Black Tot rum 1975 42 y.o. single cask 70th Velier Vol.47,4 Cl.70

Distilled in Guyana in 1975, Black Tot 42 Year Old has matured in the Caribbean for four decades.

Sukhinder Singh of Elixir Distillers has selected an extremely rare full cask of 42-year-old Demerara for Velier's 70th anniversary.

Sukhinder Singh purchased all the British Royal Navy stock remaining in London warehouses on July 31, 1970, the day (Black Tot) when the rum ration on Royal Navy ships was abolished.

Among the barrels rediscovered at Black Tot - Elixir distillers is a rare cask of Demerara rum distilled in 1975.

It is a celebration of the distillers' skills and the rums, produced from rich molasses and aged in oak.

This rum is born from the work of an 18th-century wooden double still, which gives it a unique character.

It is bottled without additives and is the pure expression of Demerara rum from the Port Mourant distillery—a former British Guiana distillery famous for its inimitable style.

Bottled unfiltered in 2017 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Italian importer, Luca Gargano's Genoese company Velier.

The Black Tot rum 1975 42 years old was produced in only 22 bottles worldwide.
