Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2024 - 70cl
For our 2024 release, Master Blender, Oliver Chilton, included a higher percentage of Barbadian rums to accentuate the rich tropical fruits with the blend.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Much more classic and more rummy. Quite oily, with balanced esters and a hint of glue. Some cane juice and brown sugar, warm orange and a bit of pineapple. Then light menthol, liquorice and a whiff of wood smoke, along with lemons and a faint coppery note.
PALATE
The sweet spot between Jamaican funk (esters, glue, a little tar – louder than the nose suggested) with rounder notes (stewed bananas, pineapples on syrup, raisins, hints of cinnamon). Some aniseed and lemon, along with liquorice and a drop of herbal essence.
FINISH
Good length, returning to sour lemon and orange juice, with cane sugar and old wood.
ABV: 54.5% ABV
