Virgin Islands, British | Aged | 40% ABV
Pusser’s British Navy Rum 15-Year is a blend of five rums from Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados which are produced in mainly wooden pot stills. The blend is aged for 15 years.
The company derives its name from the British Navy 'Purser' who distributed a daily 'tot' of rum ration to each sailor - a tradition which lasted from 1655 until 1970. In 1979 Charles Tobias obtained the rights to blend the original recipe of the British Navy Rum.
Pusser's British Navy Rum is casually known as “Nelson’s Blood” as a nod to the famous death of Admiral Nelson. After being mortally wounded in a naval battle in 1805, Nelson’s body was preserved in a barrel of rum.

This is awesome rum if you are in the mood for it. My first experience was not too good but second one revealed all possibilities of this rum.
Aroma has sweet notes a taste includes tones of orange and smokey wood a bit reminds me whiskey. But all that round and smooth and very enjoyable.

Very nice. Reminded me alot of the eldorado and considering it is a blend including Guyana im not surprised. Very smooth with almost no burn to it. I got lots of dark caramel and some fruity almost like you get from sherry. Nice oak and vanilla but not overpowering. There was a hint of baking spices and cinnamon but not too pronouced.
The color is very nice amber with thick legs when you swirl it around.
I tried it in a mind eraser and it was much better than the original style. I wouldn't waste it in other cocktails though it is better striaght up, no need for water or ice but feel free if you prefer.

A beautiful blend, with lots of spices and a strong assertive wood and liquorice finish.
You can actually taste the portion of the blend originating from Demerara Distillers Port Mourant Wooden Pot still, which as been part of every Navy Rum blend from the past 200 years. So in a way this is like a travel back in time in a bottle.
It's price here in Quebec is the drawback. It actually went from approximately 80$CAD a few months ago to now 97,25$. For a few dollars more, I can get the El Dorado 21, which is 100% Guyanese and just overall more flavourful and complex.
Still a must for the serious collectors

Despite it being warming stuff this is surprisingly smooth and can be drunk neat but I prefer with ginger beer.

After I really enjoyed the Blue Label Pusser's I decided to buy one of the 15yo for 35€ on amazon, what was really reasonable and a great price. Normallly this Rum is more in the 45-50€ area. And yes this Rum has everything. Deep, complex smell, heavy long lasting taste. The only questions is, if it is worth to pay the double price of the Blue lable, which is yet great.

En dejlig sød rom med smag af eg.
Den virker helt som en sherry.
En rigtig kraftig mande rom til søen folk.

Loaded with added sugar, which completely masks this rum's true flavors. Big disappointment.

Molasses, wood and iodine on the nose. This carries through to the palate which also has a wonderful acidity present, to leave a really mouth watering drop. The length is persistent if a little medium bodied. Sophisticated, complex and a really good rum. 8½.

I'm in complete harmony with the analysis of Da'rum from Germany: This rum is sweet with a strong touch of vanilla and a very long woody finish.
I presume that the woody fnish is the reason why some people do not like this rum, mainly people enjoying sweet rums. I must admit that I've hesitated between 8 and 9 ... Compared to its equivalent 15 years El Dorado Special Reserve for example, I find this rum a bit less complex and fruity.
My ideal rating would have been an 8.5 because it is superior to the Clement Vieux 6 yo agricole rum (rated 8) with which I discovered the world of aged rums.
I completely agree with the advice of Scott T considering the rating of Verner Canatsey: This should never have been so much underrated. My biigest disappointment with an extra old rum was about the Diplomatico Reserva rum (6 yo, rated 6) which is definitely very dry, slightly astringent, very tannic with notes of spices, predominantly pepper ... Verner, never try this one ^^!
