BLACK TOT RARE 40 YEAR OLD DEMERARA RUM

Black Tot – Last Consignment

A true piece of rum history and one of the most collectible releases of modern times.

What it is
Black Tot Last Consignment is a blend created from the final remaining stocks of British Royal Navy rum, drawn from the original flagons held after the daily naval ration ended on 31 July 1970 (Black Tot Day). Once this was bottled, the liquid was gone forever.

Blend & Style

• A complex blend of historic rums from Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados, and other former British colonies

• Bottled at 54.3% ABV (Navy Strength)

• No additives, no sweetening — pure, uncompromising rum

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark molasses, treacle, leather, old oak, dried figs, clove, and pipe tobacco

• Palate: Exceptionally rich and layered — blackstrap molasses, raisin, espresso, bitter chocolate, spice, and smoky oak

• Finish: Long, dry, and authoritative, with lingering spice, wood, and depth

Why it matters

• Finite and irreplaceable

• Represents the end of a 300-year naval tradition

• Revered by collectors, historians, and serious rum enthusiasts alike

How to serve

• Neat, slowly, in a small tulip glass

• A few drops of water can open aromatics, but it stands proudly on its own

In short
This is not just a rum — it’s liquid history. Powerful, contemplative, and profoundly rare.
