This family has been making \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;premium\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; adult beverages for a LONG time. Interestingly, Sebastiani Winery was the only California winery that \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;didn’t close during prohibition\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. How’d they pulled that off? Anyway, the folks at 3 Badge keep cranking out some of the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;best sourced craft Spirits\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; PERIOD. Currently, they produce a tidy range of Wines, Gins, Whiskies, Tequilas, and Rums and you \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;should try them all\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Rum brand of 3 Badge is the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Kirk \u0026amp; Sweeney\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; lineup.

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\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; top of the line special edition\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, and it shows. It is a blend of old Rums aged in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;American oak\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and delivered at \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;cask strength\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; (65.5% ABV) in a stunning crystal decanter that’s hand etched and gold-filled.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass corner: \u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Kirk and Sweeney was a ship — a schooner used for Rum-running during Prohibition.
