Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 Aged Caribbean Rum

Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 continues the brand's tradition of crafting complex Caribbean rums, paying homage to the daily rum ration once issued to sailors in the British Royal Navy which ended on July 31st, 1970, a day known as Black Tot Day. While the brand itself is a modern revival, each annual Master Blender's Reserve is a new, limited-edition creation. For the 2024 edition, Black Tot's Master Blender, Oliver Chilton, has artfully combined rums from Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica, including some aged in sherry casks, to create a distinctive and layered profile. This annual release is known for its intricate blends, showcasing the versatility and depth of Caribbean craft spirits and offering a contemporary nod to a rich naval history, making it a standout addition to any home bar for crafting exceptional cocktail ingredients or sipping neat.

Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 brings a vibrant, fruit-forward character to the party, think grilled pineapple and lime with a backbone of dark chocolate and a whisper of licorice. It's a complex sipper that also shines in spirit-forward cocktails where its Barbadian rum focus can really sing, especially with those rich tropical fruit notes and a touch of manuka honey. Consider it for a sophisticated Daiquiri or an Old Fashioned that desires a bit more personality.

Prepare for an inviting journey with Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024. Aromas of grilled pineapple, coconut, and a hint of chili greet you. The palate is rich and buttery, offering Manuka honey, dried mango, and toasted vanilla. It finishes long and warm, with lingering lime leaf, cacao, and a touch of tropical fruit.
