BLACK TOT - Finest Caribbean - 46.20%
Elixir Distillers was founded as a specialist in spirits, under the name Speciality Drinks in 1999, by the visionary brothers Sukhinder and Raj Singh. The same year, they launched the famous online sales site Whisky Exchange, which quickly became an essential reference. In 2017, the company adopted the name Elixir Distillers, thus strengthening its identity in the market for rare and exceptional spirits. Oliver Chilton, a recognized master distiller, now leads all daily strategic decisions, including barrel purchases, rigorous selection, precise blending, and bottling of the various editions, including the exceptional Black Tot.
From the beginnings of the Royal Navy, the transport of alcohol aboard ships was essential for the crew and commercial exchanges. Since seawater was impure, and wine and beer deteriorated quickly while taking up much space, spirits became the best alternative for long voyages. In 1970, the British Parliament voted to permanently end the rum ration due to the then complex technologies implemented in the navy. This historic decision gave rise to a memorable ceremony known as Black Tot Day, celebrated on July 31, 1970, a symbolic date when "the rum died." The last reserves were carefully preserved in "pitchers" for major royal events, such as the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Black Tot Finest Caribbean continues an ancient tradition while embodying excellence and creativity in the art of blending. Master distiller Oliver Chilton developed an exclusive recipe by selecting the finest rums from the prestigious terroirs of Barbados, Guyana, and Jamaica. This unique composition is fully aged under the tropics, giving this blend a rich and complex aromatic profile, combining depth, sweetness, and spicy character. Available at 46.20%, this exceptional rum is an invitation to travel and discover traditional Caribbean craftsmanship.
