Pussers Gunpowder Proof Spiced Rum
The superb overproof rum in this bottle has been chill filtered and aged for a minimum of 3 years in once used charred oak bourbon barrels and further enhanced with a unique blend of Caribbean spices. Prior to the interdiction of the Sikes hydrometer, in 1816, the ship's Purser, or "Pusser", tested the strength of the daily issue by mixing neat rum, with a little water to which was added to a few gunpowder grains. If, when the mixture was heated through a burning glass, the gunpowder ignited, the rum was served at "Proof". When the method was tested by hydrometer, it was found to be 109 proof (54.5%ABV).

The American oak cask which has previously contained a Cognac-based spirit enhances the aromas and softens the wooden flavours, that brings depth in mouth. There are some notes of candied fruits, dried grapes and cinnamon. Thanks to the refining, the Cellar Manager has succeeded in bringing some roundness and well-balanced tannins. Chateau de Breuil, a real flavour explorer, has selected great rums over the years, produced according to tradition with respect for quality passed down through generations. They all come from the best local distilleries, renowned in their countries of origin. Distilled as small limited series, they will be snapped up.
