Tortola, British Virgin Islands, October 16, 2005 – In 1979, the Pusser’s Rum tradition was resurrected by Charles Tobias when he obtained the rights and all the blending info from the Admiralty. He began bottling and selling Pusser’s Rum to the public for the 1st time in 1980 – but only in the northern hemisphere. This 36 year dry spell “down under” is about to end with the appointment of Blue Sky Beverages as the Australian and New Zealand distributor.
Nevertheless, a few bottles of Pusser’s Rum are currently on Australian shores. HMAS Anzac returned to Australia with 40 circumstances of Pusser’s Rum procured in the UK soon after her attendance at Trafalgar 200 as part of her Northern Trident Deployment. These 240 bottles have been distributed all through the Royal Australian Navy and affiliated associations to make sure that Pusser’s Rum will be utilized to “Splice the Primary Brace” on Trafalgar Day, October 21st.
“The history of Pussers Rum is inextricably linked with Australia’s and I’m pleased as hell that we can finally reunite the two,” stated Charles Tobias, founder and Chairman of Pusser’s Rum. “The jack tars of the Very first Fleet refused to sail to Australia without having Pusser’s Rum onboard. Rum was a main currency in the early years of settlement in Botany Bay. In fact, rum was the cause of the infamous William Bligh’s second mutiny when he was Governor of New South Wales. He tried to curtail the rum monopoly of the ‘Rum Corps’ that sparked the “Rum Rebellion” in 1808. Interest in Pusser’s Rum seems to be exceptionally high. I assume the Aussies actually will appreciate that distinctive full, rum flavor that is only Pusser’s. There’s also one thing unique about drinking what I like to call ‘Liquid History’ due to the fact that is what Pusser’s is. Such a colorful history, such a fantastic product, I assume the Aussies are going to really like it.”

It is still produced in exact accordance with the Admiralty’s specifications.

These days, every single other rum comes from contemporary industrial metal stills that are low price and short on flavour. As a result, a lot of common rum brands have to add flavouring to boost the taste.
