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.
Honeycomb, sultanas, milk chocolate, quince, homemade sugar syrup, five spice.

This is a very good tasty Rum indeed, and very good value. I really enjoyed, and am surprised at some of the poor ratings on here, (is there a conspiracy ?) Superb as a sipping Rum, or as a base to cocktails.
A smooth and clean rum, but lacking in depth of flavour. You get some tastes of vanilla and molasses but I would expect more from this rum. Would make a good mixer but not a great one on its own I'm afraid.
Beautiful bottle. Decent rum. Hits very sweet at the beginning and tapers off from there. Leaves a very slight aftertaste of banana that's not disagreeable. Look for it while it's on offer and it's well worth a try.
How strange some of the reviews here are.......I was given a bottle of this rum for my birthday and what a wonderful surprise. I've been drinking rum for over 40 years and find this to be one of the better sipping rums, smooth flavoursome and without the devastation of throat burn that the rougher end of the bunch induce, it is after all meant to be a pleasure and not an endurance. Along with this I also received a 25 year MG and this rum knocked spots off it easily! Certainly in one of my top 10 if not top 5 rums ......very nice!
Very disappointing, there is no depth to it.
