Black Tot Finest Carribean 5-Year

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!

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

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

...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...

The only thing I remember is a burning aftertaste.

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…

Vůně: Aceton, ananas, vanilka
Chuť: Sladká, aceton, dřevitá, tabák, brandy, štiplavá.
Dochuť: Sladší, dřevitá, tabáková, kratší
Celkově by mohl zážitek z něj, být bohatší.

Poor quality in comparison to similar priced rums. Tastes a bit flat with no warmth.

A blend of navy rum that is deep and complex, with notes of tropical fruit, coffee and chocolate.

Banana greets the nose and is the overwhelming flavour of the palate. The blend of rums in this navy blend gives it complexity, but this is lost in the strong banana and hot finish unfortunately. I've no doubt that the longer aged releases from this make would be superior and I'd be very interested to try them. For this one though, I'd prefer other navy blends. UPDATE: after trying a bottle from a family member, I'm warming to this rum. This bottle is not as banana forward as the sample I tried earlier. It is a fairly light rum, but has some depth to it from the blends which adds complexity. It is more Bajan than I remember my first tasting, and less Jamaican.
