About this bottle
Pusser's Rum Gunpowder Proof recreates the strength of the British Royal Navy's historic daily rum ration, blending West Indian rums aged a minimum of five years in oak and bottled at 54.5% ABV (109 proof) — the same strength once used to test rum purity by igniting it over gunpowder. Expect a deep amber color with aromas of molasses, caramel, and oak, a full-bodied palate of toffee, vanilla, and spice, and a long, warming finish with a hint of oak. It's a rum built for drinkers who want genuine naval history and real strength in the glass.
How to drink Pusser's Gunpowder Proof
Try it in a Pusser's Painkiller, the rum's own signature cocktail with pineapple, orange, and cream of coconut. Neat or on the rocks also works if you want to feel the full navy-strength proof directly.
