What surprises most people is how dark this navy blend leans — mocha, roasted nut, burnt sugar and licorice more than sweetness. It's a blend of Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica and Barbados at gunpowder proof, and several tasters catch a little rubber and dirty ester on the nose. Give it air; it opens into cocoa, nutmeg and dried fruit. A "grundsolider" navy that punches above its price.

This limited edition is released by Pusser’s to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of Black Tot Day, July 31th 1970. It’s named after the naval base Deptford Dockyard where the Navy’s most important spirit depot was established in 1742. At the depot there was around 30 storage vats that accommodated and aged more than 250,000 gallons of rum. This rum, the Pusser’s Deptford Dockyard Reserve, is a blend of high esters rum from Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica and Barbados just as the rum was in past. Today most of Pusser’s rum is a blend just from Guyana. It’s aged for a minimum of three years in charred oak bourbon barrels before bottled at Gunpowder Proof level, 54,5%.

Solid blend .... nothing more nothing less.
Review by Dr.Django
Pusser's 50th and the Deptford version in direct comparison. Both very great rums with a very similar profile. The Anniversary is more Guyana-heavy and sweet and sticky, and much more intense on the palate. Whereas the Deptford is somewhat lighter on the palate, but fruitier. Both have a medium-long finish, but the Deptford has the edge here. Fun PLV monsters!
Review by Thunderbird
The nase I find very pleasant with dried fruit, wet stone and nutmeg...On the palate I taste first burnt sugar, then a potpourri of spices and bitter dark chocolate. Mild and creamy it spreads.The finish is between short and medium length!A rum more to the dark side, but I like it very much
Review by mto75
for Black Tot Day the Deptford Dockyard Reserve in the glass. It competes against the Pusser's 50th Anniversary. The Deptford is very spicy-nutty on the nose, with coconut, wood barrel and something that goes in the direction of overripe (citrus) fruit. With the Pusser's 50, more caramel sweetness, vanilla and red fruits come through. On the palate, I got nutmeg and lots of toasty notes, towards mocha, with the Deptford. The Pusser's 50 is also sweeter (more chocolatey) on the palate. Overall, I like the Pusser's 50 still a touch better, because the blend is mE something more coherent.
Review by F.L.O.
And the next Navy in the <100 euro range. The nose promises dried fruit, wood, alcohol and caramel. The palate confirms this, but the alcohol is too present up front. You really have to sip this friend and let it breathe for a long time. So far for me the best navy in this price range.
Review by Joachim Guger
Very complex nose. Tart and masculine. Licorice, leather and spices lead through glue and then still to an elusive fruitiness.Crisp and complex in the mouth. Now a bit more caramel. The alcoholis well proportioned.Great finish.A great sipper. Complex, powerful yet well balanced.I recently had an original Navy from the 60's and this one has a very similar flavor profile.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Took me some time to get my hands on this little sample and I'm thinking about buying a bottle. The price to quality is very good in my mind. Roasted wood through the profile with nutmeg and caramel. Licorice and and citrus is more obvious in the empty glass.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Alcohol could be better integrated, Jamaica share does not quite fit in here. The 20th anniversary edition I find much better.
Review by DomM
Nicely balanced on the nose. Wood, tropical fruits and some darker leathery notes. Alcohol is bit too present, however. Rich navy profile on the palate. Here I get quite a lot (coloured) Guyana notes, providing lots of dried fruits and depth. Very nice bottling, at a very attractive price point.
Review by Timo Groeger
The first one I really like today. A pretty dark and also roasty rum. You can recognize a lot of dark chocolate, mocha, and also licorice, plus a bit nutty, spicy, and oaky. Very tasty.
Review by Alex1981
Plastic & esters on the nose, paired with fruit & roasted notes. Blackcurrant, rubber, red fruits and a slight dirtiness on the palate. Good navy blend with markers from all the countries represented. Can do something!
Review by Jarek
Not really my kind of rum. Somehow it reminds me of a prune pickled in Maggi.
Review by Basti
Lots of spice on the nose, licorice, caramel, wood, some coffee, but also rubber/plastic! Then relatively sweet and thin in the mouth. It clearly lacks intensity and complexity, especially if you have navy blends like the Velier Royal Navy or the Tiger Shark in your glass at the same time. The Pusser's doesn't stand a chance here, but also plays in a different league in terms of price.
Review by w00tAN
What a beautiful rum. Still fruity and spicy on the nose. You can smell Jamaica. Dark chocolate dominates in the mouth, then nutmeg and espresso notes. Dark and balanced, alcohol is well integrated. Long finish, bitter, beautiful fine ester. Very nice blend, especially for the price, I would not have expected it to be like this
Review by Banana Joe
A fundamentally solid navy blend. The roasted aromas are very concise and persist until the end. Alcohol is well integrated and fun. Due to the super PLV, it just manages the 80 points mark. Thanks Michael for the sample.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My first Pusser and I am surprised. The mocha notes with lots of roasted flavors and nut are very dominant. Basically a well balanced rum, but very dark and with a clear profile, which does not quite meet my taste.
Review by Oliver
Very nice navy blend at a fair price.
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: the first thing I notice is a slightly dirty note next to a lot of spice and little fruit. Alcohol is very discreet. The nose reminds me of Port Mourant. Palate: a lot of barrel, again Port Mourant but becoming sweeter towards the end.Finish: medium long and as a continuation of the palateGood blend on the border of very good, makes a very mature and round overall impression is a little closed and thus also demanding.The empty glass smells after a while of burnt sugar and caramel!
Review by paulgi86
Nice rum - requires a few droplets of water to help it come more alive however this rum smells, tastes and feels “dark” It’s all a little musty, dark dunnage warehouse alongside everything brown (mocha, toasted oak, cocoa, brown sugar) I suspect the lead note here is Trinidad however could also be Guyana as well - I’m more inclined to the TDL than Guyana flavour wise Nice rum - final note is the ABV is very well integrated to this, barely needs water at all…. Just a few droplets to help awaken the slumber!
Review by Christian Rudt
Tasted at the German Rumfest and have been pleasantly surprised. Very nice strength and not at all boring. And priced clear winner against a Black Tot, which has just the story 🤷🏻♂️Würde say, so one always goes, maybe just not today 😅 Looking forward to all those who are next year!
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
This rum definitely needs some time in the glass to fully open up. It has really dark notes on the nose, I get mainly wood, black pepper, cocoa and maggi (lovage plant) as weird as it sounds. On the palate, it has the classic molasses-driven style accompanied by licorice espresso and some old wood notes in the finish.
Review by Stefan L
Tasted this rum again and still like i a lot specially since it’s good value for money.
Review by Christina L.
#stillnotapro German Rum Festival 2023 powerful rum, stays with its aromas of overripe tropical fruits and roastiness long on the tongue - price-performance still okay
Review by Wernie
Durch Tipps aus der Community konnte ich mir zwei Flasche zum Superpreis sichern. Danke Jungs.👍🏻 Die Nase liegt auf der dunklen Seite, Trockenfrüchte gepaart mit Backgewürzen, Lakritz,getoasteten Fass und einer gewissen fleischigen Umaminote. Am Gaumen noch dunkler, die Früchte sind kaum noch wahrnehmbar, dafür schlägt das gekohlte Fass voll rein. Der Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Der Abgang folgt dem Gaumen,ein wenig Leder kommt hinzu und ist mittellang. Fazit: einer der besseren Navy Blends auf dem Markt. Zum reduzierten Preis top!
Review by Rum man
A great blend that brings out quite some layers for the price. If I have to guess I would say a blend of Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad. There is a slighty astringent note in there that I cannot place but that is its biggest flaw in my opinion. Nevertheless it is a good rum that slowly shows you multiple dimensions of flavor.

Review by Business Liner Ralf
More complex compared to the Admirality Blue Label. The Christmas spices surprised me here. It's really something special! Definitely fitting as a memorial rum for Tot Day!
Review by VincyPepperPot
Once in a while a rum comes along where its reputation is regarded very highly by experts. They spend alot of time talking about the soil, the fruit, the tree bark and the dark art of maturing the goods in some barrels. Well, I bought this Rum for my lovely son's 21st birthday. I did my research and wow, what a rum...this rum will take you to a beech in the carribean with sunshine on tap. From my first sip the deep flavours of rich fruit just dance in your mouth. Just when you thought you've got back control. The rum releases the heat and power and transforms you to dark place, my mouths not dry but I'm reaching for the bottle to see if the bottle has a warning for an age limit. This rum deserves the accolades. This is a rum for serious people. A quality rum that shouldn't be shared, it's a rum that has a heritage a status. Be prepared to be selfish, if friends drop by, you'll want to lock this rum away. It's nit for sharing, Top drink, enjoy.
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Really nice blend with espresso notes, roasted aromas and some dried fruit aromas and flavors for the nose and palate. Medium length finish. Delicious!
Review by Neil T
Really like this. Rich but not sickly sweet. Nicely blended and lots of notes to play around with. Nice hint of barley sugar on the back too.
