Historical Inspiration
Kirk and Sweeney was a renowned wooden schooner, famous for smuggling rum from the Caribbean to the Northeast during Prohibition. Seized off the coast of New York with a massive rum cargo, the schooner inspired this premium rum. Each bottle of Kirk and Sweeney Reserva is a tribute to this storied history, capturing the adventurous spirit of rum running.
Elegant Design
The bottle design is inspired by 18th-century onion bottles, with a raised cork and a silkscreened antique nautical map. The neck features a photo of the schooner and a Coast Guard-styled citation. These elements, along with the ornate logo and nautical brass-like safety seal, evoke the era of Prohibition and the boldness of rum smugglers.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, Kirk and Sweeney Reserva adheres to strict regulations to be called “Dominican Rum”. The process begins with hand-harvested, high-quality sugarcane, fermented and distilled with care. The rum is aged in American and French oak barrels, undergoing various stages of blending and re-barreling. The final blend, a selection of rums aged between 3 and 14 years, is meticulously hand-selected to create a rum well worth pursuing.
