Black Tot Navy Rum 54.3%

Black Tot Navy Rum 54.3%

Region Caribbean

Strength 54.30%

Volume 700ml

With the Royal Navy ending its tradition of a rum ration in 1970, the remaining stockpile of rum for the Navy were filled into stone flaggons and stored away in Government bonded warehouses to remain mostly untouched for almost 40 years. This limited edition release from Elixir Spirits represents the last known liquid from this era, beautifully presented here with accompanying tot cup and book. Rum writer and authority Dave broom describes the rum as being incredibly rich and complex - treacle notes, dark chocolate and super-ripe black fruits, muscovado sugar and walnuts. To taste, thick and sweet with lightly oaky notes, cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) and espresso or cacao. The Black Tot Navy Rum is widely regarded as one of the great rums of the world.

Black Tot Rum 46.2%

Region Caribbean

Strength 46.20%

Volume 700ml

Crafted from a marriage of fruity Barbadian, full-bodied Guyanese and vibrant Jamaican rums, the Black Tot gets its name from the ration of rum issued daily to sailors of the Royal Navy. This is a rich and complex rum, offering flavours of golden syrup, exotic tropical fruits and a leathery hint. A note of coffee and chocolatey mocha comes through on the palate, with butter toffee and oaky spice. A lingering note of roasted bananas comes through on the finish, ending this rich, fruity and slightly funky rum. A fantastic sipping style or one to enjoy as the star ingredient in cocktails.

Volume 700ml

Created to celebrate the history of Naval Rum, this limited edition release is a marriage of the four cornerstones of the Royal Navy Blend: Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad. Selected and carefully blended from some of rum's ancient and ghost distilleries through to modern distillers, all detailed on the back of each bottle, this is inspired by the daily rum ration served to sailors until 31 July 1970.

This is an incredibly complex rum, with an abundance of fresh spicy character - cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and a hint of Jamaican coffee. Fruity notes thread throughout, lime, bananas, grapefruit and raisins, with bitter dark chocolate and soft liquorice. This is a rare opportunity to try a style of rum that is seldom seen today, with just 5,000 bottles available worldwide.

Distilled in 1975 at the closed Uitvlugt distillery in Guyana, this is one of the oldest bottles of rum ever produced.

Flavours of liquorice, star anise and fruity black olives lead the nose, with a heady cigar-smoke and fragrant pine note. Orange and spice combine together, bringing a treacle and cherry flavour on the palate, with dark dried fruit (blackcurrant) and a mixture of sweet and savoury tones that last and linger. A truly remarkable rum from Black Tot, bottled without the addition of colouring, sugar or any chill-filtration.

Penny Blue XO Single Estate Mauritian Rum Batch #007 41.8%

Penny Blue XO Single Estate Mauritian Rum Batch #007 41.8%

Rum masters Doug McIvor and Jean Francois Koenig hand select casks of perfectly mature rum and blend them together to create Penny Blue XO. Penny Blue XO is released in small batches, with variations on the proportions of different casks. Each batch in the series retains a level of continuity, yet is distinct in character; high levels of complexity becoming the hallmark of XO. Penny Blue XO is non chillfiltered and natural in colour.

Full amber gold in colour, the nose is fresh and well balanced with a subtle smoky wood spice and a touch of tobacco. The palae is mouth filling and generous, dominated by sweet fruits, wood spice and cooking spices. A very long finish reminiscent of prunes macerated in well aged rum.
