Kirk & Sweeney 18 Year Old Rum

在禁酒令期間，有一艘專門用來走私加勒比海國家的冧酒到美國的帆船名叫“Kirk & Sweeney”。這艘滿載冧酒船終於在1924年被海岸守衛逮過正著。“Kirk & Sweeney”的冧酒在多明尼加的家庭式蒸餾廠Bermúdez蒸餾，這廠在1857年已經開始運作。

During Prohibition, there was a wooden schooner known for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the U.S; its name was Kirk & Sweeney and was finally seized in 1924 by the Coast Guard with its cargo full of rum. Kirk & Sweeney rum is produced at the Bermúdez Distillery in the Dominican Republic, a family-owned and operated distillery since 1857.

品酒筆記Tasting Notes:

這支濃厚的冧酒有著誘人的香氣，有深刻的雲呢拿味，以及雪莉酒及葡萄乾的氣味。這全都是建基於烘烤蔗糖的香氣之上。十八年來陳年帶來的精華及專家混釀配方令此酒飲起來極有活力。味道更反映出極深層次的雲呢拿味道，緊隨其後更有乾果，玉桂，肉豆蔻的香料味道，同時亦有橡木桶香。柔滑之餘，冧酒的橡木，雪莉酒及葡萄乾的味道發揮得淋漓盡致。

This full-bodied rum delivers an intriguing range of aromas, from the intense vanillas to faint notes of sherry and raisins - all built upon a notable undercurrent of roasted cane sugars. Eighteen years of aging and expert blending come to life with the first taste, revealing a deep vanilla flavor, followed by dried fruits, nutmeg, cinnamon spices and a hint of oak. Immensely smooth all the way through, this rum unwinds with a gently wavering sensation of oak, sherry and raisin.
