Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

A real Navy rum with a kick. unfortunately Tot call has been eliminated from her majesty's Navy and when it was still there I remember the rum being mixed with water but the flavor and bite was still there and Pusser's brought back those memories with a substantial improvement in flavor and bite. One of my favorites. Not for the faint of heart, its a strong course rum.

Painkillers. Pusser's was made for Painkillers. I tried sipping it once and recall it being very rough. I'll need to revisit it with a proper glass.

This being 'the' navy rum, my expectations were quite high. It is not a bad rum for sure, but the taste is mediocre at best. Reading reviews of Black Tot Rum or
British Royal Navy Imperial Reserve Rum, one can not help but ask "Why is this called the original British Navy Rum?". I have not had the original, but this is clearly something very different.
It is far from bad, but also far from good.

Great taste, but for somebody it can be little bit strong.

Good color, nose a bit harsh with leather and sweet notes, maybe prunes. I find the palate a bit strong for sipping or on the rocks. Astringent at first with strong notes of wood but undefined.

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.

A nice blend of flavors, but a bit harsh on its own. Excellent in mixed drinks as it adds depth of flavor.

Pusser's is an excellent price-point rum that I try to keep on hand whenever possible

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.

I tried this for the first time today. It's aroma was slightly sweet, but still had a hint behind it that told me that it wasn't messing around. Not sweet enough for me to enjoy it on a regular basis, but I am ok with that. I pour a little in my glass, and it is very light at first, but gains depth when you pour more. I mix my Sprite with it, like I typically do, and take a sip. I am unsure of what to think about it at first. I can tell my mixture choice was wrong, but the rum wasn't bad. I want to give it a higher rating than I did, because I can tell it has potential. For those that like to drink things straight, I am sure you will enjoy this one, just make sure it is only slightly chilled. I do not think it would fair very well ice cold, or warm. That also may be my preference though. As for those of us that like to mix, do not just do it with Sprite. Find an older rum sour mixture, and I am sure this will go well. I am talking squeeze the fruit old mixture. Not the sour mix, even though it may work also. I plan on making a painkiller with this sometime this weekend. Hopefully it fairs well.
