Tales & Spirits

This monday July 3rd, join us for a very special masterclass (3-4:30pm) with Mitch Wilson (Black Tot Rum Global Ambassador), as he presents a deep dive into the murky waters of this historic spirit. In this session, Mitch will explore some of the common myths and misconceptions associated with Navy Rum, and we will discover the real story behind the world’s first multi-country rum blend. Guests will have a chance to taste Black Tot Finest Caribbean as well as each of its individual component rums from Barbados, Guyana, and Jamaica that we chose for our blend. In addition, each attendee will be given a taste of Black Tot Master Blender’s Reserve - bottled at 54.5% ABV (full Navy Strength), this is a limited edition release aimed at recreating the blending style of the authentic Navy Rum blend.
And all this followed by Mitch Wilson stepping behind the stick from 5-8pm mixing some delicious Black Tot Rum cocktails
Seats limited for masterclass RSVP by Friday June 30th to [email protected] .. Guestshift open to general public, first come first served, full is full!
