Gosling's Black Seal

The best affordable option to make a great dark 'n stormy. Just an absolute classic. Not a great rum to drink neat.

Good in a cocktail or with a cola but I've had better. I've also had a lot worse.

Bij vrienden een nieuwe rum. Prima te doen, maar het wordt niet een favoriet

I recently picked up a bottle on sale for $16. Let start off by saying, at that price this is a good rum.

The scent isn't anything special - it has the smell one associates with dark rum. The taste is good, but not great. I drank it neat and it is easily consumable that way, although I'm sure it would be much better in a mixed drink. It tastes of caramel and vanilla with a slight, short burn after swallowing.

An average mixing rum just a little bit better than your mass market rums.

Not a sipper but good mixer...makes a good Dark and stormy.

This is kinda two-note with lots of molasses and vanilla notes. Definitely more of a mixer than a sipper, but it works well in cocktails. Not sure I would put it above Blackwell's Black Gold though.

Decent dark rum, but of spice so perfect for a dark n stormy.

This isnt the smoothest rum but it packs a tasty punch. Hefty oak notes ending in a long sweet vanilla with some cinnamon aftertaste

40% ABV. Lots of alcohol on the nose, with caramel, molasses, and artificial aromatics. After a while, the alcohol fades and the molasses dominates. Molasses and vanilla dominate the palate. Short finish.

Tried it with ginger ale for a Dark and Stormy(tm), and it was pretty bleak. Just like the last time I ordered one at a bar. Might be good for baking, but not much else.
