{"title":"Pusser's","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePusser's is the only rum that can genuinely claim to be the Royal Navy's own. For more than 300 years, beginning in 1655, every British sailor received a daily tot handed out by the ship's purser — \"pusser\" in naval slang — a tradition that finally ended on July 31, 1970, a day still remembered as Black Tot Day. In 1979 the Admiralty approved Charles Tobias to re-blend the rum to its original specifications in the British Virgin Islands, and a portion of every bottle sold still goes to the Royal Navy Sailors' Fund, established to compensate sailors for the lost ration. The rums are blends of column and pot still Caribbean distillate aged in ex-bourbon barrels, with the Demerara wooden stills of Guyana — including Port Mourant, in production since 1732 — giving the range its distinctive character. The lineup runs from the 40% Blue Label built on the original Admiralty recipe, through the Gunpowder Proof at the true navy strength of 54.5% (named for the old test of dousing gunpowder in rum to prove it hadn't been watered), to the 15 Year, a separate blend aged in charred oak and rated 93 points by The Rum Howler, plus spiced expressions. Pusser's also owns the trademark to the Painkiller, and every bottle earns its place in that glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Pusser's collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pussers-brittish-navy-rum-1l","title":"Pusser's British Navy Rum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor more than 300 years the British Royal Navy issued every sailor a daily tot of rum, handed out by the ship's purser — \"pusser\" in naval slang — a tradition that began in 1655 and ended on July 31, 1970, a day still known as Black Tot Day.

This is that rum: a blend of column and pot still rums distilled from fermented molasses and aged in ex-bourbon barrels, built on the original Admiralty recipe, with no artificial flavoring or coloring added. Bottled at 40% ABV. Expect a dark amber pour with molasses, treacle, toffee, and vanilla on the nose alongside oak, cinnamon, and nutmeg, opening into a full-bodied palate of burnt sugar, dried fruit, and warm baking spice with the distinctive Demerara wooden-still character underneath, finishing long and mellow. It's the foundation of the Painkiller — the cocktail Pusser's owns the trademark to — and a genuine piece of naval history in a glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Pusser's British Navy Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":27115865538660,"sku":"C0001673L","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Pussers_Rum.jpg?v=1564709131"},{"product_id":"pussers-gunpowder-proof-rum","title":"Pusser's Gunpowder Proof Rum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe name comes from a test: before hydrometers existed, a ship's purser proved he hadn't watered the crew's tot by dousing gunpowder in the rum and lighting it. If it burned, the rum was at proof. If it didn't, the purser might find himself over the side. Pusser's holds the rights to the original Admiralty blending recipe, and this expression is bottled at 54.5% ABV — the true Royal Navy strength, matching the specification last used before the daily tot ended on July 31, 1970, a day sailors still call Black Tot Day. A blend of column and pot still Guyanese and Trinidadian rums aged in ex-bourbon barrels, blended to Admiralty specification, with a portion of every bottle going to the Royal Navy Sailors' Fund. Expect pungent molasses, treacle, toffee, honey, and vanilla on the nose with oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, and blackened ginger cake, opening into a full-bodied palate of molasses, vanilla, toffee, espresso, and peppery spice, finishing long on burnt caramel, prunes, and cold tea. Reviewers consistently prefer it to the 40% Blue Label for exactly the reason you'd expect — the proof carries the flavor.

Since the 2018 reformulation it's 100% Guyanese, blended and bottled in Guyana, heavily influenced by rum from the Port Mourant double wooden pot stills, in production since 1732, whose greenheart staves produce character no metal still can replicate. Aged 15 years in charred oak, bottled at 40% ABV. Difford's Guide called the old blend good and the new one great, noting the removal of Trinidadian rum eliminated a faint oil-paint note and left something drier. The Rum Howler scored it 93\/100. Expect prunes, dried orchard fruit, treacle, cedar, cinnamon, and rolling tobacco on the nose, opening full-bodied and dry with burnt molasses, toffee, spicy vanilla oak, brazil nut, and sherry, finishing on balsamic and dry oaky spice. Two honest notes: independent testing found around 8g\/L sugar despite additive-free claims, and most reviewers wish it were bottled stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy Pussers 15 Year Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29209461981263,"sku":"C0001788L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Pussers_15_Year.jpg?v=1564710873"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/pussers.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
