Production method
Production is entrusted to facilities in the Dominican Republic; the brand uses rums distilled from molasses/cane sugar derived from sugarcane and produced on multiple-column (continuous) stills in the typical 'spanish' style. Blends are assembled and aged in oak barrels, with blending practices aimed at achieving the final average age of the blend.
Distillation
Distillation on multiple-column (continuous) stills in the Spanish style; high-strength distillate prior to aging.
Ageing
Tropical aging in the Dominican Republic; maturation in oak barrels with assemblies aimed at an average age for the blend; use of ex-bourbon casks and occasionally ex-sherry/other oak casks reported in sources.
Producer history Kirk & Sweeney
The Kirk & Sweeney label was launched as a commercial brand in the early 2010s; it is inspired by the name of a historic schooner known for rum smuggling during Prohibition. The brand is brought to market by 3 Badge Beverage Corporation (originally linked to the 35 Maple Street / The Other Guys label) and is positioned as Dominican aged rums intended for tasting and sipping.
Production philosophy
To present aged Dominican rums with a smooth, approachable character while emphasizing aging and blending: an offering to enjoy neat or in cocktails that evokes the sea and Caribbean tradition.
