Black Tot Rum, Master Blender's Reserve '2022'

Melted chocolate nibs and roasted hazelnuts are offset against warm orange and cinnamon sticks with a background of mixed tropical juice and cassis. Blackcurrant and raspberry leaf start to come to the fore with time in the glass. Initial flavors of milk chocolate and raisins are complimented with cafe latte and ripe banana. A touch of aniseed balances against a light hint of tropical fruit and a wonderful, rich baked Demerara sugar top to a creme caramel. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice along with chili and cocoa linger for an age.
