Pussers British Navy Rum Gunpowder Proof 54.5% 700ml information

Pusser’s British Navy Rum Gunpowder Proof is an exceptional classic British Navy style rum, inspired by the historic recipe used to produce the daily rum ration given to sailors until Black Tot Day in 1970. Bottled at a robust strength of 54.5% ABV, this rum derives its name from the naval tradition of testing the rum’s proof by mixing it with gunpowder and attempting to ignite it. If the mixture ignited, it confirmed the rum was of the correct strength.

This richly complex rum offers a full-bodied experience. On the nose, you will encounter an array of notes including walnut, gunflint, black and red berries, spice powder, bitter cocoa, smoke, metal, burnt wood, black molasses, prune, exotic fruits, and a hint of solvent. With some air, a slightly metallic side becomes apparent, along with pear brandy, overripe pineapple, mango, marzipan, muscovado sugar, and roasted spices.

On the palate, Pusser’s Rum demonstrates an impressive consistency with a dry, strong, and full-bodied profile. There is a powerful roundness brought by fruits such as banana and almonds, leading to intricate aromas of nuts, prunes, and cocoa. The finish is prolonged and distinguished, featuring rancio, prunes, nuts, and a delightful muscovado sugar flavor.

Pusser’s Rum is renowned for its signature cocktail, the Painkiller, embodying the rich history and unique flavor profile of the Virgin Islands. This rum is meticulously distilled using both Pot and Column Still techniques, making it a top recommendation for those who appreciate complex, full-bodied rums that carry the distinct taste of navy tradition.

A product of Guyana, Trinidad, and the British Virgin Islands, this rum continues a more than 300-year-old tradition, offering the same rum that was once standard issue aboard the ships of the British Royal Navy.
