- Excerpt: This is a fantastic rum which belongs on my bar shelf alongside my most prized spirits. It has a full spicy flavour with just enough sweetness to temper the bite. Each time I sample it, I enjoy it just a little more.

- Excerpt: So why do I call this a key rum? Because it is a good rum which should be remembered and appreciated; because it hewed and hews as close to the line of the old navy rums as we’re ever likely to get; because it’s 15 years old and still affordable; and because for all its blended nature and therefore indeterminate origins, it’s just a well-made, well-aged product with a whiff of true historical pedigree and naval heritage behind it. Even now, so many rums down the road, I remember why I liked it in the first place.

- Excerpt: This is fine but unremarkable. Its a bit sweet, I think they went a hair overboard dosing, but the flavors are nice and the mouth feel is rich. I need to try other Pussers expressions but I bet an increase in proof would really help here.
