Product History

Kirk & Sweeney Reserva is a rum expression crafted according to Dominican tradition in Santiago de los Caballeros. Carefully aged in American oak barrels, this rum offers a rich and approachable aromatic profile. Its name is a nod to a schooner famous for rum smuggling during Prohibition in the United States, evoking a time of transgression and authenticity. Presented in a simple and elegant decanter, this rum is distinguished by its warm notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, and toasted oak. An excellent compromise between smoothness, finesse, and complexity.

About the House

The Kirk & Sweeney brand was born in the United States, but its soul is Dominican. It takes its name from a sailing ship famous for illegally transporting rum during the Prohibition era. Today, Kirk & Sweeney embodies the elegance and authenticity of Dominican rum. The rums are produced from local molasses distilled using traditional methods in Santiago de los Caballeros, then aged in American white oak barrels that previously contained bourbon. The entire range (Reserva, Gran Reserva, Gran Reserva Superior) is renowned for its roundness, smoothness, and excellent value for money . The design of the decanters is inspired by the classic shape of old-fashioned bottles, offering both a visual and taste experience. Kirk & Sweeney is today an essential reference in the world of smooth and accessible rums, combining artisanal know-how with a contemporary vision of pleasure.
