Sipped neat it comes across spicy and roasted, with caramel, coffee and dark chocolate over a Guyana-Jamaica blend. The 57% sits surprisingly well-integrated for the strength. A few tasters wanted more of the Jamaican ester fruit, finding it a touch flat or medicinal — but it also works in a rum old fashioned or Navy negroni.

How does Kill Devil Navy Style taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Spicy, roasted Navy blend at high proof Opinions land all over: some enjoy the coffee-chocolate spice and well-hidden alcohol, others find it flat, dry and short on the Jamaican fruit. Most agree the strength is nicely tamed.

Oh wow, mir gefällt dieser Rum sehr. Die 57% schmeckt man kaum. Er hat eine schöne Karamell- und Kaffeenote. Das trifft bei Rums ja so ziemlich genau meinen Geschmack. Hervorragender, kann ihn nur empfehlen.

Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Verkostet gegen den legendären Navy namens Tiger Shark (RX183), um herausfinden, ob 100 EUR Preisunterschied gerechtfertigt sind. Antwort: Sind sie. Der Kill Devil ist ein merkwürdiger Rum. Wirkt eher wie ein gepimpter, klebriger Kräuterlikör auf Dope. Wo sind die Jamaica-Bestandteile abgeblieben? Wenn der Rum nicht nur aus Guyana und Jamaica, sondern - wie der Tiger Shark - bestünde, wäre es vielleicht halbwegs spannend geworden. So natürlich nicht. Immerhin ist der Alkohol gut integriert.
Review by Gregor
I'm. Smell comes a lot of jamaica (ester pineapple, banana raisins) paired with a strong guyana tone (dark wood, malt and dark chocolate) The taste is the same. I find the alcohol well integrated and the price-performance ratio is really great with this one, especially considering the high alcohol strength
Review by Dr.Django
My first navy rum for a long time. Of course, this one doesn't come close to the outstanding bottlings from Velier. It's not really interesting either. The alcohol is not ideally integrated and the strong sweetness covers up the sharpness. Absolutely OK for the price.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I'd say you get what you pay for with this rum. Kind of a light and fruity navy style rum.
Review by w00tAN
On the nose rather a bit inconspicuous but surprisingly okay in the mouth. Quite spicy and in the finish dark chocolate. Not so bad at all.
Review by Johannes
Not a bad blend either, but not quite coherent. More ester notes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very special style by the mix of Guyana and Jamaica. Personally, too much bitterness, too burnt and medicinal. The ovaries of the Jamaica share are unfortunately barely perceptible.
Review by ChristophFFM
Fruity Jamaican nose. Woody and chocolaty on the palate. The finish is medium and malty. Guyana and Jamaica clearly recognvar. But not my Navy favorite. Then rather Black Tot 2020. But good P/L.

Review by Antoine J
On the nose, the alcohol is well present with woody notes and ripe fruits. The attack is frank and not very surprising, the 57° are well there! A spicy, woody rum, which after aeration develops a vegetable side. A nice roundness despite everything that covers the palate well! For the price, bravo!
Review by Vincent D
Not the best Navy style I've ever tasted, not much to say about it, it's strong, dry and lacks sweetness.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Very light Navy Rum with a mix of Jamaica and Guyana. The alcohol is very well integrated. For the price, I find the rum totally okay. In my opinion, very suitable for beginners.
Review by Michael Turner
Can't really compete directly with Pusser's 50th Anniversary or even just the Gunpowder Proof. A bit flat and not quite harmonious. Either a bit more Jamaican ester or Guyana darkside would have done it good. Alcohol is quite well integrated though. Good to put on the table for high proof beginners or to use in a Rum Mule, Rum Old Fashioned, or Navy Negroni. Again, way better than a Bonpland Forte with its artificially tasting wine aromas.
Review by Michael Schou
03-01-2025 Part of a Navy Tasting. One of the weakest. Missing a bit of everything. Matching the price. What you can expect.
Review by Montana
A heavy spicy aroma, molasses, a little alcoholic, dark chocolate, some ester.The taste is very strong, coffee and dark chocolate, spicy and roasty.A very pleasant Navy Rum.
