Kill Devil (Hunter Laing) 2005 Jamaica 10-Year

Has a great funk in it not so overwhelmingly rough but has a great punch. Great stuff from Hunter Laing

This is beautiful with the funk with full strength cask taste wow ...
Taste of wood , toffee and slight apple at the end bizarly ... Burns the Bose but Tastes delicious..add a drop of water to dial it down and then the pepper finishes come through

Classic hampden Estate rum. In the mouth, we find the same aromas with fruits always present but it is not too expressive, it lacks strength. Good Aftertaste.

I was very interesting in trying one of the Kill Devil limited rums. This one exhibits 46% of alcohol, which I find a drawback, the rum being to harsh compared to my favourite Appleton 12yo.

Nice straw color. The Jamaican markers are present as the varnish with also fruity and floral notes. Mainly white fruits like pear. In the mouth, we find the same aromas with fruits always present but it is not too expressive, it lacks strength. The end is short. It does not hold the distance in front of a Hampden of 17 years or 24 years but it is a beautiful rum to discover the Jamaica. Real rate = 7,5

Au premier abord l’odeur d’alcool est très présente, mais après avoir laissé respirer le rhum dans le verre la banane et la poire dominent et vous envoutent, on n’a plus envie de sortir le nez du verre. C’est très prometteur et c’est bien ça le défaut de ce rhum, car une fois en bouche il n’y a pas d’explosion de saveurs, on ne retrouve pas les sensations offerte par le nez même si les fruits et les épices sont bien la. L’attaque est assez douce et le rhum descend tout seul dans la gorge mais malheureusement il manque de complexité pour être excellent.
