Black Tot Caribbean Rum (46.2%) is a masterful and multi-layered modern blend that pays homage to the centuries-old tradition of British Naval rum. Expertly combining unaged and aged rums from three iconic Caribbean origins—the heavy, rich pot-still rums of Guyana, the elegant and tropical rums of Barbados, and the funky, ester-forward pot-still rums of Jamaica—this expression is entirely unadulterated with zero added sugar. Bottled at a precise 46.2% for maximum flavor delivery, it offers a sophisticated, authentic profile that transitions beautifully from a rich sipping rum to an exceptional base for premium cocktails like a Mai Tai or a classic Daiquiri.
