Gosling's Family Reserve Old

My wife bought this for me for my anniversary 5 years ago. I was finally convinced to open it. Worth it. It has a fantastic colour and aroma. The caramel and cherry are fantastic. This is a a great rum top ten from my collection, just outside my personal top five.

An excellent sipping rum, truly enjoyable neat. Medium to full body with a smooth finish. My go to rum - neat. Fruity and dry.

Good, dense, balanced and pretty complex. Not too sweet or dry, not chemistry in the nose and also not a burnt on your throat. Would definitely recommend, fair price. 7.5 pts now.

Smooth Smooth sooooo Smooth Worth every last penny spent on this bottle...No other words can describe this beautiful rum...if you can find it buy it heck buy 2 bottles

Very smooth, molasses and subtle spice flavour. Very good sipping rum with lots of body.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11/25/21. Very sweet. Tobacco. Oak. Raisins. Cherries. Treacle. Molasses. Oak. This is thick in palate. Finishes with orange and honey syrup.

I wasn't a fan the first time I tried it. Comes off a little strong as it is VERY aromatic and can be a bit overwhelming. However with a sip it settles right down and is very enjoyable. The tase is very complex and combines a slight sweetness with spices, fruits, chocolate and tobacco. I have grown to really enjoy this rum!

This was exactly what I wanted out of this bottle. Rich and oily, warming! Sweet and oaky scent. Molasses and orange taste. Dry finish. Great presentation. Minor dosage.

Smells like barrels and belowdecks. Tastes mostly of heat and brown sugar.

The heat fades quickly, and it goes down a lot easier than I first expected. As the brown sugar fades, it ends up feeling a little thin and light.

A decent sipper, but in no way worth the price of the bottle. I really cannot recommend unless it cost about a third of what it does.
