The Kill Devil 2004 Single Cask Guyana 12yo 63.9% 700ml is an exquisite rum hailing from the Demerara region of Guyana, meticulously crafted at the renowned Diamond Distillery. Distilled in 2004 using one of the world's oldest alambics, the Versailles still, this rum boasts a remarkable heritage and a unique production process. Aged for 12 years and bottled in 2016, only 247 bottles of this rare gem were produced, making it a coveted addition to any connoisseur's collection.
On the nose, the rum presents a powerful and dry aroma with initial notes of burnt metal, oil, and fruits, gradually revealing a softer fragrance of tropical fruits, almond paste, and stone fruit. With aeration, the alcohol mellows, unveiling a complex bouquet of fresh cane, lime zest, fine spices, and delicate pepper, followed by ripe pears and overripe apples, culminating in a burst of fruitiness.
The palate is warm and enveloping, dominated by an abundance of tropical fruits and a round, comfortable texture. As the rum opens up, its true character emerges, with spices, particularly cloves, seizing the palate, followed by darker notes of prunes, licorice, and quince. The finish is a harmonious balance between sweet and savory, featuring notes of dried fruits, raisins, and a hint of powdered cannon, leaving a strong metallic and leather impression.
