Even if it's not great, at 54.5% you'll quickly stop caring! Worth a go at this price, I think.

Yes I'm sure you were as was the evolution of your intelligence through your family line, if you think the word Purser to Pusser is evolution..
What a deadhead!

There has to be some kind of award for that comment.
Explain the etymology of a word and then get told that words should not evolve.
Language is a beautiful thing thanks to evolution and you would be surprised how much naval slang you use without realising; not to mention countless other argots. But if the use of pusser rather than purser got under your skin, I'm glad; very glad. In fact, I ordered a bottle just to pìss you off.

'The pusser' is a colloquialism for anything belonging to the Royal Navy but was actually the name of the person responsible for holding a ships purse strings, as it were.

I joined the RN six years after they stopped the tot but they still spliced the mainbrace on special occasions and after having had my tot a number of times, 1/8 pint of rum (3.5 x 25ml shots) which is 1.37x strength of regular spirit (equivalent to 4.75 shots), I can understand why they wouldn't want me having it on a daily basis at midday whilst maintaining helicopters.

This stuff is amazing, far better than things like Kraken which imo is quite an average rum!

Tried it the last time Amazon had it on offer. I suspect that it was too strong for me as I didn't care for it. I preferred the Rumbullion which is also on today's Deal of the Day.

Ordered as looks right up my street! Like my good single malt but like my rum rough and ready! The stronger and darker the better!

Ok so I only really like dark rum to the extent that I'm actually a fan of lambs navy rum over most others. Is this a nice dark rich Rum?

Certainly can't doubt the pedigree, it doesn't get better than Pussers! :innocent:

It is great. I was trying to think of some witticism, but I can't. Actually it is superb rum, though clearly a niche product. Intense taste, very smooth, but very rummy! Not for your average Barcardi drinker. I like to take some when I go camping. At this price I'm very tempted, but I'm not going camping, and I'm avoiding spirits - damn you OP :wink:
