There
is a new Red Pusser’s Rum Bottle out there, It is Pusser’s Spiced Rum. In the glass the rum is a lovely amber color.
The nose is predominantly ginger and cinnamon with notes of oranges with hints
of black pepper and caramel. Despite
being only 35% ABV it still provides a good mouth feel like a real rum.
Pusser’s Spiced has a little surprise in that the Spices are
more subtle and much smoother. The
Spiced is very easy to sip and bold enough to stand up to mixing without
getting completely lost in the mix. There
is no noticeable notes of vanilla in the spice blend, but rather a rather spicy
and zesty flavor. Notes of ginger, orange
and hints of cinnamon and pepper add to the heat of the finish. The finish is flavorful
and lingers offering a nice smooth and easy fade.
I'm drinking some Pusser's right now which is my standard everyday rum. I find it interesting that they have decided to go stylish and make a spiced rum. Guess it was inevitable. Maybe I'll try it. Pusser's is usually hard to find so I'll keep an eye out for the spiced rum. I can usually buy the 1L bottles in Maryland outside Annapolis. Keep a couple cases on the boat for emergencies and painkiller nights.
