Black Tot Master Blenders Reserve 2025

Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2025 Limited Ed. Rum is the latest release in the flagship Master Blender’s Range, containing extremely rare rum parcels from from the now shuttered Caroni Distillery (Trinidad) as well as a touch of the actual original Royal Navy Flagons dating back to circa 1950 – 1970.

Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2025 is a perpetual blend of the world’s finest and rarest rums. This year’s release celebrates the 55th Anniversary of Black Tot Day and includes a special last remaining cask of our inaugural limited edition release, Black Tot 50th Anniversary.

Expect rich notes of black liquorice, dark chocolate, and over-ripe banana on the nose.  On the palate, there are details of Valencia orange juice, anise, and dry cinnamon, dusted with the mint and fennel characteristic of its age – followed by a beautiful grapefruit and acacia honey finish.
