British Navy Pusser's Rum Gunpowder Proof

This British Navy Pusser's Rum Gunpowder Proof is a powerful rum still blended according to the original Navy recipe, including the corresponding alcohol content. It gives the rum an inimitable flavor bursting with vanilla and caramel notes. Its dark color truly makes you want to savor this rum and dream of distant ocean voyages.
The term Gunpowder Proof originates from the time when the Purser, or "Pusser," responsible for shipboard logistics, had to check the alcohol strength, or "proof," by soaking gunpowder in the rum and checking whether it would ignite. If the gunpowder didn't ignite, the rum was "under proof," and he wasn't allowed on board. If it did ignite, it was "overpowder." The exact alcohol content at which ignition was guaranteed is "gunpowder proof," or 54.5% ABV.
