Pusser's Gunpowder Proof 3-Year

Tons of flavor here! Smooth mouth feel with slight burn on the swollow. Flavors of chocolate, raisin, burnt carmel, and molasses. A shade to sweet for me, but this almost goes unnoticed because of the flavor explosion. Same flavors on a long warming finish. One of the best overproofs in my book.

Základný rum tohto brandu, British Navy Blue Label, som hodnotil cca pred rokom, vtedy mi moc nesadol pre svoju intenzívnu ťažkú chuť, s doprovodom pachuti slivovice. Teraz otváram silnejšieho súrodenca s voltážou 54,5%, rovnakou, ako mali v minulosti rumy britských námorníkov, ktorí si takto zabezpečovali pri každodennej náročnej rutine dostatočnú úroveň morálky. Farba je tmavšia, vôňa znovu hutná a intenzívna, no veľmi príjemná a pestrá. Vyššie percento alkoholu je samozrejme okamžite poznať na jazyku, no pri opatrnom dúšku je rum stále v pohode piteľný. Tóny sú veľmi podobné ako pri prv spomenutom Blue Label, mám silný dojem, že sa jedná len o jeho koncentrovanejšiu formu. Karamel, koža, ťažký ovocný lekvár, pripálené hrozienka, trocha škorice, určite je tam viac pre mňa ťažšie definovateľných odtieňov. Výhodou je, že v horúcich dňoch sa človek nemusí báť prihodiť pár kociek ľadu, ani po zriedení nezostane v pohári planý nápoj. Rum je jemne nasládly, nepôsobí našťastie dojmom prílišného dochucovania. Na konci trochu zhorkne, celkový dojem je ale solídny. Za dané peniaze skutočne veľa muziky, bezpečne sa vrátim aj k prvému skúšanému. Je to úplne iná káva ako tuctové "vanilka-karamel" typy, ktoré človek bez nejakej svojbytnosti/identity stretáva čoraz častejšie. Subjektívne 6-7, tento druh je každopádne u mňa na vzostupe, palec hore.

I am already a fan for the blue Pusser's rum. This one has the same taste, but with very strong alcohol. I can't wait for the winter to take this on a ski trip with me as it warms me up so well (both the body and the soul).

A great navy-style rum, bottled at navy-proof. It has a bold flavor of Demerara rum and that typical navy-style component of molasses or burnt caramel, and works great in cocktails.

Dark mahogany in color. On the nose it's very complex, multilayer mix of sweet burnt caramel, leather, nutmeg, oak, dark toffee, cinnamon, very nice. What a rush on palate, I get lots of spices, nice warm alcohol taste (thanks to overproofing) leather, oak, nutmeg and cinnamon. Not so sweet as scent was. Burnt caramel lingers with many spices very long time.
Indeed, an upgrade of the original version. This grows some hair on your chest, in a positive way.
I recommend.

54,5 ABV is not for the faint of heart, but this is a pretty interesting rum. The ethanol and almost acetone smell does overpower everything else a little bit, bit overall this is pretty nice. Caramel and sweetness does come through.

Damn, put this in your oesophagus and it is directly absorbed into you blood stream from there. Handy! I really like this rum but due to tax in Australia I'm not sure its better than, the original and best, Pussers. Admittedly the higher abv is great for the 'Black Flip' in winter (PDT).

From the opening aroma and the mouth feel this was like nothing else I’ve tried in my young adventure. Glad it wasn’t the first I tried but equally happy it is a benchmark for what’s next. Don’t think this will be an everyday sipper, mainly due its strength, but it’s burnt spiciness with some dark chocolate will keep me coming back

A rum to use as a toast, I drink this neat like a shot as the Navy intended so would only have a couple as it packs a punch. This can be mixed with water to make what is known as Grog..but why waste a good rum 😆

Nice molasses, caramel and mild liquorice flavour. Enjoyable mixed but not a sipper for me. 2 drinks in a sitting is enough for me with this rum. The burn was minimal, as was the depth of flavour - to be expected for a spirit so young. Good because its different to my much preferred Bajun style, but only gets a 7 for its lack of wow factor. Too much competition to be a repeat purchase.
