In late 2018, Pusser's relaunched it's fantastic 15 Year Old Navy Rum with a shiny new bottle to match! Previously this was made with a blend of rums from Trinidad and Guyana, though this newer edition is made exclusively with rum from Guyana aged for at least 15 years and bottled at 40% ABV. The name harks back to the days when sailors in the British Navy would be given a daily ration of rum (a tot, as it was affectionately known) by the ship's purser.
Chocolate and fudge, followed by hints of black liquorice, toasted walnuts, cassia, black pepper, stewed plums and dried apple slices. Underlying coffee warmth lingers.
Undrinkable. Bitter after taste. I have never been so disappointed in a drink. Apparently the Trinidad distillers won't export the aged rums including the 15 yr old, hence the change. However, this is horrible.
Why have they done away with the Red Label which uses the Admiralty recipe and replaced it with this and charge an extra tenner? What were they thinking? My Grandad didn't drink this, I want tradition.
Wow such a price hike for in volume both content and alcohol context.
