Review by DomM
While it delivers the intensity and punch you would expect from a navy blend, I cannot help but call this elegant. The nose is incredibly complex and ever-evolving while in the glass. This basically delivers all I’d like to see in a rum. Dark notes, wood, fresh and dried fruits, and a lingering smokiness all paint a surprisingly well-balanced picture both on the nose and palate. Oily and rich texture rounds out the experience. Excellent stuff.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Retasting and I still like it a lot. ------- This is also e very expensive bottle and I'd say the price can be argued, but you can't argue the quality of the rum. The nose just hits you right in the face. Fruit and smoky oak hits you first and then comes the molasses and caramel with a whif of leather. The palate is complex yet wonderfully balanced. Roasted wood and oak hit the palate right away closely followed molasses, vanilla and light chocolate. There is an ever so light bitterness to the palate. The finish is long and surprisingly smooth with oak, vanilla and dried fruit.
Review by cigares
A very dark nose for a rum that's almost black and fat in the glass. Black licorice, molasses, prune compote, wet wood and old leather. A very old wooden house in the Amazon rainforest. The palate rises gently, licorice and other aromas rise and fill the mouth. A liquid story with a breathtaking evolution on the palate, it's a little different every time I taste it. A monument! Tasted again and still magnificent! I don't understand how it can be a little different every time I taste it? Oxidation?
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Call me a bloody novice or a mangy nihilist, but the rum just isn't the revelation I was expecting. 🤷♂️ I let it breathe for a long time. The alcohol evaporates and the nose makes me dream of Guyana (where I've never been, of course). A promising start! But the palate is disappointing: woody, quite bitter, relatively sharp, not very complex. Is this supposed to be the famous Last Consignment? 🥴 Well, it doesn't taste too bad, but I've drunk rums that were much more to my liking. I definitely prefer the Rum Tot for my 50th birthday, for example. Well, my personal (relatively disappointing) experience. Make your own and prove me wrong! 😊 Update 2024-07-31: Post-tasting Tätärätä! Reconciliation - this rum is really something special. The olfactory verdict from the first tasting remains, but I now have to raise the palate rating significantly. I simply can't find anything that would make me hesitate, nothing out of round, nothing that stands out. Simply a perfect blend, in which the components from the other Royal Navy countries work so perfectly with the Guyana component that they merge into it and raise it another notch. What more could you want! In short: 10 points more! (crazy)
Review by Stefan Persson
Got a sample of this remarkable rum some months ago from Andy and Angel as a gift. Many thanks for that. I saved it to Black Tot Day and it was well worth waiting for. Black Tot Last Consignment is a piece of liquid history. It was bottled from antique stone flagons containing the last stocks of Royal Navy Rum which laid untouched for over four decades. It’s really an historical blend that never can be recreated. The nose is fruity and nutty with aromas of chocolate, banana, licorice and some sweetness. At the palate it’s fruity, oaky and sweet with flavors of coffee, cacao, leather, tobacco and cassis. The finish is very long, fruity and woody with flavors of leather and tobacco. Overall an excellent and remarkable navy rum that I’m very happy to got the opportunity to taste.
Review by Oliver
The Grand Lady of Navy Rums. Insanely rusty, dark and intense.alcohol perfectly integrated.
Review by Aussierumfan
Literally drinking liquid history here, Very expensive but wow do I love it. So dark and heavy! Can definitly taste a lot of demerara in there, the nose is wonderful - musty, raisins, licorice and wood. On the palate the alcahol is wonderfully integrated with spices, licorice, molasses, chocolate, caramel, old wood and leather. Just a wonderful rum, it's a privilege to taste it. I first tasted this rum about 2 years ago thanks to a sample from MOM. I am leaving my initial score untouched.
Review by Rodolphe
A great demerara rum. Dark and intense. Everything I love, candied prunes, burnt caramel, licorice, wood... Top top top. Special thanks to Cigares for introducing me to this rum!
Review by SaibotZtar
Dream of complexity...a privilege to be able to taste it.
Review by Mirco
Very nice navy with almost exclusively dark notes, fruit and sweetness are not neglected either. A good portion of smoke is nicely integrated. This rum makes you feel like a pirate. Very nice! Thanks @Cigars for the sample.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
very solid
Review by Lot-NAS
Liquid history in a Glass. Or better in the accompanying Gill (1/2). The nose starts off bursting with spices, wood and is more in the Guyanese side. In Addition there are some subtle notes of tar and metal. On the palate the spices also dominate whilst a subtle sweetness (malt and molasses) is adding texture. There are some dried plums and raisins. The finish is the same and really long, getting a bit earthy in the end. What a nice drop, I will leave it here for the moment and come back in some time for a second review.

Komplexer Rum mit viel Holz 🪵
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is dense and intense with an enormous number of layers. Hints of tobacco, molasses, licorice, dark spices and a hint of coffee in the aftertaste.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Also meine Erwartungen an diesen Rum waren wirklich sehr groß, da die Jahresabfüllung von 2020 zu meinen absoluten Liebelingsrums gehört. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Dunkel, kräftig, rauchig, holzig, schokoladig, einfach großartig. Der Abgang könnte etwas länger sein. Im direkten Vergleich ist die Jahresabfüllung etwas fruchtiger und gefällt mir persönlich einen tick besser. Nichtsdestotrotz würde ich mir sofort eine Flasche zulegen wenn der immens hohe Preis nicht wäre. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall eine Kostprobe :) Update Feb. 2026 Gefällt mir mittlerweile noch besser als damals. Relativ starker Sherryeinfluss. Trotzdem kraftvoll. Sehr lecker.

"An incredible rum and for me one of the best rums I have ever tasted. The price is high, but that is not surprising for the ingredients."
