Pussers Rum Coronation Reserve is a limited edition rum released in 2023 to celebrate The Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla on Saturday 6th May 2023. What better way to toast the new King?

Pussers Rum is produced by Demerara Distillers Ltd in Guyana and is named after the Royal Navy Slang for a purser, a ship’s supply officer. For more than 300 years sailors of the Royal Navy were issued a daily rum ration or “tot”, a highly welcome daily comfort when one was away from home for many months. The Rum Ration was abolished on the 31st July 1970 (“The Black Day”) and the Pusser’s Rum name quietly lay dormant until 1979 when the entrepreneur Charles Tobias sought to resurrect the Pusser’s Rum tradition. Tobias managed to obtain the rights and the blending information from the Admiralty, set up Pussers Rum Ltd on Tortola and, in 1980, began selling Pusser’s Rum to the public for the very first time. In return The Royal Navy Sailor’s Fund, a naval charity more commonly called the “Tot Fund” receives a substantial donation from the sale of each bottle of British Navy Pusser’s Rum. 

Pussers Rum Coronation Reserve is a hand-crafted, limited edition Naval rum made from carefully selected finest aged rums produced from stills in Guyana and Trinidad. It is aged for a minimum of 3 years in charred ex Bourbon casks. The rum is bottled at 54.5%, the same strength as Pussers Gunpowder Proof , and the same strength of the rum that was served on the 31st day of July 1970 a.k.a. “Black Tot Day” – the day that the Admiralty discontinued its daily issue of rum to Ships’ Companies. 

“A rum fit for a King!”
