Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2023
Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2023 - This year, Master Blender, Oliver Chilton, sought to create a blend that is closer to the original Navy rum with a heavier mouthfeel and rich notes of smoke, espresso and cocoa.
Grenada rum, distilled in 1993, was added to the blend to add depth and bring out the rich orange oil notes. So Oliver started with the rum from the blend - Master Blender's Reserve from last year. Then he selected casks from Trinidad, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana.
A higher proportion of Guyana was included in this year's blend, the dense liquorice in this rum helping to recreate the unique flavour profiles that were evident over half a century ago.
After blending all these unique ingredients, the rum was bottled at 54,5 % alcohol. Get ready for an incredible explosion of flavours along with a fantastically fruity aroma. The bottle comes in an exclusive white and gold gift tube with a minimalist design.
