The Kill Devil 2005 Single Cask Guyana 10yo rum is a remarkable spirit with a rich and dynamic flavor profile. Distilled in May 2005 at the renowned Diamond Distillery in Guyana, this rum was aged for a decade before being bottled in 2015 by the esteemed Kill Devil brand. This single cask release, limited to only 310 bottles, was bottled without any cold filtration or added coloring, ensuring that the spirit retains its authentic character and depth.
The nose of this rum is immediately striking, with intoxicating notes of banana, cake dough, almond, rubber ball, and dried fruit. The aromas are complemented by hints of candied and fermented grapes, reminiscent of cognac, as well as marzipan and a touch of leather. The powerful yet balanced aroma is both creamy and enveloping, enhanced by its lack of a burning sensation. Aeration reveals even more complexity, with spices and ripe grape juice emerging to complement the initial fruit flavors.
On the palate, this rum continues to impress. A lively entry gives way to a soft, creamy center, where plum, prune, and candied fruits provide a rich and satisfying sweetness. A metallic and burnt quality adds depth and complexity, while roasted hazelnuts and a hint of green olive emerge towards the end of the tasting, adding a savory element that balances the sweetness of the fruit. The overall experience is both soft and dry, with notes of cognac and Sauternes adding an extra layer of elegance.
The finish is warm and long-lasting, featuring lingering notes of molasses, liquorice, fermented grapes, and banana. This complexity, balance, and clarity in the composition of the aromatic bouquet make this rum a standout spirit that is sure to delight even the most discerning of palates. Its intricate flavor profile, rich aroma, and smooth finish make it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
