Fuel your intrigue for legendary tales with the soon-to-be legendary rum produced at Outer Banks Distilling! "Kill Devil Rum" is the pioneer product line at this distillery located in historic Manteo, NC., appropriately named after the legendary barrels of shipwreck-salvaged rum so strong it could kill the devil! A silver rum was first introduced last year and quickly followed by a version flavored with local pecans and honey. While you won't be getting your hands on any of the small-batch spiced rum just yet, you can, fortunately, order both the silver rum and honey pecan rum online. Prices vary. You must be 21+ to order here at Schneider's of Capitol Hill.For the New Home
