We were in Tortola and visited the original Pusser's a while back. The rum was produced there for the British navy until the 1970's.
It is still made there according to the Pusser label.

Does anyone know if they brought Demerrara molasses to Tortola to distill or rum for blending? In the Pusser's blend , does anyone know the types of rum they use and has it changed?
We also visited a small distillery Sebastian's. they produce a very dark rum that is OK at times. The Sebastian's bottle pictured here has a photocopied label that is scotch taped to the bottle.

Another time the label was commercial and the rum tasted a little different. Anyone know any info about Sebastian's?

Here aare the Sea Wynde and Lemon Hart labels.
