Kill Devil Single Cask Panama 10 Year Old Cask Strength Rum (700ml)

Indie whisky bottler, 'Hunter Laing’s' new foray into the rum market offers a range of limited edition single cask rums from across the Caribbean. The collection references an old term for Rum (there were many). By 1650, the British (in Barbados) and French (on Martinique) had established the plantation system. The Caribbean was about to become a massive sugar making factory and distillery. The former waste product known as molasses was now being distilled, but mostly without expertise, and the results were according to one unknown source, "a hot, hellish and terrible liquor". In the English colonies it was called 'Kill Devil' (from its tendency to cause a nasty hangover or for its perceived medicinal power, take your pick) or 'rumbullion' (origins uncertain), which was shortened over the years to 'Rum'.

Panama is home to some seriously good yet too often overlooked rums, including brands like Ron Abuelo. This indie Panama edition was bottled at 60.5% Alc./Vol. so expect an intense rum. Limited to 264 bottles.
