Elixir Distillers of London Black Tot Rum Master Blender’s Reserve 2023

Chocolate and dried fruit upfront, balanced by subtle wood.

Aromas of chocolate, dried fruit, and wood set the stage for a palate where leather and raisin shine. The RumX community finds it complex and balanced, though some note a slight bitterness—an appealing navy blend for those who enjoy rich, dark profiles.

    Complex navy blend character

    Rich chocolate and dried fruit aromas lead the way in Black Tot Rum Master Blender’s Reserve 2023, interwoven with layered woody and leather notes on the palate. The community praises its complexity, integration of Guyana influence, and balance of dark fruit and spice, though some mention a touch of bitterness and less complexity than previous editions. For those seeking a robust, navy-style blend with depth, this is well worth discovering.

     The 2023 Master Blender’s Reserve from Black Tot is very complex and aromatic. It’s a blend of rum from Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica and a very old one from Grenada. The nose is spicy and fruity with aromas of tar, black pepper, cocoa, pears, figs peaches and some licorice. At the palate there are flavors of cocoa, dark chocolate, tar, tobacco, licorice, smoke and dried fruit. The finish is rather long with the flavors from the palate remaining.

     Another step backwards compared to the 2021 bottling. A little better than the 2022, but unfortunately not outstanding either. Edit: Tasted again at leisure. Quite pleasant neat. Now also tried as a mixer in the CubaLibre, where I find it even better. Franconian Tasting Gang goes Tiki Better than the 2022

     A very nice Navy style and not much more. I really enjoyed the original 50th anniversary blend (which I still have 2 bottles of 😀) and my memory tells me this doesn't quite come up to that standard. Still a good rum though, quite woody, slightly bitter, with spices and dark chocolates. Shortish finish

     Delicious Black ToT. In direct conparsion to the 2002 and the 2004 version, this one falls short! This one lacks in complexity and it‘s more on the „boring“ (unspectacular, seems to be just another Black ToT…). The alcohol is integrated well!
