Pusser's Gunpowder Proof Black Label Rum

Pusser's gunpowder proof black label rum (previously known as blue label) is a higher proof traditional British Naval rum, produced using the blending recipe from the Admiralty.

  • A dark amber gold in colour
  • 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 with an incredibly long dark finish

Pusser's is the original Navy rum and they still make it in accordance with Admiralty Regulations for rum. Prior to the invention of the hydrometer, the ship's "Purser" or "Pusser", shutdown claims of watering down the sailors' daily rum tot by mixing it with a few grains of gunpowder to see if it would burn.

Igniting the mixture meant it as "At Proof". If it didn't, the Pusser might find himself tossed to sea. Pusser's rum was at gunpowder strength until July 31st 1970. Known as "Black Tot Day".
