Gosling's Rum Old Family Reserve 750ML
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.
Smooth, complex, and elegant with traces of smoke, vanilla and cigar box.
A family business for over 200 years, Goslings Rum is Bermuda’s largest export product and the only company that blends and bottles rum on the island. First exported to the United States in 1980, Goslings offers five distinctive, award-winning rums: Goslings Black Seal Rum, Goslings Gold Seal Rum, Goslings 151 Proof Black Seal Rum, Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum, and Goslings Papa Seal Single Barrel Bermuda Rum. Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer, crafted specifically for use in the trademarked Goslings Dark ’n Stormy® cocktail, is the number-one selling ginger beer in the United States. Goslings also markets a ready-to-drink Dark 'n Stormy® cocktail in a can.
In the spring of 1806 James Gosling, the oldest son of William Gosling, wine and spirits merchant, set out from England on the ship, Mercury, with £10,000 of merchandise, bound for America. After ninety one desperate days on a becalmed sea their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. George's, Bermuda. Rather than pressing on for America, James opened a shop on the King's Parade, St. George's in December 1806. In 1857, the first oak barrels of rum distillate arrived in Bermuda. After much trial and error, the distinctive Bermuda black rum destined to be Black Seal was formulated and offered for sale. The secret blend of three different rums, aged independently, was not called Black Seal at first. It was called Old Rum. In fact, up until the First World War it was only sold from the barrel, and most folks brought in their own bottles for a 'fill up'. Eventually the black rum was sold in champagne bottles, reclaimed from the British Officer's Mess, and the corks sealed with black sealing wax. Pretty soon people began to ask for the rum with the "Black Seal". Many years later the idea of the little, barrel juggling "Black Seal" was born. The rest is, well, rum history.
Proof/ABV: 80
