I found this looking for alternative dark rums besides Gosling's and Myers'. I really like it. Great for Dark N Stormy's. I like it for darkening my Jamaican Rum Punch as well.
I love the story behind this rum. If you don't know it? Check it out. Music and Rum, a great combination.
To the rum. Well I love the colour. True Jamaican rum fashion. On the nose I get a nice mellow sweetness. Toasted hazelnuts and roasted marshmallow.
On the palate? wow... Bursts of vanilla, coffee, hazelnuts again (not too sure why, but that is a huge nut flavour I keep getting) Coats your mouth with warmth, but not too hot.
I will need to play with this rum a little to determine if it should be left neat, on the rocks, or mixed, because there is a lot of potential, yet I am not too sure which direction I would go with this great rum.

Tried this one at Blackwell`s Rum and Reggae party in New Orleans 2 years ago and i find it makes great rum punches and dark n stormy`s, also good in Tiki drinks.

This is a serious Jamaican style rum, distilled by Wray and Nephew - to which family it turns out Chris Blackwell is related.
Not sweet at all, plenty of funk and esters. Not aged enough to be a particularly great sipper but outstanding in mixed drinks.

Gosling's Black Seal and too confected to compare with other Jamaican rum's.
Both Black Seal and Myers offer a better molasses rich experience.
Appleton and Hampden Estate offer a better authentic dunder heavy Jamaican rum.

good molasses, but not sweet. Has a decent mouth feel but not quite what I like in a sipper. May be a good alternative to goslings or Meyers but not a replacement.
"sweetness of the aroma is overpowered by the youthfulness..."
"Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve rum review by The Fat Rum Pirate"
'Deep amber brown in color, Blackwell...'
"Drink Spirits reviews Blackwell Black Gold Special Reserve rum"
The nose is rich, dark molasses and caramel.
"The sweetness of the aroma is overpowered by the youthfulness of the blend and the burn is long lasting and leaves little by way of flavour in the mouth, just heat."

I really liked this rum after trying at the rum fest a couple of years ago. It was warm, with a hint of spice, as well as being sweet with dried fruits cutting though. Makes an awesome Dark 'N' Stormy!!
