Pusser's 'Gunpowder Proof' Black Label (previously known as Blue Label) is a higher proof traditional British Naval rum, produced using the blending recipe from the Admiralty. Well loved, it picked up a Trophy at the International Spirits Challenge 2016.
The nose is full of dried fruits, dates, prunes, slightly overripe figs. The palate is very sweet, plenty of dark, syrupy, stewed fruits. An interesting pot still character with a pleasant muddiness. Full-bodied. The finish is incredibly long and dark.
The best of dark rums.. Pusser's gunpowder is my absolute favourite.. It has to be drunk neat.. add nothing, that only spoils perfection.
I have had the blue label Pusser's rum and was very happy with that. I tried this and was impressed with the rich taste. It's a smoother finish and a in depth flavour
An absolute favourite. Simply pour a healthy drop into your best glass , drop a cube of ice into it ,then enjoy!
I found Pusser's gunpowder proof rum when I gained a Royal Navy issue copper grog mug dating from 1951. It is great both as a sipper allowing the flavours to develop slowly in the mouth, or really nice with ice ,ginger beer and lime juice
I didn’t really like this at first, I found it a bit harsh. Then I found the bottle emptying quite quickly, and really miss it now it’s empty.
