Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

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.

For being a heavy Navy rum I assumed I would love this. But the more I sipped the less I liked. I may just have to keep this for The Painkiller Cocktail only. Interested to see what the Red Label is like. Maybe it's more my wheelhouse.

Tart, almost too sweet of a taste, medium finish that doesn't get any better. Limited spice but still present. Almost a spoiled fruit.

This is a strong rum with a bold front end that would choke a bourbon lover. I didn’t like it. Might be good for a mixer, but not on rocks or neat.

Ho voluto provare questo rum pur non avendo mai sentito la marca. Purtroppo è troppo alcolico tanto da non sentire l'aroma del rum stesso.

This rum combines tastes from tequila and calvados with whisky..

I bought this rum because the bottle sold me. I found the taste quite strong and not something I was used to and I rated it maybe a bit low. I may be ready now to try it again and possible bump up my rating.

Cork fell apart when I tried to open it. Not a good start. Lots of after taste. Would do in a pinch.

Overpowering flavor and aroma. Basically an overly sweet stone fruit. It is smooth, but the flavor and aroma are not for me.

I was hoping this would have been closer to the Pussers 15 year old but unfortunately it's not. It has a similair smell but the taste is harsher and less refined. Maybe I'll try it in a mixed drink next time. Hopefully that'll make this more enjoyable.
