Our process starts with unique fermentations, where we expertly combine molasses to develop distinctive flavors. We push the boundaries of rum-making, experimenting with a wide range of flavor profiles through barrel aging, while honoring the impact of each aging environment on our spirits.

kill devil silver
Silver or white rum is rum in it’s purest form. A spirit that highlights its raw ingredients, unaltered by aging or spices, to reveal a spectrum of flavors. The molasses base of the rum comes through with hints of toasted marshmallow, crème brûlée, and vanilla with a smooth clean finish. A versatile mixing rum that also stands up well on its own.
PECAN HONEY RUM
Inspired by large pecan trees that tower over our distillery, Kill Devil Pecan Rum gives us the chance to utilize local produce. The honey used is sourced from our neighboring town of Wanchese while the pecans are from an orchard just across the Croatan sound in Manns Harbor. This rum has butterscotch in the nose and starts out with nutty pecan flavors giving way to a subtle honey finish that gives it body and a creamy mouthfeel. A rather pleasant byproduct of our production is a large quantity of rum soaked pecans. We have now begun to candy these pecans!
