For more than 300 years rum was served to the crews of the Royal-Bitish Marine.
Unofficial since 1655, officially since 1731.
On July 31, 1970 ended this ancient tradition in the Royal British Navy - with 6 glasses to the morning watch (11.00 clock), the last ration of rum was issued on board the ships.
This day went down in the history of British shipping as Black Tot Day.
With the last allotment to the crew, the supplies of the Navy were not exhausted, the last barrels lay for decades in the storage halls of the Royal Navy.
Until the year 2010 - finally the last barrels were tasted and it was decided to pay tribute to this memorable day of the Royal Navy in an exclusive bottling.
So the now 40-year-old rum was filled in exclusive bottles and along with a book that describes the history of this rum and the Navy, a copper-plated measuring cup, as it was then used for the allocation, and an extra cork, the bottle is corked like a wine bottle, put in a beautifully designed walnut wooden box.
These are the last stocks of the British Navy, which were bottled after nearly 40 years as a "Last Consignment".
A piece of maritime history that began in 1635.
