The Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva is an exquisite blend of molasses rums distilled in the Dominican Republic, meticulously aged between 5 to 20 years in American oak barrels that once held bourbon. This full-bodied Dominican rum presents a sweet and complex profile, with enchanting notes of vanilla, sherry-soaked raisins, cinnamon, and toasted sugar cane. At the forefront, the rum introduces a rich sweetness reminiscent of roasting, accompanied by fine notes of coffee, toasted wood, and caramelized nuts. As it aerates, drier and more coppery notes emerge, while the nuts continue to roast, intensifying until they almost reach charring. On the palate, Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva is rich and caramelized, akin to a maple syrup infused with molasses. It offers a chocolatey texture with hints of pecans and walnuts, generously coated with lightly burnt caramel and spiced with sweet chili. The assembly and bottling of Kirk and Sweeney Gran Reserva occur in Santiago de Los Caballeros, a significant city in the north of the Dominican Republic. This rum is a tribute to the country's enduring tradition of producing high-quality Caribbean rum using Spanish methods, based on sugarcane juice, sugarcane syrup, or molasses. The Kirk and Sweeney brand honors the wooden schooner of the same name, notorious for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition.
