    14.09.2019 Super Kill Devil tasting at a local shop, that unfortunately is no more. Notes Very dark in colour. Nose Light wood, sweet, raisin, licorice, plum, berries, light nutts. Palate Round, oily, wood, faint smoke, dried fruit, earthy, licorice, medium spicy, faint rubber, faint chocolate. Finish Long and warm, oily, wood, licorice, raisin, faint smoke, faint chocolate. Extra note Need to rest for a good while.

    Great combination of coffee, roastiness, smoke and a pleasant bitterness. Makes really fun!

    With sufficient (ie looong) time in the Glas this one develops strong notes of beacon and smoke on the nose with some distinct notes you would associate with scotch 🤔

    Tootsie Rolls was an association to this rum that I read on Reddit. My first impression was totally shaped by it, although I do not know the US sweetness of chocolate and caramel at all 🤷♂️ Meanwhile, this is for me the typical Skeldon smell, although it stands out only with this so. Not least because of the higher alcohol content a great, very intense nose. Overall, the rum is extremely toasty, downright burnt. Burnt caramel on the nose, fresh roasted coffee in the mouth and an almost charred bitterness on the finish. This is a bit too much, but still a nice SWR
