Pusser’s Rum Launches Limited Edition “Night Watch” to Mark Trafalgar Day

September 2, 2026In Exhibitor Press Release NRB3 Minutes

Pusser’s Rum, the original Royal Navy rum, is proud to announce the launch of Night Watch, a new limited-edition expression released to commemorate Trafalgar Day on 21st October 2025.

Night Watch marks a bold new direction for Pusser’s, crafted with Louisiana Blackstrap Molasses, prized as the finest in the world. The blend combines aged distillate from vintage wooden pot stills in Guyana with the deep, rich character of blackstrap rum – a style once synonymous with resilience and strength in the Royal Navy.

With its bold flavour, evocative depth and heritage-driven authenticity, Night Watch pays tribute to the steadfast sailors keeping vigil through the midnight watch, echoing the spirit of those who first received the daily rum ration aboard His Majesty’s ships.

Made from a blend of wooden pot and column still distilled rums, aged for up to a year, the Night Watch rum has molasses, caramel, island spices and demerara on the nose and a rich, sweet, spicy and multi layered palate. It’s great neat on ice and served in a variety of cocktails.

This limited-edition release will be available to the UK on-trade and retail from 13th October 2025 from Paragon Brands, and will be immediately available to consumers through Amazon, The Whisky Exchange, Master of Malt, Drinksupermarket.com, Distillers Direct and Nauticalia.
