Bundle Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2022 + 2023 + 2024 + 2025

Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve is a limited edition special blended rum of the year 2022. It is a mixture of twenty extremely exclusive molasses rums from Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad from different distilleries.

The rum casks were selected from the deep and long archival cellars located below the Black Tot distillery. The first batch of rums from Guyana consists of a 30-year-old rum that underwent column still distillation and continental maturation.

The second batch comes from the world-famous Barbados, it is a 19-year-old rum from the Mount Gay distillery, a 16-year-old and a 7-year-old from Foursquare. The third batch originates in Jamaica, consisting of 27-year-old from New Yarmouth, 27, 24 and 22-year-old from Clarendon Estate, 23-year-old from Long Pond and the last 22-year-old from an unknown distillery.

The penultimate batch comes from Trinidad with 24, 12, 12 and 10-year-old rums from the TDL distillery, along with one 24-year-old from Caroni. The last batch added is a combination of last year's edition of Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2021 together with the original blend of Royal Navy rums.

After mixing all these unique rums, the rum was bottled with 54.5 % alcohol content. Get ready for an incredible explosion of flavors along with a fantastically fruity aroma created by combining all the exotic rums. The bottle is housed in an exclusive white-gold gift tube with a minimalist design.

Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2024 is one of the most complex and balanced rums to sip with rich layers of tropical fruit, manuka honey and white chocolate.

The rum is aged in American and European oak barrels.

Rediscovering the lost art of blending, rare single-cask rums from Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana and Jamaica are blended with last year's Master Blenders Reserve. As always, original Royal Navy rum is added to preserve the liquid history.

This year Master Blender, Olive Chilton, has included a higher proportion of Barbados rums to highlight the rich tropical fruit in the blend. A full blend breakdown is provided in the reservation, which includes the distillery of origin, years of tropical and continental maturation, and the percentage of each blend component.

The bottles are bottled at 54,5 % alcohol with a 0,7 l capacity and come in creamy white gift cartons.

This edition is part of the annually released Master Blender's Reserve series, which uses the principle of perpetual blend - each new bottle contains part of the previous blend, creating a link between history and development.

The main part of the blend comes from Guyana, enriched with rums from Barbados, Jamaica and rare single cask piece from the legendary Trinidadian Caroni Distillery, now closed. In addition, it also contains a portion from the 50th Anniversary Edition (2020), which matured in ex-sherry casks.

The nose reveals rich notes of dark chocolate, black sweet field mustard and overripe bananas, underpinned by tropical fruit reflections. The palate is a blend of orange juice, anise, dry cinnamon, minty freshness and fennel, with a long finish of grapefruit and acacia honey.

We recommend serving it neat at room temperature to bring out all the layers of fruit, spice and depth of the blend. This is a rum that deserves to be savoured slowly and meditatively – ideal after dinner or as a collector's item for connoisseurs. What's more, it is bottled without chill filtration, with no added sugar or colouring – maximum authenticity.
