Retasting 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?
Call 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)
Got a sample of this remarkable rum some months ago from Andy and Angel as a gift. Many thanks for that. I saved it to Black Tot Day and it was well worth waiting for. Black Tot Last Consignment is a piece of liquid history. It was bottled from antique stone flagons containing the last stocks of Royal Navy Rum which laid untouched for over four decades. It’s really an historical blend that never can be recreated. The nose is fruity and nutty with aromas of chocolate, banana, licorice and some sweetness. At the palate it’s fruity, oaky and sweet with flavors of coffee, cacao, leather, tobacco and cassis. The finish is very long, fruity and woody with flavors of leather and tobacco. Overall an excellent and remarkable navy rum that I’m very happy to got the opportunity to taste.
