Ron Goslings Black Seal 151 (Bermuda)

Since 1858, Gosling’s Black Seal 151  has been one of the finest rums widely unavailable.

Today, unlike most spirits, Black Seal 151  includes products of both pot stills, as used in fine Cognacs, and continuous stills, as used in grappa. One imparts flavour, the other yields a subtle elegance. Together they work wonders.

Gosling’s Black Seal 151 has a rich, intricate flavour, well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel. Or, as expressed up by the Beverage Tasting Institute when they awarded it their highest honour, the Platinum Medal: “Deep, assertive and highly flavoured. Very fragrant with herbal sharpness.

At the finish there is a softness and elegance. A most complex, unusual spirit.” We were pleased, but hardly surprised. After all, we’ve been at this awhile.
