Pussers British Navy Original Admiralty Rum is a classic British Navy style, inspired by the recipe used to produce the tot given to sailors as their daily ration until Black Tot Day, 31 July 1970.
Pussers British Navy Original Admiralty Rum was first inspired by the original. For many years, sailors of Great Britain’s Royal Navy were issued a daily ration or ‘tot’ of rum by the ship’s ‘Purser’ (corrupted by the sailors to Pusser’s). A ritual that continued up until July 31st 1970; the end of a 325 year naval tradition was marked on British ships around the world with sailors wearing black armbands and conducting mock funerals, this was known as Black Tot day. Pusser’s Rum was resurrected in 1980 by ex-Navy Seal, Charles Tobias. After much convincing he was allowed to reproduce the rum to the specifications of the Admiralty blend.
These days, Pussers British Navy Original Admiralty Rum is heavily influenced by rum distilled in the famed Demerara Distiller’s double wooden pot still of the Port Mourant estate, which first went into production in 1732. Although relocated and refurbished over the years, the double wooden pot stills continue to be the bedrock of Navy rum and a vital part of the distillation process that produces superbly enhanced aroma and flavour. The “Greenheart” staves of these old wooden stills have absorbed decades of unique, organic flavouring compounds that provide a deep flavour far beyond that of mass-produced rums.
Following distillation, Pussers British Navy Original Admiralty Rum is aged for a minimum of three years—imparting additional smoothness and flavour. The tropical climate in Guyana helps spirits reach their maturity faster than spirits aged in cooler climates.
On the nose, Pussers Blue Label Rum reveals classic Demerara sugar, molasses, dried fruits, island spices, and caramel. On the pallet puts on display a full-bodied rum that is well rounded and perfect for cocktails. The finish is long finish with a mild spiciness.
