Black Tot Finest Carribean 5-Year

Smells of warm carmel with a hint of pepper. Some fresh fruit on the nose as well.

It's a weird thing, to taste the upfront Demerara rum with some Barbados coming in ending with Jamaican funk. Quite the experience taste-wise. It has definitely peeked my interest into the navy style of rum and I need more experience. I have no benchmark for this style.

Comparing it to other styles though, for me it is a 7. Interesting enough to get a full sized bottle, but nothing to write home about.

This navy variation has fine price. For this money you have full, heavy taste with strong spicy. The rum is more sweet than I like but there is no added sugar, so I say yes, it is good.

After trying the Black Tot 50th Anniversary (so good) and the Master Blander (good) I had to try the younger brother. Definitely not in the same league as the other two but still OK to sip. Will stick to the 50th…

The only thing I remember is a burning aftertaste.

...but did not enjoy. It is a 5 as it is easily drinlable in a bind, but does not reach the rating of being good or evwn tasty. Sadly, would not buy again...

Decent rum, but I would always pick El Dorado 12yo over this one, its better and even cheaper.

Bit sharp. And aggressive. Sweetish. Good one. Can recommend

Last time I had this it was terrible and rated it a 3. However, I went back due to the limits of my one door store and here I am. Definitely better than last time but way overpriced. I notice others stating too much Jamaica in it but I didn't find that. I thought the blending was on target for a navy rum. I favor most Guyanese rums and it's definitely in there. Maybe I notice that because of my palate preferring Guyanese rum but I now like this rum but not the price. Might go back but seeing I'm exploring the world of rum it might take a while. Yes, I believe that this should be part of every sailors stores so give it a try! update, they have a master's series that intrigues me but at $180 unfortunately I will never experience this series. No way is it going to be at least 3x better. NO WAY! Will never believe that 3x the price is worthy. I'm starting to think this is another cash grab company!

Great molasses aroma and little pepperiness. In the mouth i get the caramel sweet notes and some slight kick. The finish is not so long, but is good. Great navy style rum. Definitely will buy again.

A very pleasant mix of Jamaica, Barbados and Guyana rum. Each of them is present, but none predominant. Nicely balanced sipping rum.
