Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Enjoyable to sip, this is a very mild rum, well rested. I didn't get anything extraordinary out of it, just nice and relaxing.

Burnt sugar nose. Very thick and rich palette with notes of toffee and banana. Sickly sweet banoffee finish, almost too much

Dark beautifully balanced rum. Whats not to love about this, love the colour, nose and taste. This is something everyone should try.
Nice one!

Quite nice neat, raw elements. After drinking it’s very moreish. However there’s something just a little off with the aftertaste. 8.5 is my true rating

Ve vůni je cítit cokolada, pomeranče a bylinky. Barva krásně tmavá. V chuti zejména pomeranc, vanilka. Závěr v chuti trochu pepře, která přechází do dřevitosti.

Unikátní rum v netypickém balení. Goslings family reserve pochází ze stejné směsi Bermudského rumu jako je u klasického goslings dark seal rumu. V dubových sudech leží ale mnohem déle. Stárne, dokud nedostane takovou lahodnou chuť, jako má například stará whisky nebo koňak. Je tedy více než jen tekutina a láhev. Každá láhev má proto voskovou pečeť na hrdle a individuální číslo. V San Francisku získal dvojitou zlatou medaili.

I’m a fan of the regular Gosling’s and it’s my go-to for a Dark and Stormy so I was looking forward to this one. However, I was left a little underwhelmed.

The nose is very nice with notes of caramel and fruit. However, the first taste is extremely sweet with tastes of chocolate and more caramel.

I think this would be nice as an dessert drink even if it is a little expensive.

This is a nice, rich, black rum. Essentially, an aged version of the classic. It has that unique Goslings nose, which is very nice. It also tastes like Goslings but smoother, and with a bit more depth and creamy mouth feel. Overall, very nice and good for both sipping and mixing.

Very basic name, but very nice flavor and smooth too. Worth the price.

Classy presentation in a dark, wax-dipped champagne bottle. I don’t normally comment too much on a rum’s colour, either, but happily make an exception here as this is truly a gorgeous dark, reddish mahogany hue, with copper edges. It looks “old” and elegant. Before nosing or tasting, I judged the colour of this rum to be amongst the very best I have seen.

The nose offers pronounced, deep aromas of oak, molasses, dark fruits (esp. raisin) and baking spices like nutmeg, clove and ginger. Just...wow! It is very captivating. I nosed the Glencairn for 10 minutes before taking the first sip. There is a deep and brooding quality to the nose that is simply incredible.

The palate is focused and structured, with flavours echoing the nose - wood, molasses and spice. There is just a slight hint of sweetness but this is definitely not a sweet rum. Fabulous! A slight black pepper note introduces the medium-length finish. To me, everything about this rum conjures up an ideal of what great rum should be. Simply sensational! Highly recommended.
