Pussers British Navy 15 years old Charred Oak Barrels Rum 70 cl 40%

Until 31 July 1970, known as Black Tot Day, every British naval officer received his daily rum ration. This 15 year old edition recreates the historic, Admiralty-approved blend.

Expert Description

Pusser's British Navy 15 Year is a Caribbean Rum aged 15 years in charred oak barrels and bottled at 40%.

The rum builds on the Admiralty-approved blend that was historically heavily influenced by rum from the double wooden pot stills of Port Mourant, Guyana, in operation since 1732. Pusser's Rum carries on the tradition of the daily rum ration that all British naval personnel received up until Black Tot Day in 1970, and has been dubbed "the single malt of rum" by Forbes for its craftsmanship.

The result is a rich, complex rum, where Demerara sugar and dark dried fruits meet caramelised biscuit and spice.

Tasting Notes
