Distiller Notes
Goslings Black Seal Rum, made from a 150-year-old Gosling family recipe, uses the finest distillates aged in charred American oak casks. The smooth, full flavor is the result of a careful blend of aged pot still and continuous still distillates. One imparts flavor, the other yields a subtle elegance.
Black Seal Rum is the key ingredient in Bermuda's National Drink – the Dark ‘n Stormy. Goslings' trademarked cocktail, a delicious mix of Black Seal Rum and Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer, appears like a storm cloud in a glass and evokes the mystique of Bermuda.

Most often aged in heavily charred barrels for a longer period compared to other styles of Rum, Dark Rums are also produced entirely from caramelized sugar or molasses. This process yields some of the strongest and sweetest flavors that the spirits world has to offer. Dark Rums can serve as an excellent base for tropical cocktails, with the added spice and caramel notes casting an exotic edge to drinks like Daquiris and Hurricanes.
