Virgin Islands, British | Aged | 40% ABV
The Great British Admiralty first served rum daily to its Royal Navy sailors over 300 years ago until the ration was abolished in 1970. In 1979 Charles Tobias bought the recipe rights, formed Pusser’s Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands, and for the first time made the rum it available for public consumption.
Pusser’s British Navy rum today is the same blend of five West Indian rums as the British Admiralty issued to sailors.
Known as the “single malt of rum” Pusser’s British Navy rum is pot stilled using a similar method as that for single malt scotches, and with no artificial flavors is 100% natural.

Love on the first sip.
This rum has everything for me. Satisfyingly rich and complex aroma, enough dirtyness to be interesting in the long run. Hint of sweetness. Molasses, dried fruit, warmth, hint of gasoline.
There is no Jamaican rum in Pusser's, but it tastes as if there was.
I really like this. And the Gunpowder version. Only rum so far that I am confident I will buy over and over. On my fourth bottle, and I rarely (never?) bought second bottles of anything else.
To me, this is exactly what "typical" rum should taste like. Of course, I am aware that there is a multitude of rum styles and that there is a lot of variation, which is great. But somehow this is the smell and taste that I would associate with "rum".
I don't think you will find any better value for your money. Excellent, excellent, excellent, thrice excellent.
There are, strictly speaking, better rums out there. But even for double, nay, thrice the money, they are not easy to find. If you like the style at least a little, you cannot go wrong with this.
This review is about the All-Guyana version. I have an old bottle of a different blend, including Barbados and Virgin Island rums, which is good but not as good as this rum.
Having said that, I very much enjoy a half and half mix of Pusser's and Appleton Rare 12 Years.
Let me start with this: I'm a shallow person. I "judge books by their covers", and I'm generally not ashamed to admit that. When I saw this bottle in the past, I thought the label looked cheap and cheesy, and would not have given this one a chance at all.
Thanks to RumRatings, my eyes have been opened. This site/app has allowed me to get some insight and reviews from people that have helped me to find some amazing products... AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
So biased opinion of packaging aside, here's what I found from this drink:
As soon as I opened the bottle, I got a wonderful aroma from it. Caramel/butterscotch, a bit of vanilla, molasses, just a hint of smokiness.
Lets talk taste, because that's what this is all really about, right?
At 84 proof, it's just a bit above what I've traditionally associated with spirits (in my experience), but I dont think that it's noticeably different in perception vs an 80 proof. I'll be trying the Gunpowder proof as soon as I can, since what I'm reading from other reviews is that this is the same product, but watered down a bit.
I really enjoy the flavor here; it seems that the navy blends I've enjoyed have a similar Guyana component that I'm exploring more in depth.
I'd still rate this one slightly behind LemonHart, but definitely will be keeping this around to enjoy.
If you like some complex flavors, not a lot of burn, and an affordable price, this is probably a good choice. I picked this up locally for $27 CAD, and will be going back to get the Gunpowder Proof ($40 CAD) soon.
Not terrible but not great. Best for making drinks like painkillers.
This is a strong rum with a bold front end that would choke a bourbon lover. I didn’t like it. Might be good for a mixer, but not on rocks or neat.
I like this rum, good for price. Product of Guyana. Aroma is pleasant, caramel sweetness. Neat it's smooth, I get an indistinct caramel sweetness with some heat. While you can sip this, it's made for mixing. Very nice with ginger beer, coke. If I have to criticize, I would say lacks a little character to add something additional to the drink. With that said, a nice buy at the price. Enjoy!
Absolutely the best bargain dark rum going. If you like this one as much as I do continue your exploration by stepping up to the Gunpowder Proof offering and my personal favorite rum the incomparable Pussers 15.
What real rum tastes like AFAIC.

It has just the right balance of sweet.
"The rum is rich, warming, sweet, slightly oaked with hints of black pepper and allspice."

Upon pouring this in my snifter I noticed that it has a pleasing aroma. Somewhat sweet with a bit of an alcohol tickling. This may be explained, in part, by the fact that is a bit higher proof than normal for rum (84 proof). Not a huge difference but enough to give it some bite. It has good legs albeit a bit thin. The flavor is nice with toffee and vanilla undertones and some noticeable pepperiness. Also has a little sweetness to it. Not as smooth as it's 15-year cousin it still has a nice flavor. A bit smooth, too (perhaps aided by a bit of sugaring albeit not too much according to testing).
This a good all-around rum. Good in my Coke Zeroes...well, the "new and improved" sugar-free Coca-Colas (different flavor? Yes. Improved. Definitely not. However no where near as bad as "New Coke". Those old enough remember that debaucle. Those not old enough can Google it.). This would be quite usable in mixed drinks.
Recommended.
