By the way, for the first time distinguished Master Blender Oliver Chilton has added some Australian rum to the Black Tot composition; could that be Beenleigh? Other than that, it's all a 'British' rum with Guyana, Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. Colour: gold. \u003c\/em\u003e    \u003cem\u003eNose: you would almost believe you could read through this one on the nose, finding the Jamaican(s), Trinidadian, Bajan… It's pretty estery, diesely, with some meatiness (bacon) and quite some liquorice and star anise, then overripe bananas and fermenting pineapples. Touches of olives, which I always find very Jamaican (although I've never checked if they were growing olives in Jamaica) and a handful of raisins. With water: gets drier, on many herbal teas and even more liquorice (sticks). Very fresh allspice mix. Mouth (neat): ultra-classic rich British-style rum, with heavy liquorice, petrol and rotting topical fruits, and a spiciness that may stem from the Australian. Just a very wild and silly guess. With water: very good, a notch lighter perhaps (Barbados?) with those raisins coming to the front and a few violet sweets in the background. But liquorice keeps running the show. \u003c\/em\u003e    \u003cem\u003eFinish: rather long and quite salty. A little more pipe tobacco, molasses, prunes and raisins. Comments: excellently constructed and very 'British Navy' indeed.  Why not also do a French Marine Nationale rhum, one of these days?\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e87 points\u003c\/strong\u003e - whiskyfun.com    \u003cem\u003e...The length on the finish is just right and the flavours linger for long after the liquid has evaporated. As mentioned already this is quite an intense rum so you will probably take time between each sip to savour the finish. I certainly have anyway. As is often the way my previous years bottling is long gone. So I can’t do a head to head comparison. I do know that this is definitely in the same league as the 50th Anniversary and I really have no hesitation in giving a rum as good as this full marks. Another great addition to the Black Tot cannon. Great stuff. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5 stars\u003c\/strong\u003e - thefatrumpirate.com","brand":"Liquorworld","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51289093407037,"sku":null,"price":248.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/5922\/5405\/files\/Black-Tot-Master-Blenders-Reserve-Cask-Strength-2021-Limited-Edition-Rum-700ml.webp?v=1768812093","url":"https:\/\/liquorworld.com.au\/products\/black-tot-master-blenders-reserve-cask-strength-2021-limited-edition-rum-700ml","provider":"Liquor World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
