Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve Rum 2022 Edition
Lot number: 175-03865
Winning bid: £100
The name ‘Black Tot’ stems from July 31st 1970 when a 300-year-old Royal Naval tradition ended at precisely 6 bells in the forenoon watch (11am) when the last rum ration was issued aboard ships of the British Royal Navy – a day to be forever remembered as Black Tot Day.
A new annual release of Black Tot navy rum from Elixir Distillers. The 2021 Master Blender’s Reserve uses a fraction of their 50th anniversary blend (re-casked into sherry butts) combined with rums from Trinidad, Foursquare, Diamond and Hampden distilleries in the Caribbean along with an Austrailian rum from Beenleigh. There’s even a small amount of the original Royal Navy rum blend last issued 50+ years ago.
Bottled: 2022
54.5% ABV / 70cl
