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.

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.
Maybe not top notch, but certainly something I'd be happy enough to drink as part of my weekly allowance. Caramel and a hint of lime. Maybe some vanilla in there. Dark amber pour.
Un rhum de de la Navy avec une histoire sympa. Un nez frais et léger sur le caramel. A l'attaque une petite chaleur avec un boisé très fin, encore ce caramel mais pas envahissant et une note d'orange ou d'agrume. La finale est persistante laissant un goût de caramel une dernière fois. Se boit très bien. Très bon rapport qualité prix puisqu'il se trouve facilement a moins de 30€!
A strong rough taste which made it less easy to enjoy just sipping. I expected a bit more in flavour given the often superb reviews. It warms you up for sure, for which it deserves credit, but still a six as not so memorable. Based on tasting a 2cl sample.
It's a bit hard to believe this is only a 3 year old rum because it is very smooth. My only dislike is the pungent apricot note. I decided to try it in a rum and coke and it was great. For the price it's a pretty nice sipper or mixer if you don't mind apricot. 6.5

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.
