Gosling's Black Seal 151 Proof

There isn't a better rum, anywhere. Careful though.

31st August 2021

I first tried the 151 black seal with a doubt, would the extra kick spoil the taste,the answer was in fact no...
But this may be due to the fact I had crushed ice and black seal on its own,nothing else.
Black seal has a unique taste,so why spoil it....but beware,a couple of them and you know it's got a punch and a half.

Gosling is THE best dark rum. Mixed with old Jamaica Ginger Beer and ice. Beautiful. First tasted this in Bermuda 1994, been my go to drink ever since. The 151 is the one to have. Hits the spot. Don't be dumb and dry and drink this neat. It will burn your eyes.

I cannot understand how anyone can review this rum as smooth. It’s possibly one of the roughest rums I’ve tasted. Maybe good for cocktails or with a mixer (Nelson will be turning in his grave!) Four Bells from Guyana for beautiful smooth rum.

151 proof eh? Well, if, like me, you had your doubts you can do what I did and tack on a 'drinks by the dram' sample onto an order - costs less than a single measure in a bar. The 'dram' is actually a generous measure. So, what's it like? I must admit to taking the merest sip 'as it came' just to see what it was like. It packs a punch, no doubt about it. Opened up with a drop of water it still held its ground. Smooth and easy to drink, it doesn't have the burnt sugar crunch of Woods or Pusser's Gunpowder. It's understandably 'dry' with more of a well aged single malt buzz to it - there's a definite hint of an aged cask in the flavour. I like it a lot and will be adding a bottle to my next order.

Makes an absolute belter of a Dark and Stormy. Be warned it gets messy very very quickly with this stuff.

I think this has a really nice taste, but the alcohol content takes some getting used to. I like cask strength whisky around 60%, but this is a different ball game. I will just have to work on it. Has anybody told Donald Trump about this, it might fit his idea of administering medicine on the inside!

Got this for a xmas get together cocktail mixer. Had one taste and thought, thats probably the best tasting rum I have had in a long while. Kept this and got some cheap stuff from tesco for the cocktail.
