Pusser's Gunpowder Proof (Black Label) is a Royal Navy-style rum from the British Virgin Islands, blended to the original Admiralty recipe used until the Royal Navy's daily rum ration ended in 1970. Bottled at 54.5% ABV, it takes its name from the old test of dousing gunpowder in rum to prove it hadn't been watered down.
