Kill Devil Rum

Small-batch rum, made and poured right in Manteo on Roanoke Island

(130)
Manteo, NC

About

Kill Devil Rum is the tasting room for Outer Banks Distilling, a craft rum producer on Budleigh Street in Manteo, over on Roanoke Island rather than out among the beach towns. It's a small-batch operation — spirits made and poured in the same building — and a useful stop if you want to see a different side of the Outer Banks' economy than surf shops and seafood houses.

Roanoke Island runs on a slower, more historical clock than the barrier-island strip, and this tasting room's schedule reflects that: closed Sunday and Monday, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you're coming over the Washington Baum Bridge from the beach side for the day, it's worth building your visit around those hours rather than assuming beach-town retail schedules apply.

  • Address: 510 Budleigh St, Manteo, NC 27954
  • Phone: (252) 423-3011
  • Hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday

Call ahead or check the distillery's website before visiting, since tasting-room offerings and any tour options can change with the season.

Definitely one of the highlights of my trip. The staff were all phenomenal but special shout out to Jamie for not only sharing her work playlist with me (it absolutely slaps) but also being such an intelligent and articulate light in these wild times we find ourselves living in. The liquor was fantastic. Strong and smooth the way a good rum should be. We appreciated the samples and also the well-crafted cocktails available. I personally liked the honey badger myself, but nobody out of our group of four had a drink they wouldn't order again. If the drinks aren't your jam, the rum balls and candied pecans were sweet little treats I think anybody would enjoy. The location is beautiful - full of old lore and local history. All in all just a really cool place to stop, chill, and maybe learn a little something on your travels.

Awesome place, great cocktails, every rum we tasted was delicious. I can't remember the guys name who was letting us sample the rum, but he was really friendly, informative about all the ship wrecks in the area. Prices were good as well.

The lady working the front (I cannot remember her name) was EXTREMELY polite. Enjoyed talking with her and asking questions about the place. I tried the pecans which were amazing. I’ve heard a few of my coworkers talk about the place and I definitely understand why. Fantastic place with some fantastic workers! Very welcoming
