In the spirit of the rum-running schooner Kirk and Sweeney, this XO rum is well worth pursuing, aged in American oak and bottled at barrel strength.

The nose dominates with layers of dried fruits and oak with subtle hints of caramel and toffee. Flavors of toasted oak and vanilla delight the senses with hints of raisin and sherry, built upon layers of spice and sweet dried fruits. Long, warm and robust finish through the end.
