In this episode, we sat down with Oliver Chilton, the head blender at Black Tot Rum, to nerd out on all things blending—from their recently reformulated flagship blend, to their new solera blend, to their annual master blender's reserve releases, and beyond.
We also got into a lot of in-the-works rum projects that we didn't know were coming down the pike. All of which are interesting.
Oliver was a great hang and we learned a lot. We think you will too. You'll hear about:
The rum Oliver was desperate to add to their Finest Caribbean blend (and why)
How Oliver went from working at The Whisky Exchange to becoming a rum and whisky blender
Their distillery project (and whether we might see rum coming from it)
The coolest rare rums Oliver has had the chance to work with
Misconceptions about sherry cask and solera maturation
How solera casks different from typical ex-sherry casks used in aging rum
Possible future releases
And much more!
