Extremely pleasing navy blend without flaws but also without real highlights. Aromatic predominantly with the Guyana and Barbados component. Due to the slight sweetness relaxed drinkable.

in direct comparison with the MBR 21:In the 21, the Hampden portion is clearly perceptible, in the 22, however, I perceive the Foursquare portion. In addition to the coconut and chocolate, I still have very clear orange peel / tangerine and some allspice. On the palate, the differences are no longer so great. However, the 21er still seems a touch more intense, and has a longer finish. The BT 50 remains the measure of things, then the MBR 21, then the MBR 22.

The 2nd time tasting it tastes me somehow not quite as good. Alcohol seems quite unbalanced and overall he is too smoky and woody for me ... Is okay but no exception rum

Blind in the RumX calendar: had held him for a Spanish-style rum, that does not speak for the rum.nose and palate without noteworthy features, very round and pleasing. In the aftertaste then more spice and barrel influence. Moderate blend, does not really convince me. The blend to the 50th Anniversary I like better.

Now we have 3 great Black Tot releases. The 50th Anniversary, Master Blender 2021 and Master Blender 2022 and I like them all. They're also scored pretty closely to each other by me. The releases are really close to each other so the day decides which one wins. I like the darkness of it with smoky wood and warm palate as well as the long finish. I was very surprised at the final result when sipping this one at the German Rum Fest and I will have a few bottles when accessible.

A harmonious Navy Blend, which leaves beautiful spicy and grassy notes on the nose before giving way to more caramelized, chocolate and caffeinated aromas. Toasted hazelnuts, dried and exotic fruits bring an additional sweetness on an already very sweet profile.In the mouth, the attack is warm, spicy, with a slight bitterness brought by herbs and thyme. The spices dominate the proceedings, while the roasted and caramelized notes accompany a subtle and delicate fruitiness.The finish is unfortunately rather short. We still perceive the herbs, spices and typical notes of Guyana. We feel a strong influence of Demerara (Enmore or Versailles at first sight) which perfumes well the global profile. The alcohol is well integrated. One could criticize a lack of vivacity and length on the finish, but it remains a good Blend for the 2022 edition, very pleasant and accessible, both for the palate and the price.

Please do not misunderstand: This is a good rum. But I am still rather disappointed. I liked both Velier Navy's very very much and I wanted to try this one: After all, it's a very similar price to the Tiger Shark. But it doesn't even come close in taste. Yes, it has Guyana in it. Also some Caroni. But somehow ... it's all too bright for me, and the Barbados component makes it all too boring. Too light, un-dark, un-heavy, not smoky enough. Conclusion: for the money prefer the Tiger Shark. Just my personal taste 😉

#22nd dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, apricot, coconut, orange peal, woody, coffee Mouth: complex, chocolate, caramelized, minty, licorice Finish: mid long, dry, minty, chocolate, mocha, barrel notes, toasted A very enjoyable blend. I’ve missed a bit of the spicyness of a good navy blend. All in all it’s well blended, round, balanced, complex with a lot of fun. For me: 2020>2021>2022 My prediction: This could be from Belize or Foursquare… a bit tricky approx. 50% approx. 20 years of aging

RumXmas 2022, #22, blind: First impression: something Foursquare, Maybe Belize is possible too. This does not get away with being a high quality navy blend. After it was revealed, I poured the 50th anniversary next to it together with the RumClub HQNB. Talk about a difference. The 2022 was by far the least in quality. Not worth it’s price tag, not even close. PS: as a stand alone I would’ve maybe rated it higher, but in comparison with the other two it just falls short

Tasted quickly at the Rhumfest. I preferred the 2021 version than this one. Flavors a little less greedy, more difficult to access. But at the end of the afternoon, it would ask to be tasted again in better conditions

Lots of Barbados with cocoa and coconut notes. Overall, reasonably round and with light sweetness. Likes the nutty note here also quite like. Overall very neat without that certain something. Would he be cheaper I would say a blend for every day 🥃

RumX Advent Calendar 22.12.22: Blind for me not recognizable as Navy Rum, relatively interchangeable profile without corners and edges. The 50th Anniversary is in my view significantly superior.

Ich bin positiv überrascht. Normalerweise sind Rums mit diesem Alkoholgehalt nichts für meinen Einsteigergaumen. Hier ist der Alkohol aber sehr gut eingebunden, überhaupt nicht sprittig. Geschmacklich ist er recht vielseitig: Schoko, Karamell, Banane und andere Früchte mit holziger Note. Mir gefällt er. Leider fehlt mir der Vergleich zu seinen Vorgängern.

Solider Navy Rum. Für mich allerdings bis jetzt der schlechteste Blend von den drei Jahresabfüllungen.

I smell Guayana the most...wherever it is in the blend, its taste overpowers everything else for me...it mixes everything - wood, fruit, a bit of technicality. Nice finish - just the way I like it - after tasting it, the flavor unfolds across the palate and warms you up from the inside - just Navy rum..the perfect companion for long winter evenings..
