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.

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

The body is not very dense, the "legs" are medium

Color: dark amber, strong tea
Aroma: the first thing that comes to mind is the sea notes. sea ​​salt. Bright herbaceous aroma, very similar to the style of agricole, treacle. Medicinal notes, licorice, caramel, spices, are caught dried fruits, light freshness, such a sea breeze.
Taste: a bit thin, a bit bitter, a herbal theme, salt, quite a bit of sweetness, oak, at the same time very mild taste, drink. Rum dry
Aftertaste: fast, a little bit of bitterness and at the same time it shows sweetness, salt, a little peppercorn

I would even call it light. I would like more density and strength . Rum justifies the name "military-naval". With him I think I would have sat on the beach)

Solid 81 points.

We introduced ourselves to this rum with some straight sipping, it was okay but weren't blown away with any flavours good or bad. We added ice and it seemed to smooth it out a little. Even tried mixing with coke, and tried with a dark gingerale too. Ran out of rum, will get more.

I found this to be an over rated rum. Its quite astringent in the nose with a hint of molasses. Does not deliver the depths of flavour for the price it is in Australia. I was half inclined to give it a 5 scapes in for a 6. Will serve fine as a mixer

I bought this rum because the bottle sold me. I found the taste quite strong and not something I was used to and I rated it maybe a bit low. I may be ready now to try it again and possible bump up my rating.

Sweet and fruity. Dates and prunes and spicy vanilla. Treacle on the finish. Very enjoyable but not as good as nelsons blood.

Supposedly the original Pain Killer recipe used this. I'll pass.

Cork fell apart when I tried to open it. Not a good start. Lots of after taste. Would do in a pinch.

This rum has a few flaws. First, unlike real navy rum, it has no Jamaican (or Bajan) rum in it. Second, it's 40%. I really won't drink this anymore, and if I want Pusser's, I grab the bottle of Gunpowder proof. Same rum, less water, more flavor. More bang for your buck than this.

I just love the... well lets call it a smell... of these navy rums. Something like the old sailor´s stinky socks being put in the rum cask. This rum is different and its pure... and if you keep it standing for a while yo discover some more tones, like figues.

Give it a try... and if you want a smoother one, go for the 15-year Nelson´s blood bottle.
