KILL DEVIL - Foursquare 2006 - Barbados - 15 years - Single Cask - 60.30%
Edition Spirits is a renowned independent bottling company, founded by brothers Scott and Andrew Laing in Glasgow. Coming from a lineage of experts, they are the sons of Stewart Laing, Director of Hunter Laing and former founder of Douglas Laing. In 2013, Scott and Andrew joined their father at Hunter Laing during its separation from Douglas Laing, thus consolidating their family expertise. Edition Spirits is now an essential branch of Hunter Laing, incorporating the prestigious First Editions series into its portfolio. This company specializes in Blended and Single Malt whiskies but also has privileged access to rare stocks of exceptional aged rums from iconic countries such as Guyana and Jamaica.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, Caribbean inhabitants nicknamed their artisanal rums “Kill Devil,” a term full of history and mystery. While many superstitions have now disappeared, the Caribbean remains the birthplace of rums with rich and exotic profiles. The Kill Devil series celebrates the remarkable quality and aromatic diversity of Caribbean and international rums. Each Single Cask is meticulously selected to be shipped to Scotland where it is traditionally hand-bottled with the utmost care, guaranteeing a unique and authentic tasting experience.
This exceptional rum was distilled in October 2006 at the prestigious Foursquare distillery, located in Barbados. It benefited from an optimal aging of 15 years in casks, allowing the development of its complex and deep aromas. This limited edition counts only 262 bottles, making this vintage a rare treasure for demanding collectors of rum.
