Tasting notes
Goslings Black Seal Rum, made from a 150-year-old Gosling family recipe, uses the finest distillates aged in charred American oak casks. The smooth, full flavor is the result of a careful blend of aged pot still and continuous still distillates. One imparts flavor, the other yields a subtle elegance. The Beverage Testing Institute awarded Gosling’s Black Seal the Platinum Medal and Best Buy award.

About this rum
Goslings - Black Seal
Goslings Black Seal is a premium dark rum that is perfect for sipping or mixing in cocktails. This rum is made in Bermuda by the Gosling family, who have been producing rum since 1806.
The taste profile of Goslings Black Seal is rich and complex, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice. It has a smooth finish that lingers on the palate, making it a great choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted rum.
The history of the Gosling family and their rum-making tradition is fascinating. The family originally started producing rum to supplement their income from their grocery store, but it quickly became their main focus. They developed a unique blend of rums that became known as Black Seal, and it has been a favourite of rum enthusiasts ever since.
Goslings Black Seal is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, but it also makes a great base for cocktails. Try it in a Dark and Stormy, which is made by mixing Goslings Black Seal with ginger beer and lime juice. It's the perfect drink for a summer evening or a cosy night in.
