Pusser’s Rum: A Rich Naval Legacy

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 more than 300 years, sailors of the Royal Navy were issued a daily rum ration or “tot”, a highly welcome daily comfort when one was away from home for many months. The Rum Ration was abolished on the 31st of July 1970 (“The Black Day” or Black Tot Day)

Charles Tobias Resurrects The Name

The Pusser’s Rum name quietly lay dormant until 1979 when the entrepreneur Charles Tobias sought to resurrect the Pusser’s Rum tradition. Tobias managed to obtain the rights and the blending information from the Admiralty, set up Pusser’s Rum Ltd on Tortola and, in 1980, began selling Pusser’s Rum to the public for the very first time. In return, The Royal Navy Sailor’s Fund, a naval charity more commonly called the “Tot Fund” receives a substantial donation from the sale of each bottle of British Navy Pusser’s Rum.

100% Guyanese Rum

Pusser’s Blue Label Rum is inspired by the Admiralty’s blending recipe, which was last used when the Royal Navy discontinued its daily ration. The rum is crafted at Diamond Distillers Ltd in Guyana’s Demerara Valley. It is a blend of column and pot still rums, drawing its distinctive character from rum made from the legendary Port Mourant double wooden pot still. This centuries-old still, built with “Greenheart” staves, infuses the spirit with rich, organic compounds absorbed over decades, creating a flavour profile unlike most other Guyanese rums. After distillation, the rum matures for at least three years in charred oak barrels, gaining a velvety smoothness and deep, layered notes of caramel and spice.
