3 badge mixology Kirk and Sweeney GRAN RESERVA Superior
Neat or on the rocks it opens with brown sugar sweetness, a little vanilla and a floral edge, then some toffee and nuttiness on the palate. Easy to drink, but the alcohol shows more than you'd expect from a 25-year Dominican column-still rum, and a few tasters find the finish turns slightly woody and bitter. Several say it goes down better mixed with cola.
The community says- Brown sugar, toffee
- Keep in mind: Noticeable alcohol burn
- Keep in mind: Lacks complexity

On The Rocks: On the nose immediate brown sugar sweetness with moderate floral notes with delay mild alcohol and vanilla undertones. Taste has a strong but brief brown sugar sweetness leading into an initial alcohol hit with spices. Finish is medium length with a mild sweetness fading out. This is an ok supper but not as good as the 23 Year. May need to revisit this one the bottle had had some time to breath. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose smells like Pepsi zero with a bitter brown sugar. Taste is smooth and sweet with a medium length finish with the sweetness fading out. It is good mixed but a shame at this price… but on the rocks it is nothing to write home about. Disappointing overall.

Sorry for this Kirk and Sweeney, coming after the RumX Long Pond, you can only lose :-) I find it has a pretty neutral/alcoholic nose that is still slightly floral. On the palate then brown sugar and some nut.
Review by Portman
A feast for the eyes, but against its (discontinued) 23-year-old brother an explicit downgrade. A good rum, but too expensive because of its lack of mature complexity. Too bad, the "old" 23iger was really very good.
Review by Michael Janek
2.5.2026 Libošovice Vélet XXIX comparison with Gran Reserva Superior both smell pleasant, sweetish, a bit of chocolate and nuts, I can't tell the difference taste mild, smooth, a bit nutty, Superior is a bit sharper at the end and you can feel the barrel wood
Review by aspi 01
From beginning the smell and same the taste starts with fruity orange tones and later there rises caramel undertone. Overall not heavy or sweet rather light fruity taste. But alcohol layer there is quite strong, doesn't feel like well aged. After taste a bit bitter, woody. The bottle is nice looking and levels up the experience. Overall medium quality rum with no surprise, but worth of a try for reasonable price.
Review by MoMcGurk
A nice oaky, sweet flavor, but more burn than I prefer. Mixed goes down nicely.
