Black Tot Royal Navy Rum is a blended, aged rum in that had been stored for 40 years in stone flagons by the British Royal Navy. The rum is part of the last rum ration served to British Royal Navy sailors on July 31, 1970 when the 300-year old tradition of a daily rum ration, or "tot", ended.

(review context)I had a chance to taste this completely blind to what this was - I had no idea of the costs or how rare it is. I was also just starting to get into rum, and I had never been into hard spirits

At first I thought it was a bit harsh, far too smokey and leathery. By the end of my first glass I was warming up to it, so I poured a second. Each sip was such a blend of flavor, the smoke and leather were there but gave way to chocolate and other berries. I was in love! Then liking it I looked it up and felt bad about being so nonchalant about drinking it.

Since that time I've been lucky to try other high end (read $$$) rum and this is still my favorite.

And it was terrific. About half a sip in I realized that it was something unique. Lots of black pepper and some pepper green taste... Like someone dabbed arugala in it? Also lots of brown sugar butter flavor. Terrifically complex. All in all I loved it and would love to get a bottle to savor. But alas... The cost.

It had a sweet smokiness that reminded me of a sweetened Scotch. Given the gunpowder strength it did not have nearly the bite that I expected. Overall it was a decent rum. I would not recommend buying a full bottle as the price to quality ratio just does not make sense. However, if you cam find a 1 to 2 ounce pour at a high end bar, it worth a try for the historical significance of the rum

Thick, sweet, butterscotch and molasses, followed with leathery, cocoa, vanillin, apricot/mint funk. Really fun to try!

Flagon stored in 1970 and sealed by HM Customs β€” this is as close to rum running history as you can get.
A rich rum with a amazing aftertaste. I recommend enjoying on the rocks and exhaling through your nose for a full rich-flavoured experience. If you can, drink sea side to add the smell and sound of this rums intended heritage! (I enjoyed mine at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico :) )

Sweet ginger cake and vanilla on the nose, very pleasant. Tropical fruit and sticky ginger cake palette. Harsh finish at first followed by toffee.

Tastes like nothing else. Leather, toabacco. Like Pussers but harsh and sophisticated

This one is smooth and has quite a bit of character. I had this one neat over dinner at a restaurant and loved it. Never heard of it, and only tried it off of the bartenders recommendation. After sitting for a while, the taste was still the same. I love when I can find a rum I can slowly sip without the flavor profile changing too drastically. The color of this rum is pretty dark, not too sweet and not too potent.

I bougth this bottles from a bar that was shutting down. Honestly they didnt know what they had. Great elixir. Nose full of chocolate, mix spices and dark old fruit. The palate its just an explosion. You can taste the oak and the flavors of the nose. And even tough is strong in alcohol, it goes down quiet easy. Without to much bite.

Its just a must have Navy Rum expresion.
