Bottling Notes

The legend is real. Extremely limited quantities. Black Tot Last Consignment is a piece of liquid history.

Black Tot is the last remaining stock of the original Royal Naval Rum Tot. It was bottled from antique stone flagons containing the last stocks of Royal Navy Rum which laid untouched for over four decades. The naval blend of rums such as this one had continually evolved for over 100 years, with much of it coming from distilleries long since lost. Remarkably, after all these years, Black Tot Last Consignment is still 54.3%, almost exactly the original Navy issuing strength.

This is a historical blend that can never be recreated.

Tasting Notes from the Producer

Nose: Initial treacle notes precede dark chocolate with super-ripe black fruits, muscovado sugar and walnuts. A drop of water releases flavours of black banana, liquorice root and tamarind paste with an exotic edge of balsamic.

Palate: Starts off thick and sweet with a burst of cassis, black coffee and cacao, leading into a finish of scented wood, forest fruits and cigar tobacco.

Finish: Very long with light scented wood, black fruits and cigar tobacco.
