True Aged -- Not a Solera Gluten Free Nelson's Blood At the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805, Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson engaged the combined fleets of Spain and France. His flagship was HMS VICTORY. Although outnumbered, he sank or captured 17 of the enemy's ships to not a single loss of his own. This victory was his. Legend has it that to preserve his body for the long passage back to England, that it was placed into a large cask of Pusser's Rum. Upon arrival, when the cask was opened, his pickled body was removed, but the jack tars had drilled a small hole at the base of the cask through which they drained most of the rum, thereby drinking of Nelson's Blood. Since then, the term Nelson's Blood has become synonymous with Pusser's Rum, and is still in wide use today. Aged 15 Years The Royal Navy Admirality approved blend of Pusser's Aged 15 Years is heavily influenced by rum from the double wooden pot stills of Port Mourant, Guyana, which has been in production since 1732. The Green heart staves of these historic stills provide flavour compounds incomparable to those of modern metal stills, giving way to an unparalleled and authentic drinking experience. Additionally, the blend is aged to perfection in charred oak barrels for 15 years. A remarkably smooth, highly decorated spirit best enjoyed neat. The Original Royal Navy Rum Pusser's Rum blends, bottles and distributes the original Royal Navy Rum. The blend is prepared in strict accordance to Admirality specifications. For over 300 years, from 1655 until July 31st, 1970, Great Britain's Royal Navy issued a daily rum ration to the sailors on board its ships. The daily ration was known as the 'tot,' and its issue and the ritual that went with it was one of the longest unbroken traditions in the history of the sea. The rum was used as a specual rum called Navy or Admirality Rum, or Pusser's, being a corruption of the word "Purser," the office on board ship who kept the ship's stocks and was responsible for the daily issue of the "tot" of rum -- two before battle and after victory!! "Life at sea in the 15th century could make or break a man -- or woman for that matter -- with its high-stakes adventures and haur-raising brawls."
