about Black Tot
Black Tot works with the world's best distilleries to craft the finest rum blends, embracing the tradition of multi-country blending pioneered by the Royal Navy – a technique that gives its rums nuance and depth. Its name is also a nod to naval tradition, paying tribute to Black Tot Day (31st July 1970), when the Navy ended its centuries-old practice of handing out daily rum rations, or tots, to sailors. Black Tot's commitments to transparency, provenance and quality ensure that all components of its blends are entirely traceable, and the brand shares detailed breakdowns of its blend compositions.

about the presenter
Mitch Wilson began his fascination with rum while working at London’s world-renown rum bar, Trailer Happiness. Over the past 10 years, Mitch’s passion for rum has led to him bartending in some of the world’s best bars, while traveling to distilleries around the world to bring back exceptional booze and stories to share. In 2020, Mitch Wilson was asked to be the Global Ambassador for Black Tot Rum - which would turn out to be an interesting couple of years for brand ambassadors used to living on the road! Not to be deterred, over lockdown Mitch went on to host over 200 online rum sessions, including the Spirits Business Best Online Events for both 2020 (Black Tot Day 24 Hours) & 2021 (The Rum Show Online). Now in 2023, he’s excited to back on the road, sharing his love for rum with people all around the world.
