Pusser's British Navy Blue Label ABV40 3-Year

I like it in a Pain Killer. Other than that I haven’t found a good use for it. It’s not bad but has a flavor that’s hard for me to describe. Not good for sipping. I’ve tried it in several other cocktails and it doesn’t work. Maybe in a Dark and Stormy because it seems similar to Gosling’s Black Seal.

The unmistakability of the rum is one of my quality criteria. If the nose and palate are then also delighted, it may be a second glass with pleasure. Pusser's has a high recognition value. Under the slightly alcoholic note, fine aromas are hidden. These also give mixed drinks, such as the Painkiller, a special note. I always like to use it again.

Not bad for the price. Great to use in sugary punch-like mixed drinks.

I first picked up a bottle of Pusser’s over a decade ago when I first started venturing in to the world of rum. Ever since, I’ve tried to always have some around.

It’s got a strong spicy and alcoholy aroma, with some wood and caramel notes, and something else I can’t quite place. Orange zest and hazelnut, maybe?

A gentle sip out of a glass provides a strong alcoholy bite along with a sweet caramelly oakiness. It burns my throat a tad as I swallow.

I’m not certain this is a rum to be drunk on its own; I feel like it’s better suited as an ingredient in a cocktail. It makes great rum sours and old fashioneds, and it also is strong enough to push through Coke, hot or iced tea, or most other drinks. I’ve never tried it in its trademarked drink, the Painkiller, but I’m certain it excels there, too. Best yet, it makes a good rum-infused coffee, if you’re the type of person (like me) that likes to roast your own coffee.

If you like a rum with personality, this is it. If you want the Jack Daniel’s of rum, look elsewhere and save the Pusser’s for me

7,4/10

Very nice complex flavor. I use this for my Navy Grog. Works well in place of many dark rums in cocktails. Cheers!

Once I tried it and now I always have a bottle at home. Smooth taste, rich flavor, amazing price.

Typical sweet heavy guayna´s demerara (for example El Dorado).
Sample from calendar 24 days of rum.

I bought a bottle on impulse after recommendations from two people I respect. After three tasting sessions I've gotta say if you want the flavor it's the rummiest thing I've yet come across that doesn't go way overboard on hogo. I accept that it's an acquired taste and I'll have to revisit it, I'm not knocking those who praise it neat...However all I got at my first tasting neat was strongly fermented rather sulphurous blackstrap molasses and harsh alcohol, not much more. Next I tried it with coconut water (my favorite mixer for mellower rums), and it somehow made it taste more bitter. Finally I added lime juice and a splash of club soda, and the flavor emerged...this stuff thrives when mixed with citrus, the harshness disappears. It's the crude stuff they used to serve the Royal Navy but it's also complicated...I'll be revisiting it to find a place for it in my life...at least for the duration of this bottle. I'll likely never try it neat again, it'll only serve as a very strong-flavored mixer I have to make adjustments for. I recommend that you try it just for the difference, this is actual historical rum that tastes like nothing we have around today. Like it or lump it, it's the Real Deal and seems to grow on you...you may spontaneously spout sea chanties after only two drinks. I only recommend that you cut it with something acidic, lime is working quite well as I write this....

After tasting a lot of different rums classified as english-style rums I didn't expected anything special from this one. But it surprised me. One of the best in a row. Maybe this one isn't so aromatic like jamaican rum, but it definetly it's perfect smoothed and warming.
