    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise the 2023 Master Blender’s Reserve for its darker, navy-style profile with Guyana influence and well‑integrated 54.5% ABV. Expect chocolate, dried fruit and caramel on the nose, leading to dark chocolate, raisin, wood and a touch of leather. Enjoyed neat—some even in a Cuba Libre. With 87 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular pick; a few note slight bitterness or less complexity than 2021.

    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!
