Smooth, a little heavy and full bodied...this is the rum to make the dark and stormy or a swizzle...I always make sure we have it on hand for friends.

One of the first dark rums I ever had and thus remains a soft spot forever. Very strong flavour, actually quite herby and medicinal but in a pleasing way. Full flavour when held in the mouth with a noteable afterburn but again very pleasing. Of course the number 1 choice for a dark and stormy no other rum will do for that but one I really enjoy sipping with a single piece of ice inside, I find this loosens up the intense flavours. Not a rum for novices as I find it quite cultured.

Goslings with the same amount of ginger beer, ice and 3 drops of bitters. Outstanding!

On ice the aftertaste is amazing and worthy of slow sipping

One of my favourite rums for mixing. Particularly enjoy it with cola.

This is my go to black rum that doesnโ€™t overwhelm other ingredients or rum when in a cocktail.
