Gosling's Black Seal

Even thought I have experimented with other rums for my Dark & Stormy's such as the Cruzan Black Strap rum, Gosling's Black Seal is still my favorite. A dark and flavorful rum with a taste of it's own. The Black Seal Ginger Beer is not bad either but I prefer the Bundaburg or Barritts to it.

Is it El Dorado 12? No. Is it Coruba? No. But for what it is—a dark, molasses-forward English style rum that you can consistently get for under $20 a bottle—it's very good at what it does. A solid workhorse rum.

Gosling is a very fragrant rum, you can smell molasses and caramel.
The mouth: in addition to the caramel, we can smell a hint of vanilla and tobacco. It can be drunk on its own, but in my opinion it is much better in cocktails. I recommend.

Fruit, charred wood, vanilla scent. Nice dark brown color. It is caramelish sweet, but firey! If sipping - only on the rocks, not enjoyable otherwise. Black seal is better used as a mixer, especially with ginger beer and lime, so dark & stormy.

Has a nice scent of good coffee and caramel, I can feel sweetness but is overwhelmed by the bitterness, it is spicy but more like bitter spicy.

This is a lovely dark navy rum, leaves me wanting more. Definitely most ideal for a dark and stormy. Very in depth and full-bodied.

I have fond memories of drinking this with coffee. It's dark and tasty, even good on its own. A great black rum

Spicy flavour but not particularly memorable. Probably best as a mix

Obviously the only way to go for a dark and stormy. I look forward to getting to try the Papa seal as their rum has some great potential if aged.

Tmavý rum nahořklé chuti. Nenahraditelný základ Dark & Stormy.
