Description

Pusser’s ‘Gunpowder Proof’ is a traditional Royal Navy style rum produced at original Admiralty strength and in accordance with the Admiralty’s blending recipe last used when the Royal Navy discontinued its daily ration on 31 July 1970.

Gunpowder Proof: Prior to the invention of the hydrometer, the Royal Navy ship’s “Pusser” shutdown claims of watering down sailors’ daily tots by dousing a bit of gunpowder in the rum and attempting to light. If the mixture ignited, the rum was “at proof.” If it didn’t, the Pusser might find himself tossed to sea.

Alc/Vol: 54.5%

Color: Clear, dark coppery amber with burnished copper highlights
Nose: Pungent molasses, treacle, toffee, honey and vanilla with oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger
Body: Full-bodied with a more enhanced flavour profile than the lower proof Blue Label
Finish: Long finish, and despite its strength, smooth and mellow

Rum

Pusser's

Pusser’s Rum carries the spirit of the sea in every bottle. For over 300 years, it was the official rum of the British Royal Navy, issued daily to sailors as part of their rations—a tradition known as the “tot.” When the navy ended the practice in 1970, the original recipe might have been lost to history. But Pusser’s revived it, preserving the exact blend once enjoyed by sailors across the globe. Made in accordance with Admiralty specifications and aged in oak casks, Pusser’s is more than a rum—it’s a legacy of adventure, discipline, and deep-sea tradition. Each sip echoes the age of sail and the enduring bond between rum and the sea.
