Upon first taste of this rum it was clear that this had to mixed to be even slightly enjoyable. while dark n stormy with this rum is seemingly a fan favorite I was not a fan. Black Kraken is a much better mixer than this even though it's cheaper.

if you want a "Dark 'n' Stormy".
The ginger beer is actually the key as I've found a VAST range of flavors within "ginger beer"; Gosling's GB is tasty, although not cheap.

One of my favorites...

Still not the biggest fan of Black rums but its a quality product and has always been on my back bar. Stick it in punch or afloat the top of your Zombies!

Professional Reviews

'well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel'

"Goslings Black Seal rum review by The Ultimate Rum Guide"

The nose is very pungent. Heavy thick treacly molasses and sweet caramel.

"It’s initially sweet like liquorice, there is a little heat and spice in the mix and the finish is long and slightly bitter."
