Gosling's Family Reserve Old

This is an verry interesting ron Not sweet mich fruit

This is a very tasty rum.. enjoyed neat. Don’t hesitate to try it if you find it. You won’t be disappointed. It’s much better than the black label.

When you said dark, full rum... you are still far from this.
Heavy and rich. Just a drop and your mouth will be full of tastes for looong minutes.

Vanilla/molasses nose reminiscent of their black rum. Very floral on the tongue, smooth, definitely mellowed with age. Slightly spicy but a nice warm after taste. Great when it has a chance to breathe and chill on ice. Bought this with a bottle of Papa Seal and will buy this one again over the Papa Seal.

This is one of those “must try before you die” rums. It’s smooth and delightful. It’s gosling’s on another level. Unfortunately, the pricetag is it’s greatest enemy. Any boxed rum will run you an extra penny, but this one doesn’t quite earn its retail denomination. Regardless, it is a wonderful drink for any cocktail or enjoyed on the rocks. Get it as a special gift, but only if you really like the person your gifting it to.

Absolutely whole complete balanced rum. Wine taste, aroma of plums, dried fruits, spices, dense and smooth. Not alcoholic. Just one light touch is missing to make it incredible.

Абсолютно цельный, полный, сбалансированный ром. Винный вкус, аромат сливы, сухофруктов, специй плотный и гладкий. Не спиртуозен. Не хватает лишь одного лёгкого штриха, чтобы он мог стать невероятным.

This was in my advent calendar and was the first one I absolutely loved. Really smooth, will be getting a bottle ASAP.

Disappointing considering what I paid for it, but a good enough rum nonetheless.

Coffee, chocolate, caramel and chili on the nose.
Maple syrup, coffee, cocoa and dill on the palate.

The first things that struck me was the colour, which is dark mahogany. There is little on the nose compared to most rums. I got a hint of pepper and very faint molasses.
On the tongue, I found it a little disappointing. It's not a bad rum for sure - better than average, actually - but given some of what I have read and that this is their best regular rum, I was expecting more. On the tongue, I did not find much complexity. I got mainly wood and the a stronger alcoholic warmth than usual. There is a little tobacco in there too. It's quite dry, but also very warm. - which I found was the main aftertaste.
