Black Tot 1975 Rare Old 40 Year Old 44.2% vol. 0,7l

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 .

This rum was distilled in 1975 on the Caribbean island of Guyana and stored for over 40 years in oak barrels.
A pure rum without added sugar.

Aroma: licorice and star anise, with ripe, black olives and heavy cigar smoke, in the background pine and ripe citrus flavors, clearly orange and lime, paired with cinnamon and nutmeg
Taste: rich with a full mouthfeel - thick, dark molasses and olives in combination with cherries and roasted oak - again the smoke, with bittersweet raisins and black currants
Finish: very nice balance between sweet and spicy notes - very long on the finish
