okay, i finally procured my first bottle of Pusser's Navy rum, and I have pertinent follow-up points:

  1. Pusser's has a very familiar aroma. Tastes like a junior Myers's, imo, but more testing in this regard will have to be conducted.

  2. Coco Lopez. I mean, am i the only one who keeps planning to grab a spoon and consume a whole can of that tasty sweet shiznit raw?

  3. Ok, grated some fresh nutmeg a la the recommendation of every junior cocktilian snob everywhere. yeah yeah, zesty, but too chunky. There's something to be said for the 'corporate' artisans who provide us with pre-grated nutmeg.

  4. Finally, I recognize and concede even that the Pusser's does add a taste profile that differs substantially from a run-of-the-mill pina colada. Rougher, eve nscotchier as advertised, definitely different. I prefer it, too.
