Gosling's Family Reserve Old

This my favourite rum. Dark, rich, complex flavors. Always have a bottle in my cabinet.

Visited a different liquor store and found this. On the expensive side. Rather plain though, nothing special about it. Would take 2 zacapas rather than this for the price

Pretty good rum. Not great, but very nice to chill with.

Nice and sippable with a darker colour than your average rum. Worth tasting because it is a bit different, but doesn’t quite live up to expectations based on the price.

So delicious, smooth, charming. Simply, the best drink in my life.

For the price, age, and ratings, I expected more. Good taste, But not as smooth as I’d like.

A very fresh rum that can be enjoyed by most. One of my favourites

Highly recommend this rum. It's enjoyable and smooth.

Dosage: 10-15 gr/L
This rum is not too sweet. Reminds me of Zaya 12 (cocoa and spice).
It's quite rich. I get cocoa, dry fruits and herbs in the nose. There is also the burned sugar and mandarine. Aromas are from a column still, but the combination is not bad.

The taste goes also in that direction. I get burned sugar, tannins, dry fruits (I have mandarine and peaches here). In the end some caramel, cocoa and cloves.
The finish is spicy, again tannins, dry fruits and caramel with cocoa.

It's a nice Christmas rum on the cocoa sind. Would rate it with 76 points.

Smell: cocoa, dry fruits, herbs, burned sugar, mandarine, some spices, some barrel (oak).
Taste: burned sugar, tannins, dry fruits (mandarin, peach), caramel, cocoa, cloves
Finish: spice, some tannins, cocoa, dark chocolate, spices, oak and earth

Sweetness: 2.5/5

Mildness: 3.5/5

i really like this, but again another rum i wish had been sweetened less and presented at 90 proof. lovely treacle, caramel, and brown butter notes in nose and taste. really want this to be better, so much potential. for the price you can do a lot better. if they could fix the price or the proof, i could see this as a 9....
