Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year rum

Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

Virgin Islands, British | Aged | 40% ABV

The Great British Admiralty first served rum daily to its Royal Navy sailors over 300 years ago until the ration was abolished in 1970. In 1979 Charles Tobias bought the recipe rights, formed Pusser’s Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands, and for the first time made the rum it available for public consumption.

Pusser’s British Navy rum today is the same blend of five West Indian rums as the British Admiralty issued to sailors.

Known as the “single malt of rum” Pusser’s British Navy rum is pot stilled using a similar method as that for single malt scotches, and with no artificial flavors is 100% natural.

You can see why the navy would give this to its sailors. Strong and sugary. You need to try it if for nothing else because of its history. Basic rum.

Probably a mixer but good. Has a hint of tea or some other British shit

Strong flavors may be overbearing for most, but it still delivers.

Nice smooth smell of ron, not only empty glass. Lightly sharp taste, Stronger Taste of ron,would say good for sailing. :-)

Based on reviews I had read (low level of added sugar post-distillation) I knew it was only a matter of time before I ended up buying a bottle of Pusser’s British Navy Rum and I am glad I did. This rum has distinct aromas and flavours with similarities to the Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12 year Rum (which I didn’t really care for) but in a much better way. It is not a “great” sipper but it nevertheless is a nice change, profile wise and a welcome addition to my liquor cabinet.
Upon finishing my first bottle of Pusser’s Navy Rum I must admit that the flavours of this rum are growing on me and I will definitely keep a supply of this rum on hand.

Thanks to the drink plan on my cruise I was able to sample several rums, and this was one. I was able to finish it. It's OK, I guess as a mixer. I can't sip it. Give me plantation, of any age or Vizcaya.

A good rum to add spice to your cocktails, but nothing I would sip on its own.

Bought this based entirely on the idea of trying out the rum that is featured in so many Patrick O'Brian novels. Compared to a standard like Myers, its less sweet and less evidence of molasses, a greater sense of the alcohol content. Still new at the rum review game, but I sense that the navy like this the way college students like malt liquor.

You don't always get what you pay for either way but this is a £20 rhum. Its nice with a mixer but alone its a bit harsh on my palette and for me lacks those smoother qualities of a more refined rhum, probably good on someone else's but hey we are all different.

I love a Pusser's British Navy. Though my score may not suggest so.
The first bottle I ever opened, I was not so impressed and condoned to using it as a mixer for the famous BVI Pain Killer cocktail.
HOWEVER, I forgot about the remains I placed in their decanter. 6m later I revisited it. The interaction with the air in the bottle mellowed it out changed its flavors dramatically.
Now an "open" bottle always sits their with my other staple rums.
I like it neat or served in a PainKiller cocktail.
