The James Gosling family business first produced Gosling Black Seal rum in 1806, and it is now the oldest surviving business on the island of Burmuda.
Gosling 'Black Seal' rum received it's name from the black wax originally used to seal the bottles. It is Bermuda's most widely exported product and considered the nation's national drink.

Made an account just to rate this as the first! Rum newbie, this one is really showing off how diverse rum can be!
Deep aroma, beautiful long lasting caramel and cocoa notes. Sip is warming with a creamy mouth feel, long finish. Peppery notes on top of the body. Lovely, excited to mix with it as well.

This is great as a mixer and not too bad as a sipper.

Tastes old. Not aged, old. Like when you got your first round of shots when you were 16 or like what youโd get if you asked for rum in old, old England.
Probably makes a couple of ok cocktails, but just tastes sort of weird and thereโs far nicer options to mix with.
A bit like an 80s version of Kraken I guess.

This was an ok rum, but only use it for mixed drinks. It is good with a D&S , but definitely not a sipping rum in my opinion.

For the price you canโt beat this rum for your everyday sipper. A nice and dark rum with a great molasses flavour. It is definitely an all-rounder great for mixing and great for sipping. Donโt bypass this Bermuda ๐ง๐ฒ beauty.
Distinctive taste which goes well in cocktails but Iiked it less when drinking it neat.

Goslings Black Seal rum is my go to rum. I take it neat or with ginger beer as my favourite cocktail, a Dark and Stormy. In Bermuda they have rum on the table in restaurants to add to their famous fish soup. Gotta love a country that considers rum a condiment.

To sweet for drink as sipper, but for mixing its best choice

Appearance dark brownish red. Nice green around the edges from the aging. Initially smells like curry, with lime and vanilla. Tastes sweet and caramely with a hint of maple syrup. Lime comes through on the initial finish, transitioning to something more bitter on the lingering finish. Also tastes bit of tobacco on the finish, which gets stronger the more I drink. Slight creamy mouthfeel. Overall not bad for mixing.
