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.

It's not a true navy rum, that would have to be at least 54.5% (109 proof), so it's more of a navy style rum. Pusser also makes a "Gunpowder" version that already meets this "standard". In this case it is a 40% blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad with no exact age statement.
Bottle: Traditional
Colour: Gold to amber
Nose: Pleasant but unremarkable. There are caramel, cane sugar, dried fruits (bananas, apples), apple pie, spices (pepper, nutmeg) and finally a hint of wood.
Mouth: Pleasant but quite strong at 40%. Later on, the sharpness decreases. It could be called woody and spicy taste. There are caramel, cloves, nutmeg, molasses, cocoa and a woodiness to bitterness.
Finish: Medium-long.
Conclusion: Pusser's British Navy Rum is a nice and dry rum for everyday sipping. It is intended more for the non-sweet rum drinkers.
Rating: 7.5/10

Nose: Fruity but accentuated with a light asphalt note. Banana peels and watermelon. Touches of sugar-coated almonds, white wood, and sultanas. The top notes give a hint of complexity, but the development does not fully follow through.
Palate: Similar in character to the nose. The fruit zeros in on watermelon and its seeds. Accents are chili flakes, tart lemon cakes, sultanas, and a quiet hint of dry asphalt.
Finish: Brine and white bread smeared with salted butter. Quite short.

Clearly pot distilled, as there is a lot of funkiness on the nose, and some when tasting. There is also some heft and sweetness there. Some caramel and maybe chocolate. A bit of alcohol.

Pusser’s is a solid go-to rum for mixing. Very nice and buttery notes to it. It’s honestly not bad on its own. Considering the price and history it’s a great rum. Not super complex - a little flat sometimes but depending on how you mix it, can be great.

Color: Classic deep golden hue
Nose: Classic demerara goodness, slight burnt notes, pipe tobacco.
Mouth: A far more balanced and even-keeled profile to many other demerara’s who often have more outspoken burnt tones. Spice, dried fruit (raisins especially) and the touch of burnt dark wood.
Finish: Outstanding and longish finish with a very welcome uptick in flavor strength to finish off your sip.
Pusser’s original admiralty rum with the 100% Guyanese content and bottled at 40% is one of those true treats as a rum lover. It will remind and reinforce in you why you love rum so much. A true classic and a staple in my rum collection. Excellent both as a sipping and cocktail rum. Highly recommended for any discerning rum cabinet.

Tried this for first time this week as I ran out of my favorite and this was all I had left, and I was quite disappointed and dissatisfied with the taste as a mixer for my Rum based cocktails. It kind of takes over and made my cocktails less enjoyable. I will pass on this and shelf it as a last resort.. your mileage may vary Just my $.02
Full taste that mixes great with tonic. Go to mixed rum summer afternoon cocktail

Taste
Caramel and brown sugar followed by butterscotch and spices.
Nice but quite strong, has to be diluted. It's almost an overproof rum.

British Navy Pusser's Rum 47,75%
8
/10
out of 10
Alkohol: 47,75 %
Původ: Britské Panenské ostrovy
Aroma: Klasická rumová vůně, kůže, náplň rumových pralinek ale v hutnější a silnější formě, sladce kořeněná. Kandované ovoce, datle a fíky. (85 b)
Chuť: Dost silný, tipoval bych určitě víc procent alkoholu. Sladce štiplavý, se silnou kořenitostí, která je hodně pikantní a dlouho přetrvává v dochuti. S vodou je tento rum sametovější, krémový. (85 b)
Body: 85
Shrnutí: Měl jsem miniaturu koupenou z Diosu. Přímo jsem srovnával s verzí 75%, a byl to ve výsledku vyrovnaný souboj. Kupodivu štiplavějším a ostřejším dojmem působila tato slabší verze.
