A timeless classic, our flagship product. Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof Rum, the only rum blended in accordance with Royal Navy Admiralty specifications, proudly boasts its original navy strength at 54.5% ABV (109 proof), making it one of the most authentic and historical spirits available today. Prior to the invention of the hydrometer, the ship’s purser shut down claims of watering down the sailors’ daily tot by mixing a few grains of gunpowder to the rum to see if it would burn. If the mixture ignited, the rum was ‘at proof.’ If it didn’t, the purser might find himself tossed to sea!
