Gosling's Black Seal

A very dark rum which is best used in drinks. Leans on it's history.

Haven’t tried sipping it, but it’d probably be okay; went straight for the sailor’s drink, with ginger beer — was delicious!

You can't go wrong with this. It's not the best, but very serviceable. I always come back to it for mixing with other lighter rums

I made a north south trip across the United States of America looking for this rum. I finally found it south of Austin, TX (1800 miles from home).
My goal was to try a legal “Dark N’ Stormy”. I finally had it. Now I have had it using other dark rums, however I feel the drink is truly made for Goslings Black Seal.
The rum is smooth with a nice finish. I am even enjoying it neat. I am surprised how good it is. Others may rate it as a “drink if you have to”, but it is far better than that. The bottle is almost gone and I will buy it again , if I can find it.

Liked it, quite drinkable. Not the best, not the worst.

Look, it's a mixer, but it's a good mixer. Better than Cruzan for a balanced Jungle Bird.

I'm exclusively into cocktails and Goslings is always a nice, easy option in a rum blend.

not as good as gosling gold by a long mark, but ok for a mixer and so much better than Myers imo.

Note de dégustation de ce rhum pur, je ne l'ai pas encore testé en Dark'n'stormy :

- Nez : vanille dès sortie de la bouteille, des notes de noix de pécan grillées et de sirop d'érable après de longues minutes d'aération

- Bouche : en bouche, c'est un rhum assez acide et boisé, avec des touches végétales de tabac et mentholées

- Finale : pas forcément longue et n'offre pas de nouvelles notes

This is a good dark rum and excellent mixer. Obvi must have for Dark'n Stormy. Good starting point for dark rums.
