How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Rich molasses and dark brown sugar dominate, followed by dried fruits like raisins and prunes. Hints of warm baking spices, particularly cinnamon and nutmeg, emerge alongside subtle notes of oak and vanilla from barrel aging.

Palate: Full-bodied and smooth with a syrupy texture. Intense flavors of caramel and toffee lead, complemented by dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and a touch of tropical fruit. The characteristic Demerara sugar sweetness is balanced by a pleasant oakiness and warm spices.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of molasses, dark cocoa, and subtle smoky tobacco. A mild peppery heat builds, reminiscent of ginger and cloves, leaving a pleasantly dry sensation that invites another sip.

Pusser's British Navy Rum is crafted using a unique blend of five stills, including the world's last remaining wooden pot still, which imparts distinctive flavors and aromas to the spirit. The rum is then aged in charred oak barrels, resulting in a rich, full-bodied product that closely resembles the original Royal Navy rum ration.

Pusser's British Navy Rum is blended to the exact specifications of the Admiralty's recipe used to produce the rum given to sailors as their daily ration until "Black Tot Day" in 1970, making it a liquid time capsule of naval history.

The term "Pusser's" is actually naval slang for the purser, the ship's supply officer who would distribute the daily rum ration, leading to the phrase "Pusser's rum" which eventually became the brand name.

Pusser's Rum contains no added sugar, flavoring, or coloring agents. Its rich, dark color and complex flavor profile come solely from aging in charred oak barrels, some of which previously held whisky or bourbon.
