The Kill Devil 2007 Single Cask Barbados 9yo 46% 700ml is a remarkable rum crafted by the renowned Foursquare Distillery and bottled by Kill Devil. This limited edition rum, with only 374 bottles produced, offers a rich and well-balanced flavor profile. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2016, this 9-year-old rum boasts an ABV of 46%, perfectly encapsulated in a 700ml bottle.
Upon the initial sip, the rum presents distinct toasted and oaky notes, complemented by flavors of caramel, vanilla, tobacco, and coconut. These initial impressions are dry and slightly powdery with an enticing blend of sweet spices. As the rum develops, it becomes smoother, and the oak softens, allowing the vanilla to shine more prominently. A hint of orange zest adds a refreshing burst before transitioning to savory nuances of soy sauce and molasses. The balance in this expression from Foursquare is truly exceptional.
On the nose, the rum is initially serious, showcasing typical bourbon barrel oakiness. The profile is richly toasted, with darker notes of coconut and vanilla. Despite its complexity, the rum remains approachable, offering a perfect balance of concentration and freshness. The oak is prominent yet not overpowering, epitomizing a clean and well-defined Barbados style.
As the rum breathes and interacts with air, it becomes even more delicious, emphasizing flavors of coconut, vanilla, and tobacco. The bourbon barrel oak retains its presence, becoming richer and slightly powdery. A touch of orange zest adds a balancing bitterness to the sweetness of the vanilla.
The finish harmonizes all these flavors into a single, satisfying aroma, with a final touch of vanilla custard. Overall, the Kill Devil 2007 Single Cask Barbados 9yo 46% 700ml stands out for its balance and complexity, making it a true pleasure to drink.
