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 1940's when it was retired
and salvaged.
Aroma: This deep mahogany colored rum presents a sweet aroma balanced heavily toward cane honey, with earthy sugar cane undertones, along with a hint of vanilla, luscious toasted oak, caramel and dried fruits.
Taste: Initial taste reveals a nectar-sweet quality, leading to a weightier body that indicates substantially aged rum that’s serious in character but not overbearing. Light notes of vanilla and wood hit the palate transforming into an incredibly smooth offering.
Finish: Bold, ripe, and sweet vanilla flavors evolve near the end, providing a smooth, long and luxurious finish.
The Kirk & Sweeney 12 Year Dominican Rum is crafted by Sonoma, CA’s very own multi award-winning 35 Maple Street.
