Pusser's British Navy Rum 50th Anniversary 54.5% 700ml is a special limited edition release to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Black Tot Day. This unique blend reflects the original Royal Navy blend and is produced by Pusser's Rum Ltd, founded in 1979 by Charles Tobias. The rum is a product of five stills from Guyana and Trinidad, with a highlight being the Greenheart double wooden pot still dating back to 1732. The blend was put together at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados, resulting in a 7-year-old tropically aged rum.
Tasting notes for Pusser's 50th Anniversary Rum include a nose of raisin, dark chocolate, aniseed, burnt brown sugar, and nutmeg. The mouth reveals spicy, rich raisin caramel with hints of butteriness and an unctuous texture. A touch of toffee, dark chocolate, and ginger add complexity, with a wave of mocha. The overall impression is decent but slightly lacking compared to other blends, scoring 83 points.
Reviewer personal opinion on Pusser's 50th Anniversary Rum is that it is a good quality rum with interesting flavors, but may not stand out compared to other premium blends. Overall, it is a worthwhile pick for those looking to experience a historic Navy rum blend.
The 50th Anniversary edition commemorates 50 years since Black Tot Day, the last day the Royal Navy issued rum rations to sailors, on July 31, 1970.
This edition is limited to 5000 bottles.
The rum is produced using five stills, three from Guyana and two from Trinidad, including the historic Greenheart double wooden pot still from the Port Mourant Estate.
The ABV of this rum is 54.5%, which is the same as the original Navy blend.
Pusser's 50th Anniversary Rum is a commendable and well-crafted rum. While it may not stand out against some premium blends, it certainly holds its own with a balanced profile of intriguing flavors. For its historic significance and quality, it is a worthy addition to any rum collection.
