The Original Gosling.
The story of the Gosling's Rum dates back to 1806 when James Gosling, who was sent out to the sea by his father, heading towards Virginia, with 10.000 pounds Sterling worth of wines and spirits. After 91 days the charter on the ship Mercury ran out and James had to settle on Bermuda, where he opened a wine and spirits shop.
James Gosling returned to England in 1824 to open a shop with his brother Ambrose, a shop the Goslings maintain to this day. Their first Rum was produced decades later, in 1863, called the Black Seal – Rum that is synonymous with Bermuda, where it's produced. Today, the 7th generation Goslings lead the family business, in Bermuda, and are the largest exporter of any Bermuda made product, as well as the only company that blends and bottles on said island.
Gosling Black Seal Dark Rum is produced using a blend of pot and column still Rums imported into Bermuda and aged 3 years in ex-Bourbon barrels. The Black Seal is great to sip with a cigar or mix with various cocktails.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Gosling's Black Seal
Don,
Spices all around. Nutmeg and maple are very front and center followed by a calming cinnamon. Brown sugar echoes the maple flavor. Usually I love Zacapa 23 but this narrowly edges out ahead of it.
Simeon,
Superior for the dark and stormy!
Name,
A standby in my bar - perfect for Dark & Stormys.
