KIRK AND SWEENEY was a wooden schooner, best known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during the early years of Prohibition. In 1924, it was seized off the coast of New York with a massive amount of rum aboard. The schooner was subsequently re-named "Chase" and pressed into duty as a Coast Guard trainer, serving until the late 1940s when it was retired and salvaged.
Looking at its deep amber and iridescent copper color, it's clear this 23-year-old rum is uniquely charming. Its nose teases with toasty, dried fruits and a hint of honey and toffee, while the taste delights through an evolving sensation of fruit, vanilla and sherry. Finishing off each decadent sip, you'll find endnotes that range from a distinct caramel, to sherry, to a well-balanced blend of almond and vanilla.
