Gosling's Black Seal

I have been drinking run for 35 years, but am somewhat of a newbie..Until recently, I thought Lambs White or Bacardi white mixed with coke or fruit juice was as good as it gets. One day, I had the urge to buy something different, and came across this in a small town liquor store. It opened my eyes to what rum might be, and I have tried a two dozen or more other rums since. After trying some the others, I can say with some conviction that this is one of my favorites. Dark, smooth, great on the rocks or straight up. Great price too. I tried a dark and stormy, but think it best on its own. This is a rum I will probably always keep in the back of my cabinet as I explore others.

Riche en arôme. Couleur virant à l'acajou. Fruité, épicé. Long en bouche. Parfait pour réaliser cocktail et old fashioned.

I enjoy black rums, this one sets the standard for a dark and stormy. Other than that, it falls a bit short. Still an alright bottle but, not my choice of flavours. Also pairs well floated on a pina colada if you want something different.

Introduced to me by my bro-n-law, this was the first rum I had after the dark times (first marriage). Not bad neat, but a better mixer. This is one of my standard goto rums (along with Mount Gay Eclipse, Appleton's Estate/Signature, & Brugal Anejo).

This is a nice rum but strictly for mixing since as a sipper it really doesn't offer anything but a fairly basic taste profile.

Found it had a weird taste, not something I like. Luckily I tried it at a bar and not stuck with a bottle

Everywhere else you'll be asking yourself "how much did I spend on this shit?" Unless you're on the island or on a cruise to the island, don't bother.

I tried this at a friend's house on a hot day. He put ice in my glass before I had time to ask him for it "neat"! I sipped it as the ice melted and found that I rather liked it.

Interesting flavor. And good for the price, bit I was not in love with it

Woho, i was very lucky, it was on sale in a shop in Flensburg, Germany. What not to like :D
