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.

Typical sweet heavy guayna´s demerara (for example El Dorado).
Sample from calendar 24 days of rum.

I bought a bottle on impulse after recommendations from two people I respect. After three tasting sessions I've gotta say if you want the flavor it's the rummiest thing I've yet come across that doesn't go way overboard on hogo. I accept that it's an acquired taste and I'll have to revisit it, I'm not knocking those who praise it neat...However all I got at my first tasting neat was strongly fermented rather sulphurous blackstrap molasses and harsh alcohol, not much more. Next I tried it with coconut water (my favorite mixer for mellower rums), and it somehow made it taste more bitter. Finally I added lime juice and a splash of club soda, and the flavor emerged...this stuff thrives when mixed with citrus, the harshness disappears. It's the crude stuff they used to serve the Royal Navy but it's also complicated...I'll be revisiting it to find a place for it in my life...at least for the duration of this bottle. I'll likely never try it neat again, it'll only serve as a very strong-flavored mixer I have to make adjustments for. I recommend that you try it just for the difference, this is actual historical rum that tastes like nothing we have around today. Like it or lump it, it's the Real Deal and seems to grow on you...you may spontaneously spout sea chanties after only two drinks. I only recommend that you cut it with something acidic, lime is working quite well as I write this....

After tasting a lot of different rums classified as english-style rums I didn't expected anything special from this one. But it surprised me. One of the best in a row. Maybe this one isn't so aromatic like jamaican rum, but it definetly it's perfect smoothed and warming.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11/28/18. A foundational rum that must be in your bar if you want to serve a Painkiller and don't want to be sued. Musty aroma. Earthy. Robust and a bit medicinal. Perhaps not to be consumed by itself neat.

Smell is weird but not that bad. Molasses overtakes the whole tasting experience.
Decent mixer, but nowhere near my go-to.

Became one of my favorites as has a nice mix of favors. Not a sweeet one.
Perfectly fine as a sipper or a mixer.

For a young rum this is fantastic, I love the nose on this, has a lot of funk mixed with sweetness, and the palate is rich and smooth. Very transparent with what they are doing here, chilled-filtered and 3 years old age statement. For only 22 dollars here in the USA this hard to beat.

great funk rum with "finish that goes on forever" (c). no reason to describe all nuances, cos everyone who somehow appears at this site, should definitely try this one at least once. as for me I'm gonna enjoy it again and again
