Black Tot Finest Carribean 5-Year

I get it. At this price point you could get Hampden 46, El Dorado 15, or something a little higher end. But I really appreciate this as a solid sipping blend. It’s not overly complex or refined. Just solid rum.

The Guyana rum definitely takes the forefront on this one. Sweet chocolate and thick molasses is apparent throughout. But as someone who prefers funky Jamaican rum this is mellowed out by the Barbados and slight Jamaican influence.

Would I buy two of these to make sure I don’t run out? No. But when I finish my current bottle I can see myself bringing something like this on a weekend trip with friends or to the beach.

It’s agreeable, fun, and easy. Enjoy!

I suppose I’m a little disappointed or maybe expected a bit more.
A rum consisting of Jamaican, Guyanese and Bajan rums really should offer more.

Good nose, great colour but slightly lacking in body.

Makes a very good dark & stormy, but that’s not really what I bought it for.

Graham.

Superior aroma, hints of chocolate in the aroma. Great smooth upfront flavour on the palate definitely a full tasting rum that falls off on the back of the tongue on a slightly rough note. Lets you know your drinking rum. A nice sipper that I like cold on the rocks but mixed traditionally as a cuba libra was very enjoyable after that. Will be testing their other offerings when I can find them as it took me two months to find and purchase this one.

Blend of various molasses rums. Could detect smoke and minor funky Jamaican notes on the nose up front. The palate is much milder than the smell, with the guyanese toffee notes and barbadoan smoothness. Short finish. Not an exceptional rum.

The colour and aroma rowers expectations that the taste does not keep. It's all there, it's just not quite smoothed or mellowed out. The wood and smokey taste is over in a flash leaving a sweet aftertaste, but it's all hidden and difficult to taste underneath the harshness. Maybe with time this will be one to watch.

A bit of a sharp taste to start. Good sipping rum.

46,2% abv
Spicy, burnt coffee, chocolate and chilli on the tongue.
Cherries, raspberry and rotten pineapple on the nose

Not bad, but expected more for the reputation and price tag. Definitely needed a couple of ice cubes to mellow it out. Not great, not terrible.🤷‍♂️

Very toned down taste, I don't feel the power I expected and the aftertaste is rather flat.
Taste notes of coconut and espresso

This is a navy rum, hence the name given "tot." i found this rum in an old wine shop in a village and took it home with me. I soon got into the bottle. This rum is quite smooth for a navy rum and at 46.2% I was hoping for a bit more of a kick to it, more strength is definitely needed but it is a nice rum to be sipped on its own.
