Gosling's Black Seal

Fruit, charred wood, vanilla scent. Nice dark brown color. It is caramelish sweet, but firey! If sipping - only on the rocks, not enjoyable otherwise. Black seal is better used as a mixer, especially with ginger beer and lime, so dark & stormy.

Has a nice scent of good coffee and caramel, I can feel sweetness but is overwhelmed by the bitterness, it is spicy but more like bitter spicy.

This is a lovely dark navy rum, leaves me wanting more. Definitely most ideal for a dark and stormy. Very in depth and full-bodied.

I have fond memories of drinking this with coffee. It's dark and tasty, even good on its own. A great black rum

Spicy flavour but not particularly memorable. Probably best as a mix

Obviously the only way to go for a dark and stormy. I look forward to getting to try the Papa seal as their rum has some great potential if aged.

Tmavý rum nahořklé chuti. Nenahraditelný základ Dark & Stormy.
• 60 ml tmavý rum
• 100 ml zázvorové pivo
• šťáva z půlky nebo z celé limetky
• led

I think this stuff is to rum what Guinness is to beer - something different, and not for everyone.

It's not terribly good neat, but is nice in gingerale (can't find a sugar-free ginger beer).

I think I'd buy it on occasion, but not keep it on hand

It is difficult to rate this dark rum because it is not supposed to be drunk neat. Whether you like it or not it is a must have for a decent bar. The company sources its rum from Caribbean countries, and then blends and ages it in Bermuda. My "Dark and Stormy" was just right.

Quite usual rum, nothing special. Very dark, so it can be artificially colored. Simple test.
