About Kill Devil
 
Whilst the folks at Hunter Laing are specialists in blended and single malt scotch whiskies, over the years they have been fortunate enough to acquire stocks of aged rums, from places such as Guyana and Jamaica and are pleased now to offer some of these to customers on the basis, of course, that they meet the same exacting quality standards required for their bottlings of whisky.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, islanders referred to their locally made distillates as Kill Devil. Whilst today many of the old superstitions have gone, the Caribbean is still the source of many 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, to be carefully and traditionally bottled by hand. The single cask bottlings are presented in gift tubes and the rums are bottled at 46% or at natural cask strength – also referred to as navy strength in the rum world – not chill-filtered and without colouring.
 
From Hunter Laing’s Kill Devil range, distilled at Jamaica Clarendon Distillery and aged 11 years. This single cask rum is one of 270 bottles. Bottled at 64.7%, and always without chill-filtration or additives.
 
Tasting Notes
With its rich, dark color and complex aroma, it offers a sensory experience that is both bold and refined. On the palate, the rum boasts a rich and full-bodied flavor, with notes of tropical fruits, vanilla, and spice, balanced by a hint of smokiness and a subtle oak finish. Its high-strength ABV gives it a powerful kick
