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.
By far the best proprietary "TOT" available.......luckily we have a sympathetic supplier and reduces his profit as much as possible. We get through about 12 - 15 bottles per year, all dished up from an old "small ships barrel" (that leaks) so have to have a bucket inside LOL
Joined navy 1954, drew tot from age of. 20, dischard Jan 1970, and now 75 years old still having daily tot (neatters) but find this world beating rum exspensive but doing my best. Idefy you to find better.
oops forgot review star rating - it only gives 5 stars - deserves many more!!
Joined Royal Navy 1957 starting drawing my tot on 20th birthday (1960) - never looked back! Best rum ever and still have a tot everyday - nectar of the gods
Forgot to add the 5 stars this so richly deserves
