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.

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
Very nice color and smell. Smooth, also a nice finish.

For cocktail enthusiasts seeking a rum that brings a bold character and versatile mixability to their creations, Goslings Black Seal Rum is certainly a bottle to consider.
Absolutely lovely smell - you can smell an empty glass forever. Taste is not so great solo (alcohol is rather harsh), but for drinks (of course Dark'n Stormy - I didn't drink a better version than with this rum) it's absolutely fantastic stuff.
Pretty allright rum. Has a taste which would suit more in a sharper cocktail like dark n stormy or moscow mule. Probably not the best candidate for a sipping rum.
This rum is quite ok when drunk neat. Hits all the right boxes when it comes to those chocolatey, truffle molasses. But there are also strong notes of alcohol and artificial flavours that ultimately leave it inferior to some counterparts. It is great as a mixer when you drink it with dark n' stormys. A must when you visit Bermuda!
'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.
"Itβs initially sweet like liquorice, there is a little heat and spice in the mix and the finish is long and slightly bitter."
