When you raise a glass of Pusser's Rum, you're tasting liquid history! Pusser's is the Royal Navy rum. The recipe for the original admiralty blend was secured by Founder Charles Tobias in 1979 and is now known across the world as one of the most historic and authentic rums available today. Since the days of wooden ships and iron men, Pusser's Rum was initially distributed onboard the Royal Navy ships twice daily - and a double tot before battle and after for a job well done! Distilled in 300-year-old wooden pot stills deep in Guyana's Demerara Valley, the distillate is then aged for a minimum of 3 years in charred Oak barrels. The rich flavour obtained by our unique distilling and aging process can not be replicated by typical rums that use modern metal column stills. Pusser’s is all natural - no sugar, artificial flavouring or colouring is ever added to our rum. Obtain your taste of liquid history today!
INTRODUCING THE GUNPOWDER PROOF SPICED
Gunpowder Spiced
£42.95
THE STORY: Prior to the introduction of the Sikes Hydrometer, in 1816, the ship’s Purser, or “Pusser”, tested the strength of the daily issue by mixing neat rum, with a little water, to which was added a few gunpowder grains. When the mixture was heated through a burning glass, the gunpowder ignited, and the rum was served at that strength. When the method was tested by hydrometer, it was found to be 109% proof {54.5% ABV}. Consequently, the Pusser’s rum remained at “Gunpowder” strength, 109% Proof, until the daily issue was terminated, on 31st July 1970, known as Black Tot Day.
