Celkově 4/10

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11/28/18. A foundational rum that must be in your bar if you want to serve a Painkiller and don't want to be sued. Musty aroma. Earthy. Robust and a bit medicinal. Perhaps not to be consumed by itself neat.

Smell is weird but not that bad. Molasses overtakes the whole tasting experience.
Decent mixer, but nowhere near my go-to.

Became one of my favorites as has a nice mix of favors. Not a sweeet one.
Perfectly fine as a sipper or a mixer.

I need coke to even get close to that rum I have no idea why it's rated so height

For a young rum this is fantastic, I love the nose on this, has a lot of funk mixed with sweetness, and the palate is rich and smooth. Very transparent with what they are doing here, chilled-filtered and 3 years old age statement. For only 22 dollars here in the USA this hard to beat.

great funk rum with "finish that goes on forever" (c). no reason to describe all nuances, cos everyone who somehow appears at this site, should definitely try this one at least once. as for me I'm gonna enjoy it again and again

It's not a true navy rum, that would have to be at least 54.5% (109 proof), so it's more of a navy style rum. Pusser also makes a "Gunpowder" version that already meets this "standard". In this case it is a 40% blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana and Trinidad with no exact age statement.

Bottle: Traditional
Colour: Gold to amber

Nose: Pleasant but unremarkable. There are caramel, cane sugar, dried fruits (bananas, apples), apple pie, spices (pepper, nutmeg) and finally a hint of wood.
Mouth: Pleasant but quite strong at 40%. Later on, the sharpness decreases. It could be called woody and spicy taste. There are caramel, cloves, nutmeg, molasses, cocoa and a woodiness to bitterness.
Finish: Medium-long.

Conclusion: Pusser's British Navy Rum is a nice and dry rum for everyday sipping. It is intended more for the non-sweet rum drinkers.
Rating: 7.5/10

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.

Clearly pot distilled, as there is a lot of funkiness on the nose, and some when tasting. There is also some heft and sweetness there. Some caramel and maybe chocolate. A bit of alcohol.
