Pusser's 15 Year Old

I have just been to the Black watch pub in aberfeldy scotland , and was amazed at the rum collection that the owner stocks, as he served with the royal marines I was not suprized that ha likes a we dram ow the nelsons blood, he took pitty on me and offered me the 15 year old pussers rum ,you can't belive the incredible flavours that burst in me mouth ,this is what heaven must be like .

I have served 30 years in the Royal Navy, so I have a reasonable idea of what rum should taste like, this 15 year old Pusser's rum is about as near as you will ever get to the issue that was so in the RN, although officers didn't get the daily issue, I have had many a tot in my time. Excellent brew.

Iwas in the mob (navy) for 22 years and normally I am now a whisky man, but the pussers rum is saved for special occasions,it is the same stuff we drank upto it,s sad withdrawl,they said it wasn,t compatible with the modern navy! I still have the half pint pussers glass I drank my last tot from.HMS FORTH (Singapore) very sad I know but this it what memories are made of. CHEERS

I was in the Mob for 11 years three months 15 Days coming out in April 1970. The only reason I left was the stopping of the tot. Like Greenie I am a whisky man now but like the special occasions when my wonderful wife buys me a bottle of Pussers. p.s. What would a Cmdr know about drinking rum??????

This made an old sea dog very happy on his 90th birthday.....Cheers

As an American, and born after 1970 I never experienced life in the RN with a tot. However I have tasted many a rum and find that anything with the blue label and a White Ensign on it wonderful, this 15 year old is the best of the lot. Rule Britannia!
