Pusser's Gunpowder Proof

Very intense nose with ripe banana, brown sugar and mediterranean herbs. Taste: The initial sweetness turns slowly into a dry and herbal bitterness. Also a medium to long finish with banana taste. High alcohol content, nevertheless, easy to drink.

The color has a little darker shade without being in the dark rum category but the flavor is delicious. Great spice yet fairly smooth with a nice bite at the end and some oak. A good quality strong rum that’s affordable.

Very good as long as you like the bigger kick (due to 54.5 volts it has). Ahoy!!!

A strong rum (at 55%). Not for beginners. Once the strong alcohol burn passed, notes of taste and wood. One of my favorites. Hard to find.

It's fine essence of navy rums, great for punch or grog.

Bought for my dad and my for Christmas, we enjoyed it.

At first on the nose and palate you get a spicy/peppery hit from the strong bitter molasses, but once it breathes a little it seems to get smoother, and then flavours separate a little and the complexity reaches its pinnacle with the notes of caramel, vanilla, and honey coming forth.

I tried straight and with a light splash of ginger, though I can imagine that the mainstream proof version would be more palatable for most as this one needs a little time and appreciation. For me, this one is a sipper with a ball of ice.

A strong dark aroma, dark chocolate, fruity, coffee, light alcoholic, very nice.
The taste has also dark chocolate, spicy, light woody. A very nice rum.

If you like Naval rums, you'll probably enjoy this. The extra proof makes it worth adding ice, or water, to release some changing flavours as you sip. A worthy drink, if not a great one

I decided that my first Pusser's will be Gunpowder. And this was good choise. Strong but smooth with good flavor
