Makes a good dark and stormy and all that, yeah. But the real treat is having this by itself.

Taste from far, far away island of Bermuda, this is something special for me. I love it! Like real Rum, to speak so. Tried it in "Dark & Stormy" and that was a drink, like a very good medicine for me. Just a bit to sweet for the moment, I belive next one will suit even more. Will update after second try...
Recommend!

Unlike a Bacardi that brashly announces its presence, and overstates its strength, the Black Seal mixes quietly into a drink, adding a bit of sweetness to the flavor. Smooth enough to sip, excellent to mix, and most importantly: does not bring on a hangover the way that the more harsh rums will.

I was young, in Bermuda, drinking with a mixed bunch of young scientists. One of the asked if we wanted Dark and Stormies. I had no idea! Since then, rum has been a constant joy, so Black Seal has a special place in my heart (palate?)

Used Myers dark rum for years for mixer until my first dark and stormy in Key West. Still like Myers but this makes the dark and stormy especially if you like more dark than stormy. Molases sweet with bitters style back-note is perfect for this drink.

Nothing I prefer as avec or for zipping, but perfect for my favourite rumdrink “Dark ‘N’ Stormy”.

Nichts Besonderes. Für meinen Geschmack zu starker cherry Abgang.

I love full-bodied, dark rums with lots of flavor and this one fits the bill nicely. Chocolate and port wine come through with every sip. Beautiful color, too. Enjoy it neat. Live a little!
