Gosling's Black Seal

One my favorite drinks, I just can't get enough. Truly a one of a kind dark rum. But why copyright a drink? Come on guys....

Harsh taste but decent If you leave it to mellow... Ok not excellent one of the best dark rums to shot

rich, ruby butterscotch treacle rum, lovely in a dark n stormy, lovely mixed elsewhere, smooth and drinkable straight. This is my 2nd love next to Skipper.

this has some delicious sweet dark flavour notes that comes after you swallow the first sip, great in a dark and stormy like its stronger brother, the 151 but great with coke or on its own, i also like it in a rum manhattan, the caramels coming through

I found the colour of this rum to be somewhat unusual. A deep rich red colour more than a dark brown. The guy at the liquor store suggested I try a Dark and Stormy so I had to get the official ingredients to start that journey. This is a good rum, pretty well balanced like the barrel on the seals nose would suggest. Not sure I would buy it again but it was certainly a rite of passage to educate my palate.

Best for dark n stormy. Gives a great unique taste and aroma. Nice on the rocks, great with dark sodas.

not premium but not bad, smooth, sweet with touch of spice, I was satisfied, 7,5

Ah, when I was young and didn't know what "good" rum really was! Which is not to say that this stuff is bad - oh, no, my friends, not at ALL! I like Gosling's Black Seal with Coke & a wedge of lime on ice. Rich and sweet, with a little spiciness pushing through, of course, and some almost-burnt butterscotch/caramel taste at the very end of the finish (aftertaste) gives this rum some serious character! Worth a try.

An inexpensive rum in the States, but very dark and sweet. I would never consider it a sipping rum and it is far too sweet for a rum and coke. It must get its black color from some additive. I've never tried a Dark and Stormy, but I can see that may the ideal mix--a little spice to cut the sweetness.

Quite a dark rum but not as strong as it looks. A great mixer, & very easy to drink, but is on the sweeter side of things with a dryness at the end. The only problem I have with this rum is the $70 price tag. If it was $40 I'd be back for more.
