Pusser's Gunpowder Proof 3-Year

Very full nose, with strong raisin notes. Within my experience, this feels a bit like the notes of a Spanish style but with the pungency of a Jamaican to back it up. On the palate, quite forceful and alcoholic at first but quickly recedes to leave lingering cola and spice notes. A great sipper and amazing value at the price!

Love this rum, lots and lots of caramel and toffee on the nose and palate, really viscous, the alcohol is not overpowering at all even though this is a high proof rum. For about $35 this is must have in your bar.

This is Pusser's 40% on steroids, intense English style rum, good mix of Guyana and other Caribbean colonies, spicy, with the right amount of sugar and molasses to counterbalance the strong alcohol content, yet it keeps the complexity of the less potent brother and takes it on a new level. The profile is raisins, molasses, demerara sugar, caramel, oak, butter, all spicy and strong in the nose and in the taste, intense and warming. It is a good company for winter walks where just a small sip from the hip flask will bring smile on your face, it also mixes well with tea or just about any beverage.

Drsný rum pro drsné námořníky. Silný a nekompromisní každým douškem. V chuti dominuje rašelinou silně vypálený dubový sud po skotské, ve vůni dub, rašelina a jód.
Je ostřejší a je to znát. Není to nic pro milovníky sladkých a jemným rumů. Je to gunpowder - střelný prach, trhavina!!!

Gillar smaken som är intressant men känns lite rivig och spretig.

Love Pussers. Great rums and this is no exception. Smoothest overproof I have tried. A true navy style rum. Sippable. Strong as you might expect but has body with oak, coffee and some faint apple notes. If the finish were longer I would rate this an 8. Very good stuff. I like the navy and 15 year olds better but this gives you a lot of bang and delivers it tastefully.

This is another outstanding rum from Pussers. With clear molasses and woody flavors. The is an excellent sipping and mixing rum.

Proper dark stuff which makes you think of better times in the Royal Navy where they served this rum to the sailors prior to 1970! Will kill scurvy, weevils and all other nasty irritating pests!

Kupferfarbenes leichtes Mahagoni im Glas.
Im der Nase reichhaltig, schwer und vielschichtig. Herzhaft erdige, vegetabile Düfte aus dem Wald, Holz frisch geschlagen, gesägt, gewachst, vermodert und mit Moos bewachsen. Dunkel gebranntes Karamell gemischt mit Lakritze und mit Vanille verfeinert. Da sind noch die überreifen Früchte und frischgebackenen Brötchen mit Schokostreusel.
Im Gaumen angenehm warm und mundfüllend. Zart-bitteres Karamell zupft an deinen Geschmacksknospen herum und machen sie bereit für die folgenden Aromen. Vanille, Toffee und Lakritze mit einer grossen Ladung Holz angerauscht, Kräuter und Früchte ziehen elegant nach.
Im Abgang schön lang und lecker, etwas Asche, Karamell und Kakao.
Ein toller Guyana Rum für Geniesser und Overproof Liebhaber. Nichts für Süss-Rum-Lovers.

Copper-coloured light mahogany in the glass.
In the nose rich, heavy and complex. Hearty, earthy, vegetarian scents from the forest, wood freshly cut, sawn, waxed, rotten and covered with moss. Dark roasted caramel mixed with liquorice and refined with vanilla. There are also the overripe fruits and freshly baked rolls with chocolate sprinkles.
On the palate pleasantly warm and mouth filling. Delicate bitter caramel plucks your taste buds and makes them ready for the following flavours. Vanilla, toffee and liquorice with a big load of wood inebriated, herbs and fruits follow elegantly.
In the finish nicely long and tasty, some ash, caramel and cocoa.
A great Guyana Rum for connoisseurs and overproof lovers. Nothing for sweet rum lovers.

The aroma is very full and vibrant with soaked raisins, dark chocolate mousse, sweet pipe tobacco, cinnamon and flambeed banana. It's hard not to like that composition.
The taste is not surprisingly a bit "explosive" given the 54,5% vol. but it doesn't seem completely out of control. An intense flurry of toffee, nutmeg, ginger, honey, black tea and oak washes over the tongue but I don't feel mistreated by the strong spirit. The tingling spices linger for a good while, eventually leaving me with a warm feeling in the chest and the subtle taste of rum soaked raisins.
I'm starting to think that quite a few of the cheaper overproof rum are really good value, because you get so much taste compared to the majority of rum in this pricrange. Another great example of overproof, ridiculous value is smith n' cross.
