Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

This rum has that west indies funky taste in spades, I only wish I had tried it sooner!! I will definitely be keeping this one on hand permanently. I will definitely be trying the aged and the overproof as well. Has a similar funk as the Jamaican rums from Hampden like Smith and Cross etc.

Tried straight, and found it akin to black pepper and raisin, and would situate it somewhere between coarse and smooth. I prefer a little more caramel sweetness to this style rum, but certainly makes for an interesting drink. Wouldn't say no to this in future, and I'm sure those looking for a more savoury flavour rum will enjoy this one too. Lots of flavour, and generally enjoyable, however, I get the feeling the original (gunpowder proof) would be better.

I drink this one mixed with coke or in my Three Dots and a Dash tiki drink.

I never knew how good this Rum was until I began to taste the many inferior Rums that are available. This Rum is quite good neat with a splash of water . I enjoy this “classic Rum now more than I once did. The nose is subtle and I can note sugar, cinnamon and brown sugar. Taste is quite satisfying as it has a distinct rum flavor that is not overpowering. Finish is smooth with a late bite that disappears quickly. Again, this is a neat sipper which I wouldn’t waste on a mixer. I do like this Rum as an everyday spirit. It is a good rum for the price and better than most expensive rums.

And while it's mildly sweet I don't find much redeeming value in this. For the price you can get something far superior.

Il peut battre pavillon anglais avec fierté, il a toutes les caractéristiques d'un rhum british : puissant, extrêmement boisé, un nez un peu trop alcolié et un final âpre. Pas mon style mais je reconnais ses qualités. Mériterai de jouer un peu plus la profondeur mais retenu par son poids. Ronaldo (l'original) en fin de carrière.

Classic history aside, it’s a rock solid poor: Painkillers yes, but a solid mixer with most.

Yes it is Pusser's and enjoyed mixed or neat. Sits well with my naval heritage and background. Too bad we cannot pipe Up Spirits every day any more. Damn Politicians.

I find it very easy to drink. It reminds me of a chocolate sold in Australia that I have had, on and off for years - Old Jamaica - so sipping it brings back memories. One of my relatives used to drink it when they were in the merchant marine too, so when I saw it on the shelf I thought I'd give it a try. For me it has a fruity, maybe a little medicinal smell. It's not watery but a little liqueur like in consistency with warmth - very nice.

From the nose I thought I was in for an explosion as it had a strong spicy pungent scent. There was a definite spice hit in the first moment but it smooths out quickly to have a nice musty oak flavour with hints of.... Vanilla? Very mild but we'll balanced hints.
This is good stuff. sip or mix, whatever you want.
