I compared this rum directly with the Lemon Hart 151, mixing a 151 Swizzle with each. The Lemon Hart 151 is better, but the Pusser's Overproof has a somewhat similar aroma; upon first impression it's a bit lighter, and a bit earthier, and the taste is quite a bit sweeter. Upon longer examination an interesting milk-like nuance appears. Since the Lemon Hart 151 is officially unavailable in Europe, it makes sense to substitute it with the Pusser's Overproof, especially considering that in most of the old cocktail recipes of the Tiki culture lots of other ingredients and rums are added, which mask the aroma of the Lemon Hart 151.

Toto je 75% verze originálního Pussers rumu, určená pokud vím na zaoceánské plavby. Člověk by očekával, že při takovéhle síle bude chuť ustupovat alkoholu, ale není tomu tak. Chuť je celkem výrazná a dobře rozpoznatelná. O kousek horší než originální 54,5%, ale i tak výborný rum.
Vůně: Hodně kořenitá a silná, musíte rum chvilku nechat, než se vůně trochu rozvine a nebude to jen silná směs všeho možného.
Chuť: Výrazně lepší než vůně. Trocha koření, dřevitá, i přes 75% to štípe méně než třeba Tatranský 72% čaj. Na svojí sílu poměrně jemná chuť.

Overproof 75%abv blend of Trininad, Virgin Islands and Guyana
Nose: traditional Pussers template, toasted dark sugar, caramel, vanilla
Taste: same as above, bit buttery, much lighter in flavor and profile than the (Guyana) Gunpowder
Finish: Spicy, hot, quite dry, light oak, pleasant bitterness, some cola aroma
Decent enough but if you are looking for that Pussers or demerara taste then Gunpowder is much better rum, this is blander, lighter, just higher proof.
Remains bit of a novelty bottling, the Plantation o.f.t.d is also less harsh and more full bodied.

Sabroso y digno de ser el ron oficial de la Royal Navy. Para acompañar con algún hielo.

Buttery aroma. A little alcohol bite. A great mixer. Fantastic painkiller. Not sure it's a sipper.

I would not say 75prct. You can also use it as a disinfectant :-)
It's a boy's drink, not a woman.

In spite of the strength of alcohol, this rum has a flavor, so that means for the maximum rating 7.

Rum vymyšlený pro dálkové plavby, kdy se méně koncentrované destiláty neoplatilo vozit.
Zajímavé na něm je, že se to i v této síle dá pít a přitom má nějakou chuť, ale jinak ideální na to prubnout jednoho paňáka v nějakém baru.
Zas mi ale doma dlouho vydržel...

It has a great burn and a warm aroma with a bit of caramel. It is relatively smooth as well.

Secure yourself to your chair before tasting this rum or you will be directly on board a pirate ship ! Vegetable and floral notes with oak. Strong, dry and powerful . Finally Navy Rum !

Great rum, very different from other Pusser's

I like this rum too, but it is very different from the 40% ABV version Navy Rum and also from the 54% ABV Gunpowder Proof.
This is extremely strong, not meant to be sipped neat for sure. Seriously, don't try it. Or do not say that you have not been warned if you do anyway.
It is woody, astringent, much less sweet than the other Pusser's rums. Notes of spices (nutmeg, cardamom), some heat. A bit of gasoline. If I did not know any better, I would assume some Jamaican rum to be in the mix, as it is very dunder-ish. But that might be the Guyana part, they sometimes achieve something very close.
This fire water is meant for mixing. Or for sipping with a generous ammount (50% or so) of water. I like it for mixing, I like it in Painkiller cocktails. It is brilliant for that. As a sipper, I would still prefer it to many of the sweetened "premium" rums out there. But then preferably with a lot of water and - sacrilege, I know - some ice.
It goes very well mixed with ginger beer or ginger ale. I do personally not drin rum-cola, but I assume that it would also be great for that role, since it is sure to punch through any flavours you throw at it. If you like some flavour in your longdrink, this is a good choice.
The "standard" Navy Rum and the Gunpowder Proof are now all purely Guyana rum. This, on the other hand, is still a mix of Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Guyana rums. And it shows. I have an old bottle of the 42% ABV navy rum, which is similar, but much less potent (and much more sippable).
