Black Tot Finest Caribbean is a blend of honeyed Barbadian rich Guyanese and funky Jamaican rum inspired by a tradition that spanned some 300 years of giving sailors in the Navy a fortifying ration of rum each day. The Royal Navy ended this daily ritual on 31 July 1970 a dark day now known as Black Tot Day.
35% of the blend is five-year-old pot and column still rum from the birthplace of this spirit Barbados which adds tropical fruit vanilla and coconut notes. 60% comes from Guyana providing that dark treacly richness and the remainder comes from Jamaica whose wild yeast dunder and muck pits (not as gross as it sounds) add their tell-tale funk and ginger cake flavours. The result has been described as a “classic British Navy rum style” by Simon Difford of Difford’s Guide for Discerning Drinkers and it deserves a place in any serious rum collection.
