Elixir Distillers of London Black Tot Rum Master Blender’s Reserve 2025

Black Tot Rum Master Blender's Reserve 2025 is Elixir Distillers' multi-origin navy-style blend, drawing on Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana and bottled at 54.4%. The Black Tot name nods to British naval tradition, and this release aims for a rich, dark, classic navy profile with real depth rather than a soft, sweet one.

The nose is woody, with dried fruit, roasted notes and orange, while the palate carries wood, dried fruit, spice and roast. The finish stays woody and warm, with orange and more dried fruit. The blend leans Guyana-forward, with a Demerara-style darkness and a subtle Jamaican thread, and some drinkers pick up a Caroni-like edge adding to the depth. At 54.4% it balances power and drinkability, staying composed and easy to sip for its strength. It suits drinkers who enjoy navy-style blends and want a darker, dried-fruit-driven pour with a Guyana backbone.
