Gosling's Black Seal

Un des premiers rhum que j'ai acheté. Je le trouvais pas mal. Sans doute mieux pour être mélangé qu'à boire pur. Je devrais en racheter pour le noter correctement.

For the price you cannot beat this rum. ($23/handle on sale) Mixed with coke zero and lime, this is our staple in my coastal corner. Praise be the Black Seal!

molasses. half dry.
bold. intense. low fruit. caramel. licorice. spice. wood. alcohol. not a good sipper. too short aftertaste. too harsh. too thin.
but...
mix it up with ginger beer and you get the dark´n stormy longdrink! and thats great!
5/10 for a sipper
8/10 for a mixer with ginger beer!

I like this one even neat, for sipping, but of course it is great in mixes, worth every penny

With Goslings Giner Beer THE Rum to Go. With more spicy Gingers try Pussers Blue Label. Dark and sweet. Quote ok for sipping. But Kind of Strange Taste and nose. Can not Point my Finger on it. Old fruits?

What would a Dark & Stormy be without Gosling's Black Seal? Is it a complex aged sipper? No, but it's a sold respectable dark mixer, miles ahead of Meyers.

Smooth, a little heavy and full bodied...this is the rum to make the dark and stormy or a swizzle...I always make sure we have it on hand for friends.

Back to back bottles of Kraken (formerly my favorite) and then Goslings. Kraken is good on the rocks but heavier in retrospect. Gosling's is about the same price and much smoother, more refined.

If you like thick full bodied rum, this is solid. Heavy molasses feel and taste. Phenomenal when used to make chocolate

Tasty mixed with coke, nothing special, but not bad either.
