Dosage: 10-15 gr/L
This rum is not too sweet. Reminds me of Zaya 12 (cocoa and spice).
It's quite rich. I get cocoa, dry fruits and herbs in the nose. There is also the burned sugar and mandarine. Aromas are from a column still, but the combination is not bad.

The taste goes also in that direction. I get burned sugar, tannins, dry fruits (I have mandarine and peaches here). In the end some caramel, cocoa and cloves.
The finish is spicy, again tannins, dry fruits and caramel with cocoa.

It's a nice Christmas rum on the cocoa sind. Would rate it with 76 points.

Smell: cocoa, dry fruits, herbs, burned sugar, mandarine, some spices, some barrel (oak).
Taste: burned sugar, tannins, dry fruits (mandarin, peach), caramel, cocoa, cloves
Finish: spice, some tannins, cocoa, dark chocolate, spices, oak and earth

Sweetness: 2.5/5
Fruit: 2.5/5
Spice: 3.5/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Value (60€): 2/5

Fantastic nose. Little sweet but lot of flavours, full of fruits. Easy to taste and drink. Was tasting it together with 5 other rums and turned out to be a winner

First, the packaging was fantastic and the wooden box was a great preview for the Rum inside. I oredered this through my local liquor store after being a fan of the Goslings Black Seal for some time. The flavors are robust, finishes strong and has a wonderful aroma.

I was given a bottle of this as a present and had genuinely never had rum before. I'm now a convert and enjoy dark and spiced rums thanks to the exquisite taste of Gosling's Family reserve.
It is a unique bottle and flavour and in my opinion one of the best rums out there

Taste: some nuts and a bit too much of alcohol
A good one for sipping

This is one of the most beautiful packages you'll ever find. A wooden box with individually numbered bottles. The bottle looks like a bottle of great wine with an amazing wax seal.

Once you've gotten past the package and try it, you'll find a darker and thicker rum than most. It is a complex rum. The spices are the dominate aroma/taste. Some carmel. Worth sipping with an ice cube if it suits you but it is quite strong as a sipper.

A little expensive compared to other options but worth trying if you can.

This is so indulgent, such a treat! dark rum, sweet, complex, treacle, cloves, so lovely, its all going on in that glass of mine, perfect for this cold winter evening with the wood burner blasting away! It's really does benefit from resting, I poured mine neat into the glass and left for a good half hour. A tad expensive but we'll worth a treat if you feel like you deserve one, enjoy.

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

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.
