Production Notes
The production of Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve 2024 combines both modern and traditional distilling practices. The rum is a blend of some of the finest, matured rums sourced from distilleries across the Caribbean. Carefully selected for their unique characteristics, they are blended and then aged further to enhance their complexity.
