The Kill Devil 1999 Sancti Spiritus Cuba rum is a 17-year-old spirit, meticulously distilled in the column at the Sancti Spiritus Distillery in Cuba. This limited edition rum, with only 362 bottles produced, was initially aged in a single cask on-site before being transferred to Scotland for the final phase of its maturation. This unique aging process, combining Cuban and Scottish techniques, results in an unparalleled fusion of flavors and aromas. Bottled by hand without any additives, it truly embodies the philosophy of the Kill Devil brand, which is known for celebrating the diversity and quality of rums from around the world.
The rum offers a delightful balance of roundness and spiciness. At first, it presents itself with a delicate and sensual touch, but soon reveals a more assertive character, with notes of pepper, nutmeg, clove, and chili taking center stage. As the rum evolves, it unveils captivating aromas of leather, smoked meat, and green olives.
This 17-year-old rum boasts a delicate and fruity intensity, with an underlying layer of rich, wild flavors. The initial impression of apricot and peach gives way to more exotic fruits, such as mango and jackfruit, while a hint of fermented leather and tobacco emerges. As the rum aerates, it continues to develop, revealing a complex profile that leans towards the grand aroma category found in some 20th-century Caribbean rums. The final result is a long-lasting finish with a pronounced grand aroma, making it a truly exceptional rum experience.
This particular bottle is a 17-year-old rum from the Sancti Spiritus Distillery, Cuba, distilled in July 1999. It stands as a testament to the quality and diversity of rum from the Caribbean and beyond.

Blindly, I would never have guessed this was from Cuba. It has an absolutely unconventional, super intense note of overripe banana, green fermented grapes, rose, vinegar, a hint of vanilla, and green apple. This could easily be mistaken for a young Jamaican or Fijian rum—truly extraordinary! Overall, it’s a bit too sour and vinegar-heavy for my personal taste, but as a Cuban rum, it’s incredibly unique and something completely different!
