Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve 2022 Edition
Inspired by the flavours of historical rums, the 2022 Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve is made with a blend of rums from Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Guyana, as well as Black Tot's Perpetual Reserve rum. Aromas of melted chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, orange, cinnamon sticks, pineapple juice, blackcurrant and raspberry leaf fill the nose, complemented by notes of milk chocolate-covered raisins, café latte, ripe banana, aniseed, crème caramel with demerara sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon throughout the palate.
-
Nose
Melted chocolate nibs, toasted hazelnuts are offset against warm orange and cinnamon sticks with a background of mixed tropical juice and cassis. Blackcurrant and raspberry leaf start to come to the fore with time in the glass.
-
Palate
Initial flavours of milk chocolate and raisins are complimented with café latte and ripe banana. A touch of aniseed balances against a light hint of tropical fruit and a wonderful rich baked demerara sugar top to a crème caramel.
-
Finish
Cinnamon and nutmeg spice along with chili and cocoa linger for an age.
