At the beginning of the 19th century, England was in a difficult position. Parts of the North American colonies had gained their independence from the crown. Spain was the undisputed ruler of the oceans & a strict enemy to Engl&. English ships were often taken by the Spanish fleet & there was no defense against this. Europe had been conquered by Napoleon's French army & Britain was threatened by invasion. The British fleet was weak in number & suffered from uncreative leadership. There was one British naval officer who was different
- Horatio Nelson! Admiral Nelson was an outstanding & strongly nonconformist leader. He did not follow the old & traditional patterns, but instead created his own solutions in the battles & engagements that he fought & later lead. In fact, at times his path to success was in direct defiance of the orders given him. He did not follow orders that he found useless or not according to his own concept, & because of his leadership & tactical genius, he was victorious in every major engagement he fought & was therefore never brought to task for his disobedience. He was constantly developing & evolving new tactics that became known as the Nelson touch as in the famous & vital Battle of Trafalgar, the largest sea battle ever fought between ships-of-the-line. He was popular & well-respected, & those he led worshipped him in contrast to the usual relationship between English military leaders & their men at that time. He was always personally in the thick of the fight. He appealed to the pride & patriotism of his sailors. This connection to his men, apart from winning the most important sea battle at the time & one of the greatest in the annals of naval warfare, made him a hero to not only his men & the Royal Navy, but to the common people of England where the Battle of Trafalgar, 200 years later, is still celebrated. Trafalgar was a turning point in world history. The English fleet led by Nelson performed a miracle in defeating the combined French & Spanish fleets, thus destroying Spain's dominance of the world's oceans. Now Britain ruled the waves as the famous anthem goes. Britain had finally curtailed the Spanish predominance of the oceans & the end of French dominance of the European continent would soon follow. This victory opened the path to the construction of the British Empire, as no other European power could now prevent Britain's imperialism. Her Walls of Oak, as the wooden hulled ships of the Royal Navy were called, dominated the seas & gave cover to Britain's expansion, while Great Britain lay protected & secure behind them. If Nelson had not prevailed at Trafalgar, the British Empire could not have happened, & the world today would be a very different place.

Add Pusser's Rum to this, & you have the original grog as mandated by Admiral Vernon in his Orders to Captains in 1740. It is not one of the modern streamlined tropical cocktails that borrowed the name grog for some barman's concoction having no relation to the real thing. The Pusser's Grog Mix is made from the juice of fresh limes & dark cane sugar, the same ingredients prescribed by Admiral Vernon in 1740. It is delightfully delicious, & the real thing. ...

The new 40% bottling. The colour is a rich mahogany, though clear. The aroma is a burst of classic demerara with a wonderful mix of brown sugar & molasses. Notes of leather, tobacco, dried sultanas, nutmeg, clove, & cassia. The aroma finishes with soft oak, caramel, & rich English toffee. Pussers full, rich flavour is all natural, no flavouring agents are added. It is the only rum whose flavour is sufficiently distinctive to be savoured through the ingredients of just about any cocktail. ...

Pussers - 15 Year Old Rum 70cl Bottle

The superb rum in this bottle has not only been aged in wood for 15 years, but has also been distilled in wood. It is the world's only rum, or for that matter the world's only spirit, that is still distilled in wood using the old, inefiicient, handcrafted way in opposition to the modern method that employs semi-automatic metal column distillation. For 330 years from about 1640 until July 31st, 1970, Great Britain's Royal Navy issued a daily rum ration to the sailors on board its ships. The daily ration was known as a tot, and its issue and the ritual that went with it was one of the longest and unbroken traditions in the history of the sea. The rum used was a special rum called Navy or Admiralty Rum, or Pussers. Pussers being a corruption of the word pirser, after the
officer in charge of the ship's supplies. Pussers Navy Rum today is the identical rum that was issued in the Royal Navy right up until the time of the custom's termination on July 31st, 1970. Pussers is known for both its colourful history and its rich flavour. It was never sold or available to the public until 1979. If a connoiseur obtained a tot or two, he valued it for a very special occasion because there was nothing else like it. The Pussers 15 year old is exceptional and equivalent to the finest cognac or brandy in every way. Interestingly, at the end of 15 years of aging in wood, only about 7% of the original rum remains in the barrel. the balance will have evaporated into the air. Thus it toof the equivalent of about 16 bottles of rum to produce this single bottle of 15 year
old Pussers! This rum is truly for sipping, as you would a fine cognac. It is best enjoyed slighlty chilled at about 13C to 16C or 55F to 60F.
