Gosling’s Black Seal Rum is the iconic dark rum of Bermuda, crafted from a secret blend of pot and continuous still distillates and aged in charred American oak barrels. Originally sold from a Champagne bottle sealed with black wax (hence the name), this rum has been made by the Gosling family since the mid-1800s. It’s the official rum of the legendary Dark ‘n Stormy cocktail and a staple for lovers of full-bodied, versatile dark rum.
Bouquet Deep and aromatic. Notes of rich molasses, vanilla bean, brown sugar and baking spice rise from the glass, with hints of toasted oak, dark fruit and clove.
Palate Full-bodied and warming. Flavours of treacle, dark chocolate, allspice and caramelised banana unfold over a smooth, gently smoky base. The finish is long and layered with sweet spice, charred wood and a molasses-rich depth.
Food Pairing Ideal in a Dark ‘n Stormy with ginger beer and lime. Also great in tiki cocktails, rum punches, or as a decadent sipper with cola or coffee. Pairs beautifully with spiced ribs, sticky desserts, dark chocolate, or tropical fruit.
Cellaring Ready to enjoy now. Once opened, store upright in a cool, dark place. Will remain flavourful and stable for several years.
