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.

Er god i en Dark and stormy drink, men ikke så god at drikke rent.
Deep amber colour; sweet, spicy molasses aromas with hints of fruit, vanilla and smoke; smooth intense flavour with a dry finish. Smells strong of alcohol too start but goes down fine after a little time to breathe. I will have to get ginger beer to try my first dark and stormy ,but it makes great rum and butter sauce.
Only got my hands on this because my father-in-law is moving and didn't want to pack the bottle. Still don't think it's worth what I (didn't) pay.
It's very boozy and uninteresting. Should only be used to mix, and frankly doesn't offer nothing you can't get in Captain Morgan or Bacardi.
I do love a dark & stormy with homemade ginger beer, and in that context the Black Seal is good. It won't impart a ton of flavor to the drink, but it won't distract from it, either. For a relatively cheap rum it doesn't have a strong alcohol burn, but it doesn't have much in terms of a particular character to recommend itself, either. Decent but not overpowering sweetness, with a clear molasses flavor. Heavy and flat with a syrupy mouthfeel.
I've yet to try Coruba or one of the substitute recipes for the currently-unavailable Kohala bay, but I'd suspect those would do you better than this one. Still, as the only officially-allowed rum in a dark & stormy, if nothing else this is branding at its finest.
Mixes well with ginger beer for a dark and stormy. Heavy on molasses for my taste

Great for making Dark and Stormy's but also great on its own.
Very sweet rum, nothing like the family reserve, this one def have added sugar.
Give a smokey taste too, tbh, I would compare this one more with the family of the spiced rum than the aged, fun to drink nit, and I guess very good in cocktails too.
'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."

I think this is a fine introduction to black rum. Has the flavor to go it alone with ginger ale or if you are a cola fan, no problem. Offers so much more than most rums you owe it to yourself to try it.
