Today's Pusser's Rum, known as the single malt of rum is still produced in exact accordance with the Admiralty's specifications for rum. Unlike most rums, Pusser's uses no flavoring agents. It is 100% natural. In 2001, Pusser's was awarded the Gold Medal - World's Premier Dark Rum at the International Wine & Spirits Festival. In 2003, Pusser's Rum won a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold Medal at the same festival in 2005.
PUSSER’S is the original Navy Rum as served on board warships of Great Britain’s Royal Navy for more than 350 years from about 1655 to 1970. It was a part of the life and times of Nelson and the old navy so aptly described in the novels of Patrick O’Brian? PUSSER’S 350 years of Liquid History has become the standard by which other dark rums are measured. PUSSER’S was never sold or offered to the public until 1979. Prior to this, if a rum connoisseur managed to obtain a tot or two, it was valued for a very special occasion.
Pusser’s 15 Year True Aged Rum has a rich chestnut mahogany color, crystal clear clarity with no sediment, and is luxuriously full bodied. The taste delivers what the complex aroma promises, beginning with a burst of classic Demerera brown sugar, molasses and caramel. Notes of leather, tobacco, dried sultanas, nutmeg, clove, cassia and soft oak follow. The finish is exceptionally smooth, complex and lingering.
