Keepers of Black Tot navy rum, from Caribbean blends to 40-year Demerara

Elixir Distillers is a London house best known for the Black Tot line — the brand built around the Royal Navy rum tradition and, famously, the Last Consignment stock bottled from the barrels left when the daily tot ended in 1970. Their bread and butter is blended navy-style rum: Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad marques married into something rich and drinkable, with Guyanese Port Mourant often setting the tone.

The community rates the range around 8.2/10 across more than 1,600 reviews. People value the transparency — the Master Blender’s Reserve bottles list which rums and what proportions went in. The reliable favorites are the yearly MBR releases and the two historic pieces; the sweeter solera and lighter core blends draw more mixed opinions.
