Tasting notes

Nose

Pungent molasses, treacle, toffee, honey and vanilla, with oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

Palate

Full-bodied, with a richer, more intense flavour than the lower-strength Blue Label.

Finish

Long, and surprisingly smooth and mellow for its strength.

Full product description

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof is blended to the Royal Navy Admiralty specification last used before the daily tot was abolished in 1970. It is bottled at 54.5%, the 'gunpowder proof' strength at which rum-soaked gunpowder would still ignite. 'Pusser' is navy slang for the purser who issued the rum, and the rum itself is distilled in Guyana and contains no added flavourings.

Rich in molasses, treacle and spice, it is the classic base for the Painkiller and a superb Navy Grog. A splash of water opens it up for sipping.
