Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2023
Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2023 - this year, Master Blender, Oliver Chilton, aimed to create a blend that is closer to the original Navy rum with a heavier mouthfeel and rich notes of smoke, espresso, and cocoa.
Rum from Grenada, distilled in 1993, was added to the blend to provide depth and highlight the rich notes of orange oil. Oliver started with last year's blend - Master Blender's Reserve. Then, barrels were selected from Trinidad, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana.
A higher proportion of Guyana was included in this year's blend, with dense sweet wood in this rum helping to restore the unique flavor profiles that were present over half a century ago.
After blending all these unique elements, the rum was bottled at a 54.5% alcohol content. Get ready for an incredible explosion of flavors along with a fantastically fruity aroma. The bottle comes in an exclusive white-gold gift tube with a minimalist design.
