Today it is known as Rum, but back in the days of the pirates and the sailors
of the 1700's, it was called "Kill Devil". Kill Devil or rum
was a commodity and would be traded for salted fish, pork, beef, timber and
livestock. Kill Devil was very much a part of the "Triangle
Trade" between the colonies, Africa and Barbados during the
era. Afrohead Rum has sort of of its own triangle trade origin. The idea of it was born on Harbour Island in
the Bahamas, created in Trinidad and being sold here in the United States. This is a wonderful rum that has such a
colorful history and a chance to off you a chance to enjoy a really fun
cocktail.
