3 badge mixology Kirk and Sweeney RESERVA

Today we have a delicious Kirk and Sweeney. A little sweet and sugar on the nose. Also a little sweet on the palate and a hint of vanilla. A little too sweet, of course, but you can still drink it

A simple, solid rum, but unremarkable in every way.

Reasonably sweet, smoked aftertaste.

Very thin and watery and somehow resembles shoe polish... Not my cup of tea!

Next one of the mainstream sample set. Not bad. Not good. Just OK. The nose has some fruit, the tongue is has not much left of it, it is very mild and creamy. A bit on the sweeter side. What to do with it? No idea, a bit weak for mixing and it does not exist as a sipper.

The nose has all the typical "rum" notes; vanilla, caramel and ginger. There's also a pronounced cream note that I get often from column still rums. Some chocolate and apple after further nosing. The palate has strong coffee notes that mix with some chocolate and the usual column still creaminess to give a mocha quality to this rum. Lots of allspice as well. It's a tad synthetic tasting. Not much to the finish. Short and keeps the mocha from the palate. Some vanilla from the nose shows up right at the end. Not a rum I'll be buying again. Too much column still creaminess, the coffee notes are pleasant but I suspect this was taken off the still at an eye watering strength.

A light, gourmet, simplistic Hispanic rum like many others. The initial nose is of chocolatey wood, caramelized to excess, with sweet spices mingling with sweet, caffeinated notes. There's not much to add to this, other than a semblance of dried fruit. On the palate, the thick, syrupy texture confirms the sweetness. Very smooth, the profile returns to spicy wood, caramel, sugar, roasted coffee notes and dried fruit. There's not the slightest hint of aggressiveness. The finish is short and unimaginative, with the same soft, light texture described above. A simple, linear rum, discreet, conventional and flat. Perfect for beginners to the world of spirits.

Nez trop alcoolisé gout caramel et sucre de canne! C’est pas ce que j’aime le plus maivais rapport qualité prix

In the nose caramelized sugar couleur, thin on the palate, initially sweet later toasty and becoming bitter!

W aromatach można doszukać się wanilii, orzechów włoskich, czekolady, soku z trzciny i kwiatów. Na języku rozpoczyna się delikatną słodyczą, śladem kawy i delikatną dębiną. Można doszukać się śladu orzechów włoskich i suszonych owoców. Finisz zaskakująco krótki, pozbawiony pikantności, delikatnie słodki z odrobiną dębiny. Nieco rozczarowuje. Zaletą tego rumu jest jego delikatność. Idealny jako support przed degustacją innych rumów.

On The Rocks: On the nose there is mild marshmellow with mild dark chocolate and mild young woody notes. Taste is smooth with a momentary spice influence that starts sweet and fades into a slight bitterness. The finish is smooth medium length with a brief return of some spice and sweetness. It is starting to show some initial signs of complexity building. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose very mild sweetness and very mild oak. Taste is smooth with mild sweetness but feels off balance. Not overly enjoyable mixed and would be better as a sipper on the rocks. Finish is short with sweetness fading into bitterness.

Assez ennuyeux, je passe mon chemin. Vraiment un basique, aucune surprise, très léger et sucré, aucun final ou presque. Bref next !

Light coconut and some honey. Clear copper pour. Some oak in the finish. A hint of citrus.

Une très beau flacon avec un très beau bouchon et une couleur prometteuse mais à part cela c’est à peu près tout! C’est alcooleux mais sans grande saveur, ça manque cruellement de finesse. Au final j’ai préférer le finir dans le baba au rhum

Equilibrato, note legnose al naso e al palato
