'Pusser's' is a brand name of
rum produced by ''Pussers Ltd'', on
Tortola in the
British Virgin Islands. ''Pusser'' is Naval slang for a
purser, a ship's pay officer in the
Royal Navy.
In
1979, nearly a decade after the
Royal Navy abandoned the custom of the daily tot of
rum, company founder Charles Tobias obtained the rights to blending information associated with the naval rum ration and formed the company to produce the spirit according to the original
admiralty recipe, a blend of five
West Indian rums without colouring agents. The
Royal Navy Sailor's Fund, a Navy charity, receives royalties from the proceeds of each bottle of the rum sold, and that is now the charity's largest source of income apart from the founder's original bequest.
