About

A wonderful, exquisitely-aged Rum from the Dominican Republic made from blackstrap molasses and delivered at cask strength in a gorgeous crystal presentation decanter.

At the heart 3 Badge Beverage Corp. is August Sebastiani — forth generation grandson of Samuele Sebastiani, founder of Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma. This family has been making premium adult beverages for a LONG time. Interestingly, Sebastiani Winery was the only California winery that didn’t close during prohibition. How’d they pulled that off? Anyway, the folks at 3 Badge keep cranking out some of the best sourced craft Spirits PERIOD. Currently, they produce a tidy range of Wines, Gins, Whiskies, Tequilas, and Rums and you should try them all.

The Rum brand of 3 Badge is the Kirk & Sweeney lineup. All of them are created in Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. Kirk & Sweeney XO is special. It’s hand crafted from blackstrap molasses. The core lineup of Kirk and Sweeney Rums is available in twelve, eighteen, and twenty-three year-old versions — all of them exceptional and a great value. The XO is the top of the line special edition, and it shows. It is a blend of old Rums aged in American oak and delivered at cask strength (65.5% ABV) in a stunning crystal decanter that’s hand etched and gold-filled.

Smartass corner:
The Kirk and Sweeney was a ship — a schooner used for Rum-running during Prohibition. In 1924 it was seized by federal agents off the coast of New York with a heavy load of contraband Rum sitting on deck. Were it not so heavily loaded the speedy ship might have slipped away.

What does Kirk and Sweeney XO Rum taste like?

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Kirk and Sweeney XO Rum and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.

We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Rum used to be accepted as a form of currency in Europe and Australia, a practice we should probably bring back into fashion.
