Despite the 18-year age statement, this drinks light and soft rather than deep and oaky. Expect a lot of vanilla, caramel and toffee with a chocolate-cacao edge, all very round and mild. A few tasters catch glue and solvent on the nose, and several call the finish short. Easy, sweet everyday sipping more than a serious contemplative pour.
The community says- Smooth and round
- Vanilla and caramel
- Keep in mind: Short finish

How does 3 badge mixology Kirk and Sweeney 18 Years taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Soft, sweet vanilla sipper; short finish Most find it a mild, sweet, vanilla-heavy sipper that's easy to drink. The common gripes: a short finish and a slightly artificial edge. Pleasant, not memorable.

Oliver & Oliver? A rum to end the day. A bit more kick, but otherwise perfect

Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This is a sweet rum with a lot of vanilla. A very light rum that's easy to drink. Nothing special about this rum but for the price tag a good option.
Review by Galli33
A good rum for beginners. Fruity, woody, roasted and not too spicy 😰. I like it as a every day sippin rum.
Review by Gregor
Here is a perfect example that longer storage does not always mean better quality. So I like the 18 year old much better than the 23 year old. Simply more coherent and harmonious
Review by Noname971
A rum with many roasted aromas of cocoa, coffee and caramel. Quite smooth and round, but with a too-short finish that leaves you wanting more, and therefore a little disappointed.
Review by Lukas Jäger
A little artificial in the finish, solid rum
Review by Daniel
Quite restrained in the nose, but an atypical, own note. Also discreet in taste, the slight sweetness and cherry note in the finish is pleasantly noticeable.
Review by Portman
Clearly rounder, more complex and more memorable than the negligible 12-year-old. Therefore also better value for money.
Review by Tom K
Quite bland in taste
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose an initial alcoholic hit with some charred oak with a mild caramel. Taste has an initial alcoholic and spice hit evolving into a marshmellow sweetness and then fades into a slight bitterness and mild oak. Finish is long with a mixture of marshmellow and mild spice and bitterness. There is a clear development of complexity that is enjoyable. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose it has very mild sweetness and very mild oak. Taste is smooth but washed out with mild to moderate oak. Finish is very short and average. This rum is better suited for sipping on the rocks as you lose all complexity mixed.
Review by Madame 888
Very mild, round, milky note, vanilla.
Review by Nico NLD
First nose with smells of glue and solvent. Then discreetly, cocoa, coconut, with a toasted note, all very round and soft. A round and supple mouthfeel, rather woody, where the alcohol remains present Short finish

Read full review ›In my opinion, Kirk and Sweeney rums are very well done. The advantage is definitely that they are not sweetened and the year on the bottle truly corresponds to the aging time (it's not a solera method). And even so, they come at a very reasonable price.
