How does this rum taste?
Classic budget navy-style all-rounder
You’ll probably enjoy this if you like affordable, characterful Demerara-style rums like El Dorado 8 but want something a bit drier and more coffee-and-wood driven for mixing.
Those chasing high complexity, cask strength power, or very clean modern profiles; also drinkers who dislike roasted coffee and burnt-sugar notes.
So, on first sip, Pusser's British Navy Admiralty Rum didn't really appeal to me. It smells lovely of coffee and dark chocolate, but the body is a bit alcoholic. Another sip will help, revealing a caramel-woody, lightly spiced flavor and a not-too-long tail. Considering the price, however, this is a decent rum that will certainly not offend. Rum suitable for casual sipping or mixed drinks. 68%

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.
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.
Auto-translatedVery 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.
