Pusser’s Rum is produced on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands and is named after the Royal Naval Slang for a purser, a ship’s supply officer.
For more than 300 years sailors of the Royal Navy were issued a daily rum ration or “tot”, a highly welcome daily comfort when one was away from home for many months.
Pussers British Navy Rum is the same Admiralty blend of five West Indian rums as issued on board British warships, and it is with the Admiralty’ blessing and approval that Pusser’s is now available to the consumer.
Today’s Pusser’s is still produced in exact accordance with the Admiralty’s specifications for rum.
Like the old Blue Label, Pussers Rum Gunpowder Proof is a 3 year old blend rum produced in column and pot stills sourced from various countries in the Carribean.
Unlike most rums, Pussers Rum uses no flavouring agents. It is 100% natural. Pusser’s is said by connoisseurs to be more like a fine brandy than a rum, with a full, rich flavour and a smoothness which are unsurpassed.
