Product Information

From classic drinks like the Dark and Stormy to modern twists like the Goslings Rum Punch, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy this versatile spirit. These days, he shifted his focus to teaching people how they can make unique cocktails in the comforts of their own homes. If you substitute vodka for rum in a Dark ‘N’ Stormy (and serve it in a copper mug), you get a Moscow Mule. The fruity flavors are near the end, with the brown sugar and vanilla taking a prominent role in the middle of the experience.

Drinkers are becoming more adventurous and crossing over into other categories, with aged rum being an obvious choice. A nod to this history can be found today with the premium expression Family Reserve Old Rum, an extra-aged spirit that is bottled in a black wax-sealed Champagne bottle much like the days of old.First, there’s the fruity, jammy note that is mixing very well with the lime juice to make something that really tastes like an island cocktail. These bottles were stopped with black sealing wax, which is where the brand eventually obtained its name —“Black Seal Rum. The Goslings recipe remains a carefully guarded secret, but the family says it has changed very little since its creation. When poured carefully, the rum will float atop the ginger beer, creating an overcast look similar to a stormy sky. This time spent in-barrel imbues the rum with its deep flavor and notes of vanilla, caramel, and dried fruit.

He didn’t exactly make it that far, though — the charter for this ship he was sailing on expired, and as a result they landed in Bermuda instead. If you are making a dish that needs flambéing, savoury or sweet, then Gosling's Black Seal 151 Rum is the perfect choice. Made with Gosling's Black Seal rum and ginger beer, this cocktail is a perfect blend of sweetness and spice.

Taking a whiff from the glass, the spirit smells pretty much exactly like you’d expect from a good rum. This cocktail is best enjoyed with friends and family, preferably with your feet in the water, whether it's at the beach or by the pool. There’s no specificity as to whether the base is from sugar, molasses, or something else… but molasses would be my guess.

It's made with Gosling Black Seal Rum, Orgeat Syrup, Orange Juice, and Pomegranate Molasses, creating a burst of flavor. For the pot still, the resulting flavorful spirit is placed into oak barrels for an undisclosed period of time to age. The specific recipe remains a family secret, but we can piece together the broad strokes of how this comes together. As a former bartender instructor, he's spent years perfecting his craft and taught many students the art of making cocktails like a pro. It seems to be designed for the speed well and not the back bar — something that gets used, rather than shown off.Our trademarked cocktail had its origins in a Bermuda ginger beer factory run as a subsidiary to the Royal Naval Officer’s Club. The company started formulating their own rum in the 1860s, creating a dark, well-aged rum that was primarily sold in casks. It is usually served in a hurricane glass and is perfect for those who want to feel like they are on a tropical vacation. What sets Goslings Rum apart from other rums on the market is its unique blend of aged rums from various Caribbean countries. Made with Goslings Rum and ginger beer, this cocktail is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors.

Starting in the early 20th century, the rum was sold in used Champagne bottles (a favorite drink of British naval officers at the time) and sealed with black wax. I’m a little sad that this no longer comes in a secondhand champagne bottle with a black wax sealed stopper (and this honestly feels like a missed marketing opportunity). However, we feel they've worked wonders, although we advise that you use it very sparingly in the making of the classic ginger beer cocktail - the dark 'N' stormy.And the island’s tropical climate helps to accelerate the aging process, as the heat and humidity maximizes the interaction between the rum and the wood. That fermented mash is then distilled two different ways — one version using a copper pot still, and the other a column still. It combines light and dark rum with banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, and fresh citrus juices for a sweet and delicious beverage that tastes like an adult version of fruit punch. It allowed us the opportunity to experiment with conditioning the barrel prior to aging the rum,” which is the most he will reveal about this special process.
