Kill Devil 1998 Single Cask Jamaica 18yo 46% 700ml is a highly regarded rum hailing from the renowned Hampden Estate in Jamaica. Distilled in December 1998 using traditional twin retort pot stills, this rum was bottled in 2016, boasting 18 years of meticulous maturation. With only 381 bottles produced, this is a rare gem for any rum enthusiast. On the nose, you're greeted with a delightful ester potpourri featuring fruits such as banana and pear, alongside intriguing notes of varnish and glue. The aroma is rounded out with wood elements and a sweet tropical fruit bouquet, hinting at the complexity that unfolds within. The palate opens with a captivating alcoholic attack, quickly evolving into strong wood spice and rich fruit notes like pineapple and cherries. The experience continues with a chocolate emergence, followed by a bitter and salty transformation. As the flavors develop, rubber, honey, and a burnt finish come to the fore, creating a multi-layered aromatic journey. The finish is complex and multifaceted, dominated by woody, smoky, and honey notes, interspersed with hints of coffee, bitter undertones, and burnt sugar. Despite some reviews noting a slightly fading finish, the overall profile is highly praised.
