Gosling Black Seal Rum 151

Since 1858 Gosling’s Black Seal has been one of the finest rums widely unavailable. Today unlike most spirits Black Seal includes products of both pot stills as used in fine Cognacs and continuous stills as used in grappa. One imparts flavor the other yields a subtle elegance. Together they work wonders. 75.5% ABV 151 Proof Gosling’s Black Seal has a rich intricate flavor well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch vanilla and caramel. Or as expressed up by the Beverage Tasting Institute when they awarded it their highest honor the Platinum Medal: Deep assertive and highly flavored. Very fragrant with herbal sharpness. At the finish there is a softness and elegance. The most complex unusual spirit. We were pleased but hardly surprised. After all we’ve been at this awhile.
