Rich, luxurious and well balanced blend of the constituent countries iconic flavour profiles. It is dangerously drinkable. There is so much in the way of taste from all the components which could be listed but at the same time I think it is one that is best enjoyed in the round and not overly dissected. It’s just a lovely rum. Personally I would note that I think it is a big improvement on the 2024 which leaned too heavily on a Foursquare profile (which while good, wasn’t what I would look for in a navy/ black tot blended rum), and so it is back to a more balanced blend, or one which uses a greater proportion of Guyana in the mix which, rightly or wrongly, I appreciate more for a navy style rum.

Anyone who swears by the Black Tot 50th Anniversary is more than well served with the 2025 edition. An absolutely positive surprise! The clearly noticeable Caroni components could have played a part in this.
