Gosling's Family Reserve Old

Nettes und rundes Ding. Am Gaumen fühlt er sich schon fast etwas dickflüssig an. Gefiel mir sehr!

This is a blend of rums distilled in cognac and grappa (italian pomace brandy) pot stills. Each bottle is coated with black wax seal and numbered. In the glass it has a rich velvety dark maroon colour. Aroma comes in with an initial bouquet of apricots, peaches, and raisins, developing into heavy fruitcake and maple. In the mouth it is sweet with hints of caramel, dates and maple in the back of the tongue, and very smooth with almost no burn. Pleasantly surprised and highly recommended!

Very nice on ice..havent had Goslings in years. My father-in law gifted me this special bottle.

Initial smell is nice with sweet aroma but initial flavor misses but almost a second later you get a smooth, warming sensation of caramel sweetness that is enjoyable. Cool numbered bottle in cool case.

Weich, nicht zu süss, Bitterschokolade und etwas Karamell. Nicht sehr komplex. Für den Preis und im Vergleich zu anderen, die ich mit 8 bewertet habe, zu wenig Charakter. Deshalb nur 7,5 Punkte.

Tmave zbarveny, vyrazna vyvazena chut, dal nevim hlavne mit dost znaku...

Has a rounded sweet almost caramel taste on the front of the tongue, and a slight oaky taste at the back. Goes down smooth as water, no burn to speak of. If it wasn't for the price I could easily consume half a bottle of this in an evening as it's so easy to drink. Fantastic.

This is RICH!! Whoever said the aroma fills a whole room, they're not kidding! It's powerful and just keeps coming! Carries heavy notes of molasses (duh), but underneath there's some tobacco, fresh bread and cinnamon. Smooth and friendly as you drink it, which definitely isn't something I can say for most other blackstraps. Palate again gives you that big ol' molasses taste (shocker), but it carries basically everything underneath it. When I say everything, I mean marshmallow, coffee, woodsmoke, cinnamon, something metallic, and some apple as well. The finish then comes in, not too strong, but is curiously oily and tangy at the same time. I'm doing my best to describe it, but I know I'm not doing a good job... You really can't imagine what this rum is like until you try it. (That means go try it!!)

Tasted it in a restaurant after the meal. Liked it. Colour cherry-like and some "fruit" to it (lightly). Spicy and smooth as a good old rhum. Nothing outstanding however.
