Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve Rum 2025 70 cl. 54,5%
Blended Premium Aged Rum
All hands on deck! Rum in sight!
The Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2025 has just appeared on the horizon, and it’s a real beauty this year. As you may know, a new blend is released annually, and this time Oliver Chillton, the esteemed Master Blender, has outdone himself!
The blend consists of 40% Guyana rum (up to 21 years old), 24% Barbados rum, 13% Jamaica, 4% Trinidad, and 19% from Black Tot’s “perpetual reserve”, which includes rum from the original British Navy fleets. The 4% from Trinidad may seem small, but it makes a significant impact – Black Tot reveals it comes from a rare barrel from a closed distillery. Most rum enthusiasts know what that means… yes, it’s Caroni!
As usual, no sugar or coloring is added, and the alcohol content is a potent 54.5% ABV.
Color: Dark amber
Aroma: A kaleidoscopic nose where licorice and dark chocolate merge with molasses, tropical fruits, and grapefruit
Tasting Notes: Rich and intense rum with dark notes of warm spices, molasses, melted butter, and candied citrus
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy neat, optionally with a few drops of water
The Company – Elixir Distillers:
Elixir Distillers was founded by brothers Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh, who also run The Whisky Exchange. They bring extensive experience from nearly every corner of the spirits world, merging traditional craftsmanship with an insatiable drive for experimentation and innovation. While the main focus is on Scotch whisky, Japanese, Irish, and American whiskey, as well as tequila and rum, also feature in Elixir Distillers’ beautifully designed bottles. Among their notable brands are Elements of Islay, Port Askaig, Single Malts of Scotland, and Black Tot.
Originally called Specialty Drinks, the company rebranded to Elixir Distillers in 2017. But if the brothers blend and bottle whisky, where does the “Distillers” part come in? In 2018, they announced plans to build a new distillery on Islay’s south coast. The future looks bright for fans of smoke and peat!
