Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

LaneH53 avatar image had this rum recently

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.

Rhum très boisé et au goûter le caramel un peu vanillée, on sent un peu la Jamaïque. Au nez chocolat et cognac. Je m'attendais à mieux mais correct.

If it spends in a barrel maybe 3-5 years more it would be perfect. Notes of wood, walnuts and molasses are absolutely fantastic - only roughness of alcohol causes it is not a sipper, but very high class mixer. Very possible that sailors before 1970 didn't have such a good rum.

There are almost no disadvantages, the advantages are also small. .,.,.,. Простая и оригинальная ёмкость. В аромате демерара и спирт. Во вкусе сладость, подгоревшая хлебная корка. Добавленный сахар есть, но он не создаёт проблем. Первые восторженные впечатления от британского стиля с кондитерскими мотивами ушли, оставив доминировать горечь. Потому воздержался от покупки второй бутылки.

So, I was not a huge fan of this rum. Not a sipper, not great as a mixer for rum and coke, not a great MaiTai rum. There is nothing wrong with the rum, but there are many better rums out there for the price that do so much more than this one does.

I was messing around with various cocktail ingredients and made a "cocktail" mixing this one part rum to 2 parts pineapple juice (not canned juice) pored over ice.

This make a delicious too-easy-to-drink cocktail. If it is too sweet you can acidify the pineapple juice with a small amount of ascorbic or malic acid. See link https://discoginferno.wordpress.com/2015/04/19/a-new-invention-lime-strength-pineapple-juice/

I like it in a Pain Killer. Other than that I haven’t found a good use for it. It’s not bad but has a flavor that’s hard for me to describe. Not good for sipping. I’ve tried it in several other cocktails and it doesn’t work. Maybe in a Dark and Stormy because it seems similar to Gosling’s Black Seal.

The unmistakability of the rum is one of my quality criteria. If the nose and palate are then also delighted, it may be a second glass with pleasure. Pusser's has a high recognition value. Under the slightly alcoholic note, fine aromas are hidden. These also give mixed drinks, such as the Painkiller, a special note. I always like to use it again.

Not bad for the price. Great to use in sugary punch-like mixed drinks.

I first picked up a bottle of Pusser’s over a decade ago when I first started venturing in to the world of rum. Ever since, I’ve tried to always have some around.

It’s got a strong spicy and alcoholy aroma, with some wood and caramel notes, and something else I can’t quite place. Orange zest and hazelnut, maybe?

A gentle sip out of a glass provides a strong alcoholy bite along with a sweet caramelly oakiness. It burns my throat a tad as I swallow.

I’m not certain this is a rum to be drunk on its own; I feel like it’s better suited as an ingredient in a cocktail. It makes great rum sours and old fashioneds, and it also is strong enough to push through Coke, hot or iced tea, or most other drinks. I’ve never tried it in its trademarked drink, the Painkiller, but I’m certain it excels there, too. Best yet, it makes a good rum-infused coffee, if you’re the type of person (like me) that likes to roast your own coffee.

If you like a rum with personality, this is it. If you want the Jack Daniel’s of rum, look elsewhere and save the Pusser’s for me

Very nice complex flavor. I use this for my Navy Grog. Works well in place of many dark rums in cocktails. Cheers!
