The last remaining stone flagons of the original rum once served to the British navy have been gathered, re-blended and bottled as Black Tot Last Consignment British Royal Naval Rum.
The rum will launch on 31 July, the 40th anniversary of Black Tot Day, when the British Navy called time on the tradition of serving a portion of rum to naval officers and sailors each day.
The release includes a custom made wooden box, an 80-page book on the history of naval rum written by spirits author Dave Broom, a copper cup to measure an official half gill ration and a certificate of authenticity.
