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.
Kirk and Sweeney was distilled using traditionally harvested sugar cane and aged in oak for 18 years to fully develop its profile-- an enticing scent of sherry and molasses, followed by the taste of deep vanilla with a hint of caramel and dried fruits. Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds in the finish with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry and raisin.
