Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 Aged Caribbean Rum

Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2024 is best savored neat or with a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its complex flavor profile, though it also shines in spirit-forward rum cocktails that let its character shine through. This robust rum is perfect for sipping on cool autumn evenings, paired with rich desserts like dark chocolate truffles or bread pudding, or alongside savory dishes featuring grilled tropical fruits and spiced meats.

Nose: Grilled pineapple with a hint of chili and lime zest. Fresh coconut meat and creamy strawberry ice cream. Subtle notes of vanilla and oak in the background.

Palate: Rich and buttery mouthfeel. Manuka honey sweetness balanced by dried mango tartness. Toasted vanilla pods and brown sugar. Ripe, baked banana. Mid-palate reveals licorice root and raw cacao nibs.

Finish: Long and warming. Lingering notes of lime leaf and cacao. Faint hints of tropical fruit and oak spice. Subtle sweetness gives way to a dry, slightly tannic conclusion.

Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2024 is a meticulously crafted blend of pot and column still rums from Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana, and Jamaica, including small portions of the 2023 Reserve and original British Royal Navy rum. Master Blender Oliver Chillton combines these diverse rums, aged in American and European oak, to create a complex, high-proof expression that pays homage to naval rum traditions while showcasing the best of Caribbean rum production.

• This limited edition rum contains a small portion of the original British Royal Navy rum, which hasn't been produced since 1970. It's like tasting a piece of maritime history!
• One of the component rums in this blend comes from the legendary Caroni Distillery in Trinidad, which closed its doors in 2003. Caroni rums are incredibly rare and highly sought-after by collectors.
• Despite its rich, complex flavor profile, this rum contains absolutely no added sugar - a rarity in the world of premium rums. All of its sweetness comes naturally from the barrel-aging process.
