Named after a schooner (as Kevin Smith taught us in the '90s, a schooner is a sailboat) which smuggled Caribbean rum during Prohibition, Kirk & Sweeney Reserve is a marvellous rum distilled in the Dominican Republic. This Reserva expression packs lots of flavour within the snazzy round bottle, with notes of vanilla and dried fruits aplenty.

Its a good all round rum, its an acceptable sipping rum and is versatile enough to use in several cocktails but its wow factor is when made in a Cuba Libre.
Deliciously smooth in a beautiful bottle
The only positive factor about this rum is that it produces no burn when sipping. However, this does not redeem the fact that this rum has no developed taste. This could have been pulled straight from the top layer of heads and poured straight into the bottle as far as I'm aware. It smells like the sweetness could wisp you away to the Caribbean, only to be shot down at the port of flavour. Dissapointed is an understatement
Oh how I DO NOT like this rum! Neat it’s bland, grim from the alcohol burn and has a very weird woody like taste in the finish. Then, to make matters even worse, it doesn’t really improve that much when mixed with Coca-Cola! Nine times out of ten, Coca-Cola will improve any dreadful rum, but I’m sorry to say that this Kirk & Sweeney Reserva is the exception to that rule. Small consolation, but I’ll take it, all is not lost, because at least I can use this as a base rum when I make rum cocktails. Well it’s that, or pour it down the drain.
Very good RUM, delicious as part of any rum based cocktail...get some and see for yourself!
