PussersPussers Rum Gunpowder Black Label 54.5 percent ABV 70cl

I'd been drinking Pusser's for years (sparingly, of course) but I'd never tried the Gunpowder, partly because I tend to shy away from high proofs. I have to say it was stunning. I had to dilute it with ice and soda, being a wimp, but the flavour was spectacular – liquorice toffee at first, then all the vanilla and raisin-like notes. Just delicious. It also makes a very assertive rum and coke, and worked surprisingly well with Japanese melon soda. I think this might be my go-to rum in future. I like it so much that it's been granted residence in my Pusser's limited edition ceramic decanter, out of respect.

Great rum bought many bottles, apopper navy rum.

Fantastic

Very nice flavour. Tastes of molasses with a kick like a donkey! A small amount is all that is needed. I’ll definitely purchase again if my liver survives.

I love my dark, strong, rums. Having drank the gunpowder proof spiced version, this has added confusion to my decisions. Without the spice I'm used to tasting, this becomes the classic full navy strength rum.Pussers is so much smoother than Woods Old Navy. Yet I find myself reaching for it, despite it's higher price. Now I have to choose between this black label and the spiced versions... What a dilemma to have.

Best rum there is :)

In my case, this was purchased to make rumtopf (and maybe for a little sip, too). But I've since realised that one bottle is not going to be enough, and for something basically being used to preserve fruit, that makes it a bit on the expensive side. That said, there is far more expensive stuff out there, too. So, good stuff, but probably best used for sipping and cocktails.

A great rum at a good price, Only ruined yet again my Amazons delivery people. Selected the 16th Dec for delivery due to people being in, But no let deliver on a date that suits Amazon and ignore customers request.
