Virgin Islands, British | Aged | 40% ABV
Pusser’s British Navy Rum 15-Year is a blend of five rums from Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados which are produced in mainly wooden pot stills. The blend is aged for 15 years.
The company derives its name from the British Navy 'Purser' who distributed a daily 'tot' of rum ration to each sailor - a tradition which lasted from 1655 until 1970. In 1979 Charles Tobias obtained the rights to blend the original recipe of the British Navy Rum.
Pusser's British Navy Rum is casually known as “Nelson’s Blood” as a nod to the famous death of Admiral Nelson. After being mortally wounded in a naval battle in 1805, Nelson’s body was preserved in a barrel of rum.

I would like to love it more because this a complex and nicely done rum, unfortunately it's also very sweet.
First we have to recognize this bottle style and 15 year blend is no longer available. My rating is for the orange label older version. This rum was nearing perfection in my book. Unfortunately the new blend falls way short. I understand they lost the rights to the Trinidad rum that it was blended with and is now100% Guyana blended.
Back to the old 15 review dark brown full bodied, I believe it was over proof and delicious. If you are lucky enough to get old stock, buy it all.
Funny thing they did the same thing with regular Pusser’s over 25 years ago the original blue label was much better and I boycotted the new blend for 20 years, but find it very appealing again.
Tytéž zatuchlé hrozinky v lihu, jako u standardního British Navy, ale zjemnělé a vlastně méně zajímavé. Přes udávaných 40% překvapivě lihovitější než je (nebo bývalo - už jsem ho pár let nepil) 54,5% British Navy. Mělo to být na oslavu, ale bylo to velké zklamání. Hodnocení se vztahuje k nekřesťanské ceně (skoro 1500 Kč), jinak tak 7. Šlo o verzi v nové láhvi (plnění z roku 2018) původem z Guyany; je velmi pravděpodobné, že starší Nelsonkavér býval lepší...
Aby to ověřil, pořídil jsem nakonec aktuální British Navy distribuovanou nyní pod názvem Gunpowder Proof, která je nyní rovněž z Guayny, nikoli z Barbadosu jako dřív. A vskutku - je nesrovnatelně horší než bývala, takže mohu jen litovat, že jsem si Nelsonovu krev nekoupil už před lety...
Not a fantastic sipper but nice in a simple mixed drink. Had my bottle for years so has probably changed over time
This is what you imagine Nelsons boys would drink. No wonder they were fearless. The real thing.
Essential sipping rum, heard the new blend and label is terrible . Sweet complex , honey , aroma - smooth burn
Or a good girls. Has lots of flavour without being sugary. One of my favorites
Delicious, wonderful noise and deeply rich flavours.
As an unexpirienced rum drinke, the first sips of this rum where a little bit simmilar as a soft whiskey for me. After a couple of sips, it tasted more Like a rum with little hints of sweetness, and Lots of different flavours. I did expected more after all the good comments. But it was still Fine.
Very distinctive rich fruity slightly malt like.
"The flavour bursts through it is rich and fruity but it also has that dry almost whisky like note. ."
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Upon my first snifter of this highly rated rum, I was sorely disappointed for doling out $45. Those first few neat sips were like a punch in the face from the raw alcohol taste. I first rated it as a 5 and compared it to an enticing young lady who suckers gullible guys in and then grabs them by the throat and takes all of their money. I shoved that bottle to the back of my cabinet for a few days.
Then being snowed in and running out of rums to try from my cabinet, I gave this one another chance. Now I knew that one needs to let their rum breathe before sipping, but I have never had one breathe within it's bottle after only a few sips. Talk about night and day and it's character really showed it's colors! Oh my God! The aroma (I hate the term "nose") opens up like a sweet smelling tropical bouquet! The closest I would compare the taste would be Mount Gay XO with a lot more subtle flavors and smoothness, so this Pusser's gets an upgrade to a 9 rating. It just keeps getting better each day!
Yes, it has added sugars, which most rum distillers use these days, but they can't seem to win unanimous approval from fellow rum drinkers. If one wants no added sugars, then go with Don Q Gran Anejo or Flor de Cana 18, but try not to to complain about boring taste. I personally don't like rums without added sugars and have stated so in those reviews. Most of the rest of the fine rums will plead guilty to adding sugars. Hey, after spending 12 years or more in wooden barrels and losing a lot of volume to the angel's share, the distiller has to do something to make the results readily marketable, and I would compare this skill with the best of chefs who know exactly how to season their dishes. That in itself is a fine art!
Update May 3, 2018: This one has not withstood the test of time, so it gets docked one point. Not bad, but not great after sitting half full in the bottle for a few months.
Update June 23, 2019: I finally found another bottle, which is rare in these parts. This highly sweetened rum is one sure way to ruin a perfectly good Central American Arabica coffee. And due to the amount of added sugar, so much as one glass of this will have your ass married to the royal porcelain throne the next morning with diarrhea. You have been warned!!! I have lowered my rating for this reason.
