Has a nice taste to it but have only tried it in mixed drinks. I will have to try it straight to see harshness.

I don't normally like the dark rums straight but this one is pretty good. Its best with just a dash of coke.

This is the rum that got me started on tasting different rums. It's sweet and has little burn. It works well by itself and a mixer.

I've been drinking the dark and stormy for years. I decided to taste the rum neat.
Aroma is pretty medicinal. Strong nutmeg, allspice and clove taste. Kind of am odd aftertaste. This is certainly not meant to drink neat.

I really liked this with a drop of coke. Enjoyed the brown sugar flavours, this rum has its own distinct flavour that sets it apart from the crowd. Must try these dark and stormys....

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.

Nice molasses taste. Usually enjoyed over ice and coke but also with Tropicana strawberry banana juice or pineapple juice. Still a little harsh for straight up.

Love the notes of citrus and molasses / caramel.

Dans la liste des rhums noirs celui ci est mon préféré avec le myer's. La mélasse est présente mais ne surenchérit pas et les épices n'ont pas le gout chimique que l'on peut retrouver dans presque tout les autres rhums noirs. En dark and stormy avec pleins de glace et du old jamaica ginger beer, c'est a se rouler par terre. Très rafraichissant et avec un kick épicé en même temps. A consommer lors des chaudes soirées d'été.
