Pusser‘s Rum Aged 15 Years 2003
Most enjoy its balanced woody, dark-fruity Demerara profile and easy drinkability. Critics miss power, body and old “Nelson’s Blood” fruitiness. Consensus: a pleasant, lighter Navy-style sipper at fair quality.
Fans of classic Demerara and Navy-style rum who want less sugar than El Dorado 12/15 and a gentle, woody, chocolate-licorice profile at an easy 40% ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Light, woody Demerara Navy sipper
If you enjoy Demerara character but find El Dorado too sweet or cask-strength Pusser’s too aggressive, this gives you that PM-leaning, woody profile in a softer, easier-drinking package.
High-ABV seekers, lovers of intense funk or very sweet rums, and nostalgic fans expecting the richer, fruitier old Nelson’s Blood style.

Tasted at Manchester rum fest 2024
Some call this new 15yo for “Nelson’s Blood”, but it’s definitely not the same. This one isn’t nearly as sweet as the “Nelson’s Blood” and there isn’t written “Nelson’s Blood” on the label either. Overall it’s a very good rum, but probably quite long from what a Navy rum tasted way back in time. I would say if you like the other rum in Pusser’s range you will also like this one. The same goes for if you like the El Dorado 12 or/and 15, but think they are a little too sweet.
I like it very much. Sweet red fruits stand out on the nose between toffee and wood. Nuts are added on the palate. This unusual cherry note remains on the finish. Compared to the similarly priced El Dorado 15 of the same age, the wood is less intrusive, but it also lacks a little body.
