In the 17th and 18th centuries, islanders referred to their locally made distilled spirits as "Kill Devil." Whilst today many of the old superstitions have gone, the Caribbean remains a rich source of exotic rums. The Kill Devil series showcases the quality and diversity of rum from the Caribbean and further afield—single casks are specially selected for shipment to Scotland, where they are carefully and traditionally bottled by hand. This particular bottle is an 8-year-old rum from Diamond Distillery, Guyana, distilled in April 2008 and bottled in 2016. With an ABV of 59.3% and a limited release of just 239 bottles, this rum is a remarkable expression of the craftsmanship and unique terroir of Guyanese rums.
Kill Devil 2008 Single Cask Guyana 8yo 59.3% 700ml is part of the Port Mourant series, known for its "light" style, showcasing the unique characteristics of wooden-still distillates. Despite its young age, this rum offers a complex nose with notes of fruits like pears, apples, and apricots, along with hints of toffee, wood, and simple syrup. The palate follows suit, presenting a continental fruit basket, matcha, toffee, and candied apples, and finishes with a touch of smoke and spice. This rum offers a well-rounded experience, surprising and delighting with its intricate flavor profile.
