Gosling's Black Seal Rum

Gosling's Black Seal Rum, made from a 150 year old Gosling family recipe, uses the finest distillates aged in charred American oak casks. Gosling's Black Seal has a rich, intricate flavor balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla, and caramel notes. Or, as expressed by the Beverage Tasting Institute when they awarded it their highest honor, the Platinum Medal. "Deep, assertive, and highly flavored. Very fragrant with herbal sharpness. Fragrant, with herbal sharpness, and unusually complex. At the finish, there is a softness and elegance. A most complex, unusual spirit." We were pleased but hardly surprised. While it may look like Gosling's Black Seal Rum is packaged in black glass, the bottle is straightforward. This is a rich, highly dark rum with a rich, deep amber color. While pleasantly aromatic, Black Seal distinguishes itself on the palate. Full bodied and highly textured, it has delightfully full rummy flavors of vanilla, molasses, caramel, and toast. Black Seal Rum is crucial in Bermuda's National Drink, the Dark 'n Stormy. Goslings' trademarked cocktail, a delicious mix of Black Seal Rum and Gosling's Stormy Ginger Beer, appears like a storm cloud in a glass and evokes the mystique of Bermuda. Enjoy on the rocks or mix in a wide array of rum cocktails.
