Kirk and Sweeney Burning Mast Dominican Rum Tasting Notes

Nose: Offers a captivating blend of honeysuckle, caramel, and vanilla, layered with hints of habanero spice and cinnamon. The sweet notes of the rum are beautifully balanced by the warm, spicy undertones.

Palate: The initial sip is bold and spicy, with the upfront heat of freshly sliced chili peppers leading the way. This intense spice is softened by notes of cashews, creating a complex and intriguing flavor experience that evolves with each sip.

Finish: The finish is a harmonious blend of hot and sweet flavors, with the habanero spice building through the mid-palate and spreading throughout the mouth. The heat is bold yet balanced, leaving a lingering impression of red-hot spice tempered by the rum's natural sweetness.
