying again. Too much column still creaminess, the coffee notes are pleasant but I suspect this was taken off the still at an eye watering strength.

Entry to sipping rums. Now I realize there are better.

A solid choice. A bit of caramel aroma. Neat was a bit nicer than mixed. Surprisingly, little burn.

Belle couleur m. Nez extrêmement plaisant sur la gourmandise, pâtisserie. Bouche moins expressive. Reste doux et alcoolique pour un 40 %. Finale sur le bois.

Very nice bottle.Rum weaker. Apart from the tanginess at the end, I find it bland.

This was just an Ok/Average rum for me. For the price point, there is some others that I would rather pick, but I would probably still buy this again if it was on sale. Once I popped the cork, I got very excited as I was greeted with an amazing and delightful smell. But once I sipped it, I felt like it lacked some complexity, and left me wanting something more to it. I tried mixing it with a coke, and again, it was just ok. I will drink this rum and try to find a home for it as a mixer, but probably won’t reach to it as a sipping Rum.
