Distiller Notes
Crafted from the same Bermuda blend as Black Seal, Goslings Family Reserve Old rum is left resting in once used charred oak barrels where it is aged until it has acquired a luscious well balanced complexity much like a rare scotch or cognac.
This old rum is aged for between 16 and 19 years, and is the ultimate sipping rum. It was named the #1 Aged Rum in the World by the Caribbean Journal. Try after dinner with a rich dessert, or paired with a cigar. Best served neat or with one cube of ice, in a snifter or rocks glass.
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.
