Demerara fans who find El Dorado 12 and 15 too sweet keep landing here. This Guyana 15-year leans hard on wood, licorice and a menthol-ish note several tasters flag, with only light toffee and dried fruit underneath. At 40% it's gentle in the glass. A few miss the old Nelson's Blood's banana fruitiness, and some wish it hit harder.

The look inside the bottle
How does Pusser's Rum Aged 15 Years 2003 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Woody, low-sweet Demerara, gentle at 40% Well liked as a woody, low-sweetness Demerara sipper. Most agree it's soft and easygoing; the recurring gripe is that 40% leaves it feeling thin for a 15-year-old.

Some call this new 15yo for “Nelson’s Blood”, but it’s definitely not the same. This one isn’t nearly as sweet as the “Nelson’s Blood” and there isn’t written “Nelson’s Blood” on the label either. Overall it’s a very good rum, but probably quite long from what a Navy rum tasted way back in time. I would say if you like the other rum in Pusser’s range you will also like this one. The same goes for if you like the El Dorado 12 or/and 15, but think they are a little too sweet.

Pleasing PM profile. Less sweetness than in some epigone DDL's.
Review by Gregor
Unfortunately, not at all comparable to the old Nelson's blood. Here really missing the fruity banana and generally the fruity tones. Very woody
Review by MarcT
Much better and accessible than the standard Black Tot Release. Very long aftertaste.
Review by Johannes G
Nice pleasant navy rum characterized by heavy Port Mourant (DDL) notes. Unfortunately, not quite as complex as its predecessor. In the smell a little more fruit and spice than in the taste, which is characterized by woody and slightly smoky aromas. The rum accompanies a fine and light sweetness, which accompanies the taste until the finish but does not interfere at any time.nice entry rum into the world of somewhat heavier rums. With its story about Admiral Nelson and the marketing as an original Royal Navy Rum really a great overall package, which is still okay in terms of price.

#5013 31.12.2024 Enjoying a set of samples while cooking New Year Dinner. Nose Wood, round, light licorice, light roasted, plum, dried fruit, faint coffee, light chocolate. Palate Wood, light roasted, oily, light licorice, raisin, light caramel, light herbs, light tannins, faint honey, light orange, light chocolate. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, dried fruit, faint cherry, light mint, light coffee, light licorice. The empty glass has nice prunes, nutts and light tobacco.
Review by primus
On the nose, I initially thought that the alcohol would probably cloud the experience somewhat, but then I was pleasantly surprised. On the palate, there is a sweetness at the very beginning, which then transforms into toffee and licorice. Pleasant woody notes.
Review by rum_sk
Sweet coffee like mocha rum, spicy and typical guyanese rum. Demerara all around with typical burnt sugar and caramel aromas although it is a little bit mild and I like gunpowder proof more than this one. Medium long finish.
Review by ChristophFFM
Spicy, dark fruity, woody. Medium heavy. Slightly salty finish. Interesting, but not overwhelming.
Review by TheJackDrop
Clearly interesting this 15 years. It follows the pattern of the black label, with a bit less punch (45% would surely have been better) but can be sipped without problems, and far from lacking taste. A little menthol note in addition to the black label. Pretty cool.
Review by Business Liner Ralf
Tasted 3 today. Comparatively rather light, surprisingly little alcohol taste despite 80 proof. I like the woody taste and finish! And little sweetness, which I prefer. For 15 years, still very light. Some Bourbons at that age have more power. Overall, I find Pussers rums really varied and you can experience rum in its many facets. That's why rum is and remains the first choice!
Review by Jakob Deiner
Spicy and dark, roasted, paired with dried fruits, rather tannic, somewhat bitter oak/wood notes. It leans towards Demerara, but I clearly prefer all El Dorado bottlings, after the Pusser's Blue Label, which had quite positively surprised me, this one is rather disappointing. Drinks: - Neat: 2.5/5 - Rum Mule: 3/5
Review by w00tAN
Good rum but also a handsome price ...
Review by Rumpalumpa
I like it very much. Sweet red fruits stand out on the nose between toffee and wood. Nuts are added on the palate. This unusual cherry note remains on the finish. Compared to the similarly priced El Dorado 15 of the same age, the wood is less intrusive, but it also lacks a little body.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Very woody profile
Review by Ane Steph
If you pour a glass of this rum, the whole room will smell it. It has a very power menthol-like smell that you'll also find in the taste with notes of whisky. It's quite rounded with liquorice and anis taste.
Review by rastdeurden
Very nice and balananced rum. There is a lot chocolate and vanila. You can drink it for shoots or mix in drinks.
Review by Timo Groeger
A very good rum, considering that it only has 40%. You can taste some chocolate in it. Goes down the throat very easily. Good that it has matured for 15 years. The finish is also very quick. I definitely recommend this rum
Review by Kamil Křenek
Typical Pussers but I like stroger version

Read full review ›It may not be quite as perfect as the Gunpowder proof but it is a very, very good rum. If you are looking for something with less sweetness, than say El Dorado 12 or 15 then you might wish to try this. I think most fans of Demerara rum will...
