Black Tot Finest Caribbean (70cl, 46.2%)

Black Tot Finest Caribbean blends four rum traditions into a modern interpretation of a navy blend. Barbados contributes honeyed and tropical fruit notes, Trinidad adds stone fruit and vanilla, Guyana gives body and depth, and Jamaica brings a lightly funky fruitiness. Mature pineapple, vanilla fudge and roasted cinnamon form the characteristic anchors, with coconut, chocolate, tonka bean and liquorice also present. The blend consists of 40% five-year-old Barbados rum, 35% two- to four-year-old Trinidad rum and 5% three-year-old Jamaican rum, with Guyana contributing 10% each of three- to five-year-old and unaged rum. The matured components age fully in a tropical climate, with no added sugar or flavourings and no chill filtration. At 46.2%, it suits both neat drinking and cocktails.
