Pusser’s ‘Gunpowder Proof’ is a traditional Royal Navy style rum produced at original Admiralty strength and in accordance with the Admiralty’s blending recipe last used when the Royal Navy discontinued its daily ration on 31 July 1970.

On the nose, pungent molasses, treacle, honey and vanilla.  It’s full-bodied with a more enhanced flavour profile than the lower proof blue label.  The finish is long and despite its strength, it is smooth and mellow.
