This rum is decent straight up smoother than I imagined, but nothing out of this world it does have some different types of flavor going in in it like some baking spices and brown sugar. It does mix well with their ginger beer, adds much flavor and no alcohol present at all.

Výrazný tmavý rum s hořkými tóny, dobrý do koktejlů, ale k popíjení mě nelákal.

Great for a dark n stormy, but not quite smooth enough to drink straight.

Great flavour, with a dark fruit (raisin maybe?) and molasses flavour. In the mouth it feels very thick when drank straight up.

A splash of ginger beer and Gosling's is one of my favourite rum cocktails.

Strong rum with a solid burn, a flavour which lingers, better served chilled with a quality ginger beer. Worth a look.
