Elixir Distillers of London Black Tot Rum Last Consignment
World‑class navy rum: massively complex, perfectly integrated alcohol, dark Demerara depth and endless layers of wood, leather, tobacco and dried fruits. A historic, must‑try experience for serious rum fans.
While it delivers the intensity and punch you would expect from a navy blend, I cannot help but call this elegant. The nose is incredibly complex and ever-evolving while in the glass. This basically delivers all I’d like to see in a rum. Dark notes, wood, fresh and dried fruits, and a lingering smokiness all paint a surprisingly well-balanced picture both on the nose and palate. Oily and rich texture rounds out the experience. Excellent stuff.Read more

Auto-translatedRetasting and I still like it a lot. ------- This is also e very expensive bottle and I'd say the price can be argued, but you can't argue the quality of the rum. The nose just hits you right in the face. Fruit and smoky oak hits you first and then comes the molasses and caramel with a whif of leather. The palate is complex yet wonderfully balanced. Roasted wood and oak hit the palate right away closely followed molasses, vanilla and light chocolate. There is an ever so light bitterness to the palate. The finish is long and surprisingly smooth with oak, vanilla and dried fruit.
A very dark nose for a rum that's almost black and fat in the glass. Black licorice, molasses, prune compote, wet wood and old leather. A very old wooden house in the Amazon rainforest. The palate rises gently, licorice and other aromas rise and fill the mouth. A liquid story with a breathtaking evolution on the palate, it's a little different every time I taste it. A monument! Tasted again and still magnificent! I don't understand how it can be a little different every time I taste it? Oxidation?
Auto-translatedCall me a bloody novice or a mangy nihilist, but the rum just isn't the revelation I was expecting. 🤷♂️ I let it breathe for a long time. The alcohol evaporates and the nose makes me dream of Guyana (where I've never been, of course). A promising start! But the palate is disappointing: woody, quite bitter, relatively sharp, not very complex. Is this supposed to be the famous Last Consignment? 🥴 Well, it doesn't taste too bad, but I've drunk rums that were much more to my liking. I definitely prefer the Rum Tot for my 50th birthday, for example. Well, my personal (relatively disappointing) experience. Make your own and prove me wrong! 😊 Update 2024-07-31: Post-tasting Tätärätä! Reconciliation - this rum is really something special. The olfactory verdict from the first tasting remains, but I now have to raise the palate rating significantly. I simply can't find anything that would make me hesitate, nothing out of round, nothing that stands out. Simply a perfect blend, in which the components from the other Royal Navy countries work so perfectly with the Guyana component that they merge into it and raise it another notch. What more could you want! In short: 10 points more! (crazy)
