Pusser‘s Rum 50th Anniversary Rum

Pusser’s 50th Anniversary, was released to celebrate 50 years since the Black Tot Day. It’s limited to 4498 bottles and I was lucky to get three of the last bottles for sale in Europe. It’s a blend of rum from three different DDL stills (quite a lot from the Port Mourant wooden double pot still I believe) and two different Trinidad stills. The five different distillates, then Three years old, was thereafter blended at WIRD in Barbados and aged for four more years before bottled at ABV 54,5%, same ABV as for Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof.

Sorry but: fuck the black tot anniversary editions. This is times really cool shit! Alcohol perfectly integrated, complex, spicy, intense and quaffable high 10. Surprising for a pussers! I find mega...🤤👏especially when you consider the RRP of under 50€!!!

Geruch mild und Geschmack dann würzig lang anhaltend

Easily the best Pusser‘s you can (could) find besides some of the older Nelson‘s Blood expressions at increased ABV.

I expected a bit more, but assume this also targets the mainstream market. It is well made and a bit on the sweeter side. Easy and pleasant to drink, the Alcohol is integrated well, but noticeable. Strong notes of Caramel. For the original price of ~50€ extremely good value for the money.

Very cool navy rum. Tree nuts, cinnamon, caramel, coffee, tiramisu, dried mango. Certainly a very good rum for the price.

in direct comparison with the Pusser's 50, the Black Tot 50 has a little more depth. On the nose are more red fruits and a slightly sour note, it also joins something musty. Whether this is due to the minimal proportions of 42-year-old Uitvlugt and original Navy Blend, I am not able to assess. The Pusser's 50, on the other hand, seems a bit more youthful, with a stronger accent on the caramel / vanilla notes. The finish is a little shorter than the Black Tot 50, but both are top Navy Rums and absolutely worthy of the special occasion.

The 31st of July, Black Tot day 2024. Raising a glass to the memory 🥃 This is a tasty navy strength rum, with aromas of dried fruits and a sweetness to the nose. I got some spicyness, chocolate and some toffee in the notes

Kräuter, Gewürze und eine modrige Komponente an der Nase werden auf angenehm milde Art für die fast 55% im Geschmack, neben den Holznoten, bestätigt. Trinidad lässt grüßen. Im Abgang taucht neben den Kräutern auch noch Honig auf.

Great blend for an interesting occasion and unbeatable PLV! The rum is very dry and spicy, but it also has a nice amount of fruit on the nose. As I had it as a blind sample, I initially expected an older Guyana. Not high-end, but very good and therefore interesting for beginners as well as advanced nerds.

Pleasantly palatable navy rum with a little sweetness. Great PLV

Nez très Worthy Park à mon sens. Des fruits, de la rondeur, une jolie vanille. C'est léger et caramélisé. Plus sombre en bouche avec une jolie note de réglisse. Moins de complexité que le Black Tot goûté juste avant mais agréable à boire.

What can I say, I didn't think this rum would taste so sweet, but what the hell. You can definitely taste the chocolate and coffee, you can taste the alcohol at first, but then it's quickly gone again.

For 50€ or so, it’s definitely worth the shot! Well balanced, you can definitely tell there is some Caroni inside, although it is mostly on the nosing side. Overall, a great sipping rum!
