Nothing like a rum with tradition:
British Navy Pussers Navy Rum Nelson's Blood 15 Year Old Rum
Deep amber color. Rubber sap, marinated vinegar, caramel taffy, ad brown spice aromas. A round entry leads to a glycerous off-dry medium-to full bodied palate with sherried brown spices, mineral spirits, roasted Brazil nuts, cedar, and toffee. Finishes with a touch of shellac, exotic peppercorn, and very spicy heat. A very hearty, traditional navy rum.
When you have battling the cold waves making way on the choppy seas of a mad march day with sales unfurled and a mist arising this is the one for you. Think of the great hero and Nelson's blood.

Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson, Royal Navy, one of the world's greatest fighting admirals, never lost a major battle. At Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805, although outnumbered, he defeated the combined navies of Spain and France. In this fierce battle that would determine who ruled the waves for the century that followed, Nelson sank or captured 19 of the enemy while losing not a single British ship. Unfortunately, at the age of 47, he was mortally wounded and died three hours before the end of the battle with the knowledge that victory was his. For the journey home, his body was carried on board HMS VICTORY, his flagship. Legend has it that to preserve it during the long voyage, they placed him in a large cask of Pusser's Rum. Upon arrival in England, it was discovered that the jack tars (sailors) had drilled a small hole at the base of the cask and drank all the rum - thereby drinking of Nelson's Blood. This term is still widely used today by Navy and history buffs as their alternative name for Pusser's Rum.

Rum is of course part of the common heritage of the Caribbean and the World of the sea and noble pirates who used to liberate the King's gold for the common good.

On the other hand there are Blut Glo and their American pals for the likes there are age old remedies:

and I forgot to mention the term Pussers is derivative of the word Purser who controlled the rum......thus The Pursers or Pussers rum......it was at one time a tradition of all commonwealth navies and that is why they were to drunk to see the sun setting on them
