This is a fun new rum from Black Tot, matured in a Solera System made from 70 year old Oloroso and PX Sherry casks (more details below). It is created from rums from Guyana, Barbados and Jamaica, aged tropically for at least 5 years, and at least 5 more in Europe. 46.2% 88pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"Black Tot Historic Solera is a decadent and elegant rum which has been aged in oak barrels that have been seasoned with Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherries, before being further aged through a traditional 3-tier Solera process. Solera’s magic lies in blending rums of various ages. The younger rum interacts with the concentrated essence of older expressions, acquiring richer characteristics with each step. This continuous marriage between these various ageing rums results in a rum showcasing remarkable depth and character."
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: The nose is a decadent blend of figs, plums, chocolate and fudge, with warming spices emerging.
Palate: On the palate, rich, velvety textures embrace flavours of dark chocolate and a subtle coffee undertone.
Finish: A hint of citrus zest brightens the experience alongside the ripe tropical fruit notes, leading to a satisfyingly dry finish with lingering spice and dried fruit.

"This is ‘aged in a sherry solera system’. It appears there are three criaderas. Colour: copper amber. Nose: I may shock a few friends, but I believe this is exactly how brandies de Jerez should express themselves. The blend clearly delivers notes of sulphur (stone), tar, and fresh rubber, yet I find it works perfectly. Also prunes, mussels, seawater, and fuel oil… It’s rather unusual, but I love it. Mouth: it’s almost like chewing on a new rubber boot, with pepper, tobacco, PX, and slightly acidic coffee—which is delightful. Finish: long, peppery, fairly smoky, with hints of tomato leaf and cassis buds. Prunes. Comments: utterly improbable, yet perfectly excellent. Boldly done, rather love it… SGP:562 - 88 points."

The 2024 edition of the Black Tot Master Blender's Reserve is Barbados (60%) heavy, with a high proportion of rums from Trinidad (25%) too. The full blend can be found below! 54.5%
Producer Description
"This year our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton, has included a higher percentage of Barbadian rums to accentuate the rich tropical fruits in the blend. As always, he has looked to put his own spin on the blend, this year including a 1997 rum from Trinidad’s lost distillery Caroni. Re-imagining the lost art of naval perpetual blending; he began with rum drawn from Master Blender’s Reserve from last year. Casks were then selected from Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana and Jamaica. These four unique country blends were then married together with our perpetual reserve, layered and perfectly balanced, to bring you Master Blender’s Reserve 2024. As always, flagons of original Royal Navy Rum are added to the blend to keep the liquid history alive."

From The Producer
"Black Tot Day 2022 marks the third iteration of our annual Master Blender’s Reserve, an ever-evolving perpetual blend crafted by our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton.
For this year’s blend, we drew inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavour profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, liquorice, and spice. These flavours were mapped out and became our guide."
