About this deal

What sets Goslings Rum apart from other rums on the market is its unique blend of aged rums from various Caribbean countries. The black rum is poured gently over the ginger beer to create a layered effect that resembles dark clouds looming over the sea.

The Goslings started formulating rum blends in 1860, and in three years, they had developed Old Rum, a dark, full-bodied rum. Goslings is the island’s oldest business and has been a staple of Bermudian culture since it was founded by James Gosling in 1806. Taking a whiff from the glass, the spirit smells pretty much exactly like you’d expect from a good rum. A nod to this history can be found today with the premium expression Family Reserve Old Rum, an extra-aged spirit that is bottled in a black wax-sealed Champagne bottle much like the days of old. It provides the right balance of depth and character that appeals to both novices and spirits aficionados.

I’m a little sad that this no longer comes in a secondhand champagne bottle with a black wax sealed stopper (and this honestly feels like a missed marketing opportunity). There’s a bright note in here that I don’t see elsewhere, like a bit of lime or citrus fruit shining through. Crushed ice is used to balance out the heavy Gosling's Rum, making for a boozy and delicious cocktail. This extremely limited expression is aged for more than 15 years in the balmy Bermuda climate, with production limited to just 12 barrels annually.

It allowed us the opportunity to experiment with conditioning the barrel prior to aging the rum,” which is the most he will reveal about this special process. If you think you may have an alcohol problem please contact the SAMHSA national helpline to get assistance.This cocktail is best enjoyed with friends and family, preferably with your feet in the water, whether it's at the beach or by the pool.

All reviews are evaluated within the context of their specific spirit classification as specified above. Made with two different types of rum, brandy, refreshing fruit juices, grenadine, and angostura bitters, this cocktail is perfectly balanced and dangerously delicious.It is usually served in a hurricane glass and is perfect for those who want to feel like they are on a tropical vacation.

The liquid inside really is that black, and only the Goslings logo and the playful seal sticker are actual stickers on the front. If you ask someone to think of a tropical cocktail recipe, they’ll probably name any number of fruity and colorful rum drinks, like a Daiquiri or a Sex on the Beach—but there’s one tropical rum cocktail that is rich and a little more brooding than its mixed-drink relatives: the Dark ‘N’ Stormy.

Brown spirits have been on a meteoric rise in popularity over the past decade, fueled by the explosive growth of bourbon. The caramel notes of the rum are beautifully balanced with the ginger beer, making it a refreshing and addictive drink. Made with Goslings Rum and ginger beer, this cocktail is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors. In this blog post, I will be sharing some of the best Goslings Rum cocktail recipes that I have come across in my years behind the bar. Our trademarked cocktail had its origins in a Bermuda ginger beer factory run as a subsidiary to the Royal Naval Officer’s Club.
