Pusser's Gunpowder Proof is bottled at 109 proof (54.5% ABV) — the exact strength at which the Royal Navy issued its daily rum ration until it was discontinued on July 31, 1970, and the proof at which the Admiralty's blending recipe was last used. The name comes from the historic proof test: rum was poured over gunpowder, and if it still ignited, it was "gunpowder proof." A blend of Guyanese and Trinidadian rums aged in oak, it delivers rich notes of muscovado sugar, dried fruit, oak, and warm spice with a long, warming finish. The definitive Navy rum — superb in a Grog, Painkiller, or simply over ice.
