Gosling's Family Reserve Old

The rum isn't the most amazing or complex and you can get a lot more for your money. The bottle, black seal and box make the rum feel more special than it is. It does have a nice spice but the flavour isn't quite up to the standard of a £60 rum

Visited a different liquor store and found this. On the expensive side. Rather plain though, nothing special about it. Would take 2 zacapas rather than this for the price

The packaging led me to believe that this would be an exceptionally smooth full-bodied rum. Unfortunately, I found it rather plain and a bit harsh in the end. Wish companies would spend less on packaging/marketing and more on quality of their rum

Thick and heavy. It's the chocolate stout of rum. It tastes great, but I wouldn't drink more than one or two glasses before it would become too much. Could consider it as a re-buy.

Received as a birthday present. Interesting display of wooden box. Upon pouring, it is rather dark, almost the color of cola. I think the aroma is light with an essence of molasses. The taste is lighter than expected - not as heavy on the tongue as expected. Overall enjoyable.

Bottle looked nice, rum was dark brown color.

The taste itself is a mix of caramel, coca, bitter-sweet almonds, the throat is pleasant with a smooth afterburn. You can feel something like a bitter almond feeling lingering in your mouth minutes after the sipping.

very dark, alcohol really comes through, oaky and overall fairly sweet, after a Santa Teresa I actually enjoyed this quite a lot on the rocks.

A nice colour of burnish reddish amber. Smells of caramel, molasses, liquorice with a taste of bitter chocolate, oaky dryness, spice and some liquorice. Overall a creamy texture coating your mouth.

Medium/long smooth finish, sweetish hint of spice and oak but surprisingly very dry in the finish.

It's a nice rum although a bit pricey. Lovely presentation though so would make a nice gift.

Nádherně aromatický rum. Vůně po čokoládě,hodí se hodně k pečným švestkám. Každý rok pouze 22 tisíc lahví na světě.

I am certainly no rum tasting genious but with this "old rum" I expected it to be a bit more "mature" than it is. There are many other rums for half the price that have a compareable taste. I could't find any unique characteristic.
