Once you get past the alcoholic kick, there is a lot going on! It has butter, caramel, and a bit of vanilla in the taste. I get a peppery finish but that could be very much aided by the alcohol content. It has a decent beginning, middle, and end! I think this might be much better than the regular Pusser’s!
This is the kind of rum I like. Easy on the sweetness and strong on the spice. Good peppery flavor and an even molasses sweetness that is not too strong. For being 109 proof there is little alcohol on the nose and in the sip and mouthfeel. This is a very fun and enjoyable rum but its missing a good body, complexity and aftertaste to make this truly great. May not be a sipper for most, especially if you prefer the sweet rums, but this is a good rum with a lot going for it. Would be an 8 if it had a little more flavors that stood out.
Strong dry fruit and a slight almost chocolate taste, but remains very smooth throughout
Very full nose, with strong raisin notes. Within my experience, this feels a bit like the notes of a Spanish style but with the pungency of a Jamaican to back it up. On the palate, quite forceful and alcoholic at first but quickly recedes to leave lingering cola and spice notes. A great sipper and amazing value at the price!
Love this rum, lots and lots of caramel and toffee on the nose and palate, really viscous, the alcohol is not overpowering at all even though this is a high proof rum. For about $35 this is must have in your bar.
This is Pusser's 40% on steroids, intense English style rum, good mix of Guyana and other Caribbean colonies, spicy, with the right amount of sugar and molasses to counterbalance the strong alcohol content, yet it keeps the complexity of the less potent brother and takes it on a new level. The profile is raisins, molasses, demerara sugar, caramel, oak, butter, all spicy and strong in the nose and in the taste, intense and warming. It is a good company for winter walks where just a small sip from the hip flask will bring smile on your face, it also mixes well with tea or just about any beverage.
Drsný rum pro drsné námořníky. Silný a nekompromisní každým douškem. V chuti dominuje rašelinou silně vypálený dubový sud po skotské, ve vůni dub, rašelina a jód.
Je ostřejší a je to znát. Není to nic pro milovníky sladkých a jemným rumů. Je to gunpowder - střelný prach, trhavina!!!
Gillar smaken som är intressant men känns lite rivig och spretig.
Love Pussers. Great rums and this is no exception. Smoothest overproof I have tried. A true navy style rum. Sippable. Strong as you might expect but has body with oak, coffee and some faint apple notes. If the finish were longer I would rate this an 8. Very good stuff. I like the navy and 15 year olds better but this gives you a lot of bang and delivers it tastefully.
This is another outstanding rum from Pussers. With clear molasses and woody flavors. The is an excellent sipping and mixing rum.
It is fruity, hints of smokiness.
"It’s not sickly and overly spiced like some navy rums. There is a real complexity about this rum with a lot of flavour. ."

I like Navy style rums, so it was just a question of time, when I get my hands on this one.
The nose and the taste are quite dark. Not very fruity, but with molasses and honey.
I like this combination and the balance. The blend is still strong with 54.5%, but this abv was a very good choice. There is something musty in the nose, that I know from Demerara rums (molasses coated casks - MDXC). That's why it's pretty clear, this blend is a Guyana rum. Because of the raisins there is also a proportion of Enmore still rum in the blend.
In the taste Demerare flavors are very dominant but I get also some Jamaica flavors first (don't know how they delevoped them out of Guyana rum) and then Guyana in the middle and the finish.
The taste is dark with molasses and some tanins in the background. I like the molasses, raisins, wood flavors. This is what I expect from a good navy blend.
The old label says it was a blend of Guyana, Trinidad, Barbados rum. Now it's a pure Demerara blend. I don't have the medical note in the taste, it's pretty clear that there is no other rum inside. But there is also a typical Jamaica note in the taste, the question is how they created it.
For 21€ this one is a great bargain, unbeliveable cheap and good. If you like navy rums, I recommend this one.
This one is almost the best classic navy blend and I think the rating of 83 is appropriate.

Nice fact:
"The navy tot by the way was often mixed with a little lime juice (to prevent scurvy) and sugar (undoubtedly to smooth out what would have been very young rum). This process may have pushed rum into the "anything goes" spirit we often see in products today. But by the way, a squeeze of lime is pretty good in rum…"
