Pusser’s Rum has a rich history tied to the British Royal Navy. It dates back to 1655 when the navy began issuing daily rum rations, known as “tots,” to sailors. This tradition continued for over 300 years until the practice ended on July 31, 1970, known as Black Tot Day. Pusser’s Rum is crafted according to the original Admiralty recipe, using a blend of rums from Guyana and Trinidad. Charles Tobias, a British entrepreneur, revived the brand in 1979, ensuring the rum’s legacy and connection to naval history continue. Today, Pusser’s Rum remains a tribute to maritime heritage and craftsmanship.
Pusser’s Rum can be enjoyed in various ways to appreciate its rich, full-bodied flavour. For a classic experience, sip it neat or on the rocks to savour its complex notes of molasses, toffee, and spice. It also pairs well in traditional rum cocktails, such as the Painkiller, a tropical blend of Pusser’s Rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, cream of coconut, and a dash of nutmeg. For a warm, comforting drink, mix it into a hot buttered rum. Whether neat, mixed, or in a cocktail, Pusser’s Rum offers a versatile and satisfying drinking experience.
