Black Tot Rum

Black Tot Finest Caribbean is a modern take on traditional British naval rum, named after Black Tot Day, 31 July 1970, when the Royal Navy issued its final daily rum ration. Created by Elixir Distillers, it blends rums from the heartlands of the old Navy blend, including Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica, with Trinidad added in the latest blend. It is bottled at 46.2% with no added sugar or flavourings and without chill filtration.

The natural sweetness comes from the rums themselves: honeyed Barbados, rich Guyana and funky Jamaica. Thick and fruity on the nose with pineapple, banana and golden syrup, it is rounded and rich on the palate with butter toffee, caramel, baking spice, tropical fruit, coffee and dark chocolate, before roasted bananas and a tingle of anise on the finish. Excellent neat or in a classic rum cocktail.
