    I really like rum from Guyana and this one is my first Kill Devil. Pretty good rum for the current price tag. A very light nose going into a strong and warm palate. The proof has been well integrated and you only get a hint of it. A fruity and spicy palate going into a long warm finish. Only 299 bottles made so not easy to find. Price to quality is good.
