About this deal

The finish is short and faint and wispy — no gilding that lily — mostly anise, molasses and caramel, with the fruits receding quite a bit. The soft flavours of brown sugar, caramel, bitter chocolate, toffee, molasses and anise are forward again (they really wake up a cola-based diet soda, let me tell you, and if you add a lime wedge it kicks).

A solid, straightforward, simple drink, I would say – no airs, no frills, very firm, and very much at home in a mix. In case you couldn’t tell from the name or rather nautical packaging, Watson’s Trawler Rum is a Navy style dark rum, marrying spirits from Barbados and Guyana. Complementing this is the Trinidad blend, which wafts in smooth, tropical nuances, reminiscent of its pulsating culture.

The Black Tot Blenders Reserve 2023 Edition epitomizes the art of blending, masterfully merging the annals of history with the nuances of modern-day craftsmanship. These original works may not be copied, quoted or reused in any way whatsoever without the permission of the author Lance Surujbally. All of these channelled some whiff of the old merchant bottlers and their blends, or tried for a Navy vibe (not always successfully, but ok…).The company, according to Anne Watson (granddaughter of the founder), was formed in the late 1940s in Aberdeen, sold at some point to the Chivas Group, and since 1996 the brand is owned by Ian McLeod distillers (home of Sheep Dip and Glengoyne whiskies).

Such rums are are almost always and peculiarly associated with hazy, fond memories of times past, it seems to me.

I mean, it’s thick to smell, with layers of muscovado sugar, molasses, licorice, and bags of dark fruits. I say “simple” and “easy” but really should also add “rich”, which was one of the first words my rather startled notes reveal. This tasty rum from the Hampden Distillery was aged for a minimum of 8 years; with the intense heat acting as a catalyst during maturation. It’s in that simplicity, I argue, lies much of Watson’s strength and enduring appeal — “an honest and loyal rum” opined Serge Valentin of WhiskyFun in his review . It’s not terrible to drink neat, though few will ever bother to have it that way; and perhaps it’s a touch sharp and uncouth, as most such rums aged less than five years tend to be.

This is the Black Tot Blenders Reserve 2023 Edition – a symphony of flavors, a testament to timeless traditions, and a celebration of impeccable craftsmanship.

It tastes a bit sweet, and it develops the additional dark fruit notes such rums tend to showcase – blackberries, ripe dark cherries, prunes, plums, with a slight acidic line of citrus or pineapple rounding things out nicely.

Like Johnny I offer no guarantee that my readings are 100% accurate and I can only use already published results as a baseline for mine. The Barbados blend, in tandem, brings a gentle island sweetness, reminiscent of its balmy, sun-drenched shores. Each droplet pays homage to the esteemed Navy rum, resonating its robust character and deep-seated richness. The continuity in this blend's depth and character is maintained by integrating elements from the previous year's Master Blender’s Reserve. It’s been many years since the first of those blended dark-coloured UK supermarket rums dating back decades crossed my path – back then I was writing for Liquorature, had not yet picked up the handle of “The ‘Caner”, and this site was years in the future.

It also smells of stewed apples, aromatic tobacco, ripe cherries and a wedge or two of pineapple for bite. I may be romanticizing a drink overmuch, you could argue…but then, just read my first paragraphs again, then the last two, and ask yourself whether you don’t have at least one rum like that in your own collection.
