Pusser‘s Rum Original Admiralty (Blue Label)

This rum saw the light of day when Pusser’s looked over its range some years ago. Before the “Blue Label” was available in a version with a 54,5% ABV. This stronger rum was then renamed “Gunpowder Proof” and the new “Blue Label” gained a strength of 40%, or 42% in some markets. Over time its been found in various blends. Initially with rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados. Then with rum from Guyana and Trinidad and finally nowadays it just contain rum from Guyana. The one reviewed here is the latter. Overall it’s a quite rich and full-bodied everyday rum that is very good value for money.

solider Mix Rum!

A very pleasant rum for sipping and mixing!! Very affordable costs around 25 eur. In exchange you get a pleasing, fruity rum with a nice touch of vanilla, mild spice. Very little alcohol burn. If available, be sure to grab a bottle, it is a very nice rum.

Zu süß und Kaffee (ich mag keinen Kaffee)

Very distinctive rum. I cannot say it is a good rum, but it is full of curious olfactory surprises. In my opinion it renders better in the nose than in the mouth. Many nuances on the nose, coffee and well-roasted caramel predominate on the palate with a faint woody note. Medium finish with coffee predominating. The banana that I felt lightly on the nose disappeared on the palate. Fun rum for an out-of-the-box tasting.

A Dirchschnittsrum as it stands in the book. Has a spicy nose in which wood is also recognizable. On the palate, the barrel clearly dominates. You can also detect coffee, toffee, dark chocolate and spice. Solid.

#5004 28.12.2024 Enjoying a few samples while home alone 😊 Nose Wood, faint smoke, fruits, raisin, light cherries, faint nutts, spice, light caramel. Palate Wood, light roasted, medium dry, light oily, light orange, light caramel, faint chocolate, spice, light cherries. Finish Medium long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, spice, light dry, light caramel. The empty glass has light herbs and prunes. Tried it in a Coca Cola with a good shot of rum and it did pretty well.

This rum was one of the first I have ever drunk. Unfortunately, I have to say that my taste has changed in the meantime so that this no longer appeals to me as before. But he is still good and suitable for beginners who want to dare slowly away from sugar

In Nase und Abgang wirklich Gut mit Vanille, Röstaromen, sowie Kaffeenoten. Komischerweise lässt die anfängliche Euphorie im Gaumen nach. Die geringe Süße macht ihn dennoch interessant. Alkohol gut eingebunden, aber schwach ausgeprägt

Seems like a young rum from Guyana, which is still too strong with a biting and pungent alcohol plume. Smells quite sharp at the beginning, has very briefly reminded of a spicy mustard or herbs :-D But typical notes are already recognizable, such as the unmistakable woody and toasty chocolate-caramel-fruit mix. In the mouth a bit thin and mild, if then a bit spicy and sweet, but definitely roasty and chocolaty. In the finish sweet, fruity and toasty.

This rum is on the sweet side throughout. It is a caramel and vanilla bomb from nose to finish. The taste and finish are both sweet. From experience this rum is great for rum cake, it makes a great syrup and rum icing.

Such a classic. Color: Classic deep golden hue Nose: Classic demerara goodness, slight burnt notes, pipe tobacco. Mouth: A far more balanced and even-keeled profile to many other demerara’s who often have more outspoken burnt tones. Spice, dried fruit (raisins especially) and the touch of burnt dark wood. Finish: Outstanding and longish finish with a very welcome uptick in flavor strength to finish off your sip. Pusser’s original admiralty rum with the 100% Guyanese content and bottled at 40% is one of those classic treats as a rum lover. It will remind and reinforce in you why you love rum so much. A staple in my rum collection. Excellent both as a sipping and cocktail rum. Recommended for any rum cabinet.

Nicht so dolle, habe mir mehr versprochen.Aber mit Cola und Limetten wird es schon was👍

Ich denke hier handelt es sich um einen Klassiker. Einfach solide, kräftige Rumaromen. In der Nase fasslastig und alkoholisch, am Gaumen zum Holz dann noch Rosinen. Hat eine angenehme Schärfe, und wird auch im Abgang nicht zu flach.

My mixrum for tiki drinks.Compared to the El Dorado 8; smell much more pronounced burnt cane sugar and less woody. Taste milder and sweeter; also less wood.
