The Kirk and Sweeney Reserva is a blended Dominican rum with an ABV of 40% and a volume of 700ml. This rum is produced by the renowned distillery J Armando Bermudez & Co in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. The name Kirk and Sweeney pays tribute to a rum-running schooner that was used to smuggle Caribbean rum into the United States during prohibition.
The Kirk and Sweeney Reserva is made from molasses, in contrast to many Dominican rums which are made from sugarcane juice. The rum is aged in oak barrels, as evidenced by its mahogany color. The aging process gives the rum notes of vanilla, honey, and caramel, as well as sherry notes of dried fruit and oak. The palate is described as pleasantly sweet, with a dense molasses flavor accompanied by vanilla and a hint of fresh almond. The finish is long, with the flavors of dried fruit, vanilla, and a hint of fresh almond.
The Kirk and Sweeney Reserva is selected by The Other Guys, a famed California wine maker, and is hand harvested using high quality sugarcane. The rum is aged in a variety of American and French oak barrels, with the distiller conducting various steps of dumping, blending and re-barreling through the years. The bottle and raised cork are inspired by 18th-century onion bottles, which typically contained rum.
The Kirk and Sweeney Reserva is not only a nod to the past, but also meets modern expectations.

Reviewers describe Kirk and Sweeney Reserva as a light and simplistic rum with a typical "rum" aroma of vanilla, caramel, and ginger, complemented by notes of chocolate, wood, and sweet spices. The palate often reveals a smooth, syrupy texture with flavors of coffee, chocolate, and an underlying creaminess. Though some find the finish short and the taste somewhat synthetic, overall, it is considered a solid, if unremarkable, choice for both beginners and experienced rum enthusiasts.
