The navy’s flagons were encased in a tightly hand-woven willow basket to reduce breakage, whereas this Pusser’s version has been decorated to salute one of the world’s greatest fighting admirals, Horatio Nelson.
Two hundred years following the event that created it, the term “Nelson’s Blood” still remains a vital part of the lexicon of the seaman and the Royal Navy – in continuous service since the days of Henry VIII from the year 1525.
Around the stopper of the decanter is the famous flag signal that set the seal to Nelson’s fame. Just before engaging the enemy at the Battle at Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805, he flew this signal, “England expects that every man will do his duty”.
The stopper design includes the Killick’s Anchor, the symbolic anchor of the seaman as designated by the Admiralty. It is a very old design for which the etymology is not known. Its unique design has long been associated with the jack tars of the Royal Navy and sailors everywhere in the world.
Rum and the sea are inseparable, and no rum is more akin to the sea or sailors than Pusser’s Rum – the Original Navy Rum. Before battle, the fleet was issued a double ‘tot’, and again after victory for a job well done.
