Tasting Notes

Upon nosing, the Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 releases an intricate symphony of aromas. A dizzying bouquet of candied citrus, warm baking spices and caramelised tropical fruits announce themselves. The indulgent scent of dark chocolate and a faint whiff of sea-salt enhances its complexity.

The initial mouthfeel is a smooth and full-bodied experience of matured Caribbean spices with a hint of honeyed sweetness flirtatiously playing around. The mid-palate is coated with waves of tropical fruit flavours, melding with an undertone of toasted oak.

The aftertaste is a prolonged encounter with the warmth of lightly charred oak, sea-salt caramel and a lingering essence of dried fruits.

Suggested Serves

– Black Tot Old Fashioned: With its matured rum base, this twist on an old-fashioned helps to enhance the depth of citrus and spice in the Black Tot.

– Caribbean Daiquiri: The sugary, citrusy base of this cocktail allows the rum to reveal its fruity undertones exactly, tying beautifully with a tropical essence.

– Black Tot Hot Toddy: The warmth of the toddy complements the rum’s dark chocolate and spice notes, providing a comforting concoction.

Production Notes

The production of Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 combines both modern and traditional distilling practices. The rum is a blend of some of the finest, matured rums sourced from distilleries across the Caribbean. Carefully selected for their unique characteristics, they are blended and then aged further to enhance their complexity.

The rum undergoes aging in ex-Bourbon barrels, which lends it an additional layer of dark, sweet and oaky flavours. Then, an extended marrying period allows the diverse elements to integrate smoothly, resulting in a harmonious final product.
