I love full-bodied, dark rums with lots of flavor and this one fits the bill nicely. Chocolate and port wine come through with every sip. Beautiful color, too. Enjoy it neat. Live a little!

This one is the one to use to make a Dark 'n Stormy. For my everyday drink i use kraken since it´s cheaper. But this one is okay. Even if i prefer the 151 instead for the faster buzz..

This rum is perfect for the Dark N Stormy cocktail with it´s dark, thick flavor. Also good in tiki drinks, obviously.

need I say more? Goslings with bundaberg ginger beers or home made ginger beer is near perfect. Coruba is slighty better but cant take much away from Goslings except that they have a aggressive copyright policy and send letters to people who use the dns name without permission. So BOO and -3 points.

A very dark rum which is best used in drinks. Leans on it's history.

Haven’t tried sipping it, but it’d probably be okay; went straight for the sailor’s drink, with ginger beer — was delicious!

You can't go wrong with this. It's not the best, but very serviceable. I always come back to it for mixing with other lighter rums

I made a north south trip across the United States of America looking for this rum. I finally found it south of Austin, TX (1800 miles from home).
My goal was to try a legal “Dark N’ Stormy”. I finally had it. Now I have had it using other dark rums, however I feel the drink is truly made for Goslings Black Seal.
The rum is smooth with a nice finish. I am even enjoying it neat. I am surprised how good it is. Others may rate it as a “drink if you have to”, but it is far better than that. The bottle is almost gone and I will buy it again , if I can find it.
