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.
Nr. 1 is Smiths & Cross Traditional Jamaican Rum, but this is almost as good. No need for water. It's perfectly balanced. Just enjoy it in it's undiluted glory.
Still have the occasional tot with water 2and one
Definitely we’ll worth a taste. I was introduced to it by an old 2nd World War Submariner and U Boat hunter.
This was served in copious amounts at my cousins funeral. He was ex HM Subs man. I drank this all night and didn’t have any hint of a hangover the next day. This was alcohol made to perfection.. Best served when you are on your own for the evening / night. Far too nice to share
You can’t go wrong with Pusser’s, especially the Gunpowder Proof. I could force it down if I have to. No seriously it is a great rum. If you haven’t tried it do yourself a favour and buy buy buy you will not regret it. Actually you will regret it when it runs out so buy two bottles, when you have finished one order another.
