If you love rum, then you'll know that nothing beats the taste and overall quality of British Royal Navy rum. The good news is that there are several exquisite types of Royal Navy rum that you can try.

Are you wondering which ones are worth investing in? Keep reading to explore the different types of Royal Navy rum.

Pusser's Rum - Original Admiralty Rum

The Original Admiralty version of Pusser's Royal Navy rum brings to life the rum rations that those sailors of bygone days used to enjoy. Blended in Guyana, the Admiralty edition of Pusser's is as bold as it is British.

The flavor is full-bodied and is composed of a spicy layer held together by buttercream smoothness. You can even pick up on a hint of smokiness. The island spices ensure that the rum isn't overpoweringly sweet.

Feel free to enjoy it on its own or mix it in with some delicious recipes.

Pusser's Rum - Gunpowder Proof

Pusser's Navy Rum also has a Gunpowder Proof variation. This has a nice mixture of warmth and strength without being overwhelming. There's a symphony's worth of flavorful notes, including molasses, bananas, caramel, toffee, and more.

Some of the spices include a hint of nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and even vanilla. To balance out the sweetness, there's a dark dimension of murkiness and brininess that ties everything together.

If you love Navy rum, then there's a good chance you'll love Pusser's Gunpowder Proof.

Pusser's Rum - Aged 15 Years

If you're looking for the best of the best of British Royal Navy rums, then you'll certainly want several bottles of Pusser's Aged 15 Years rum in your alcohol cabinet. To ensure quality, it's crafted in smaller batches.
