Black Tot : Master Blender's Reserve 2022

The richness and finesse of a unique XO rum

The seafaring story: Black Tot Rum

Out at sea, navigating through the waves of history, lies the tale of Black Tot. Anchored in British naval tradition, the name "Black Tot" echoes the last day the Royal Navy distributed a daily ration of rum to its sailors, an event that took place in 1970. This end of an era led to the birth of a brand, celebrating the heritage of naval rum, while carrying its essence into the present.

Master Blender's Reserve 2022: a modernized legend

The Master Blender's Reserve 2022 blend from Black Tot is the perfect mix of tradition and modernity. Each drop is a tribute to the rums of the past, while being imbued with current production techniques. Its fame stems not only from its historical heritage, but also from its ability to capture the essence of rum in a bottle, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

The process of crafting an exceptional bottle

The choice of raw material is essential to the quality of the rum. Black Tot meticulously selects its sugar canes to guarantee a rich and aromatic juice. After extraction, the juice is fermented to intensify its flavors, then distilled, using a combination of traditional and modern techniques. Aging in oak barrels adds the final touch, infusing this XO rum with subtle and complex nuances.
