Gosling's Black Seal

a burnt rum smelling rum. I am apprehensive. Very strange at first, I didn’t like my first sip. However as I drunk more I couldn’t stop. I’m not sure what it is but it warmed on me. Slightly coffee tatse? It’s moderately sweet and doesn’t have a flat aftertaste that I’d expect. I actually would drink again. Overall 9

Unlike a Bacardi that brashly announces its presence, and overstates its strength, the Black Seal mixes quietly into a drink, adding a bit of sweetness to the flavor. Smooth enough to sip, excellent to mix, and most importantly: does not bring on a hangover the way that the more harsh rums will.

Works well in a lot of Tiki drinks. Recommended if your going this route.

Very lovely & sweet tasting rum. Definitely up there with high end rums.

Man, this is the best taste out there for the price. And I know I'm not alone in my thinking, after sharing with a couple of friends I have converted them from Rye to Rum

Strong slightly treacle aroma on opening with slight burnt overtone might not suit everyone but this really suited my taste buds. I got some spice flavours at the end of cinnamon and perhaps nutmeg. Delicious mixed. Highly recommended!!

This rum serves a special place in the collection! It's the base for a Dark'N'Stormy cocktail and really can't be beaten for that. It's rotten for anything else.

it's just very chocolate-y to me. I drunk quite a few Rums, but I am far from considering myself a connoisseur. I like spiced Rums and well.. whatever I simply "like". but this one stands out VERY strongly from the crowd for me. I loved it straight and I love it with Pepsi. (yes - I do drink Rums with Pepsi - as I don't Like Coca-Cola) :D

Dark n Stormies are great crisp summer beverage!!
Also, made a double chocolate rum cake which was delicious.

Dark and smokey, no ice needed.
