Tasty, but not quite great

This, along with Plantation Barbados Grande Reserve, is my favorite budget sipping rum. Looks great in the glass with a fairly dark color. Didn't stick out in presentation, taste, or smoothness, but it doesn't need to either. It's a solid sipping rum for a great price.

Like most people, I have this stocked because my wife loves it. Actually a really nice mixer. A bit frothy like Captain Morgan black.
Just got this to give the original dark and stormy a go. Quite nice

Probably makes a decent mixer and not super pleasant sipped. It’s a good introduction rum, so and it does have a decent flavor.

An adequate dark rum for cocktails. Prefer cruzan blackstrap for the molasses flavor.

I know that this is the official rum for a Dark and Stormy. Usually pass over this rum in favor of others, but pickings were slim at the store so I gave it a try.
It is great in a Dark and Stormy, but also a decent sipper neat. Used it for rum balls too yum.
This is not the best rum in the barrel but it's not the worst. Not a sipper but good for mixing. I doubt I ever buy a bottle again, but the idea of to try different rums and experience the world.
'well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel'
"Goslings Black Seal rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"
The nose is very pungent. Heavy thick treacly molasses and sweet caramel.
"It’s initially sweet like liquorice, there is a little heat and spice in the mix and the finish is long and slightly bitter."

I use it quite a bit for tiki drinks that need a dark rum.
