Pusser’s 15 Year Old Rum: A Refined Legacy

The previous bottling of Pusser’s 15 Year Old Rum was a blend of Guyanese and Trinidadian rums, while the 2018 bottling is 100% Guyanese rum. This 15-year-old rum differs significantly from the Blue Label and Gunpowder Proof rums. Not only is it aged much longer (Pusser’s Blue Label and Gunpowder Proof rums are bottled at three years old), but it’s also distilled using different stills. It comprises approximately 50% rum from old wooden-sided stills, with the rest from column stills.

The historic double wooden-sided pot stills, in production since 1732, were originally located at the Port Mourant distillery. Alongside the Port Mourant double-sided pot still, Demerara Distillers also operates the world’s only other two wooden-sided stills: a Versailles wooden pot still and an Enmore wooden Coffey still. The old Greenheart staves of the historic Port Mourant stills provide flavor compounds that cannot be replicated in modern metal stills.

Pusser’s True-Aged 15 Year Rum offers a softer, smoother, and more refined profile compared to the bolder Pusser’s Blue Label and the robust Gunpowder Proof. This updated bottling represents a sophisticated evolution from its predecessor, reducing sweetness and fruitiness for a more mature character. Rum aficionados have likened it to a fine brandy, praising its full, rich flavour and exceptional smoothness – qualities that led Forbes magazine to call it the “Single Malt of Rum.”

Crafted Pure: 100% Natural Guyanese Rum

Pusser’s 15 Year Old Rum is 100% natural, using no artificial colors or flavorings, and is gluten-free. It is bottled at 40% ABV.

About Pusser’s Rum & The Tot Fund

Pusser’s Rum is produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd. in Guyana and is named after the Royal Navy slang for a purser, a ship’s supply officer. For over 300 years, Royal Navy sailors received a daily rum ration, or “tot,” a cherished comfort during long months away from home. The rum ration was abolished on July 31, 1970 (“The Black Day”), and the Pusser’s Rum name remained dormant until 1979, when entrepreneur Charles Tobias sought to revive the tradition.

Tobias obtained the rights and blending information from the Admiralty, established Pusser’s Rum Ltd. on Tortola in 1980, and began selling Pusser’s Rum to the public for the first time. In return, the Royal Navy Sailor’s Fund, a naval charity commonly known as the Tot Fund, receives a donation from the sale of each bottle of British Navy Pusser’s Rum.
