Pussers Rum Night Watch Black Strap 70 cl 40%

There is navy rum, and then there is Black Strap. Pusser's Night Watch takes the classic British navy style and turns up the darkness with a dose of some of the world's finest blackstrap molasses.

Expert Description

Pusser's Rum Night Watch Black Strap is a Blended Rum from Guyana and the USA, bottled at 40% with no added colour.

While most Pusser's rums are made exclusively from Guyanese rum, Night Watch takes a different path, blending Guyanese rum - some of it distilled on the historic wooden still - with an American rum made from Louisiana blackstrap molasses, distilled at Hilton Head Distillery in South Carolina. The release was launched to mark Trafalgar Day on 21 October and is limited to a small production run.

The combination of the two rum styles produces a deep, dark and characterful rum in the classic navy style, clearly inspired by the rum historically issued to sailors in the British Royal Navy.
