Rhum Pusser's Gunpowder Proof (70cl, 54.5%)

Pusser's Gunpowder Proof is a rum with roots in British naval tradition, made to the original recipe used by the Royal Navy. It is distilled in the British Virgin Islands in copper stills using traditional methods, and at 54.5% vol it has an intense, robust character. Molasses, bitter chocolate and exotic spices come through on the nose. On the palate, caramel sweetness is balanced by deeper notes of burnt wood and tobacco, and the finish is long. It works neat or as the base of a robust, aromatic cocktail.
