Black Tot Finest Caribbean Rum is named after the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;British practice of providing Rum\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; to sailors. Think of it as an official daily dram. And this wasn’t just a random Rum. It was a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;crafted blend\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; of Caribbean Rums from across the British Empire. A few stoneware flagons of this Rum survived in the Navy warehouses. Black Tot founder \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Sukhinder Singh\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; tacked down a few of these flagons from collectors, sampled the contents, and had them scientifically analyzed. He modeled their flagship Black To Rum after the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;original navy dram\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; that conquered the world.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Black Tot Finest Caribbean Rum \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;is built on the 300-year legacy of those old Navy flagons. It is a blend of Caribbean Rums from Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana — all selected to build a complex character.

And it’s bottled at a very proper\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; 46.2%\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; ABV.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Originally, each British sailor was issued a gallon of beer per day. But in 1655 that was changed to a half pint of Rum — the daily tot. Often a squeeze of lime of lemon was added to ward off scurvy. This tradition was carried through all the way until July 31st, 1970 — Black Tot Day when the last official ration was dispensed.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132270436534,"sku":"39535","price":14.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/blacktotfinestcaribbeanrum-700_39535_01_8c8e9b87_21af64cb-f706-45b8-b68e-748786168740.jpg?v=1779126934","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/blacktotfinestcaribbeanrum-700ml-39535","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
