Black Tot Rum

Honouring 300 years of naval tradition, Black Tot Finest Caribbean blends tropically matured rums from three powerhouses—Barbados, Guyana and Jamaica—into a modern, no-additives Navy-style rum. Bottled at 46.2% and crafted for both sipping and serious mixing, it marries Barbados elegance, Guyanese depth and Jamaican high-ester vibrancy. A polished, heritage-rich bottle that makes a standout gift.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Rounded and rich with butter toffee and banana cream; tropical fruit builds with cinnamon and allspice to a chocolate–coffee fade. Full-flavoured yet balanced, with a long, satisfying finish.
