TASTING NOTES Goslings Black Seal® Rum
Platinum Medal • Rated ‘96’ / Best Buy-World Spirits Championships
Rich, very dark, intricate, and balanced, with hints of butterscotch, vanilla and caramel—full bodied and smooth. A family tradition; our flagship rum.
Goslings Gold Seal Rum
Introducing the newest super premium addition to the Goslings family. A blend of continuous and pot distilled rums, aged in once used bourbon American White Oak. Intense butterscotch aroma with floral hints and traces of vanilla. Toasted oak dried fruit and nutmeg. Initial sweetness leads to complex caramel flavors and layers of spice. Finish is dry, gentle, smooth and warming.
Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum
Double Gold • San Francisco Spirits Competition
Aged over 16 years, in charred oak, bourbon barrels. The character and elegance of old, rare cognac—complex, nuances of vanilla, stewed fruit, a touch of cigar box and leather. An exquisite sipping rum, the ultimate in after dinner elegance—a rum like no other—stately and demure, with a naughty past. 3
THE SPIRIT OF BERMUDA In 1806, with a ship full of spirits bound for America, Englishman James Gosling ran out of wind and time. His charter expired and they put in at the nearest port—Bermuda. There, on the King’s Parade, St. George’s, James opened a shop and the Gosling Family has been in Bermuda ever since. Around 1850, after much experimental blending, a distinctive black rum was offered for sale. Smooth and flavourful, at first it was simply called, “Old Rum”. Until the First World War it was sold straight from the barrel. Eventually, Old Rum was offered in Champagne bottles reclaimed from the British Officer’s Mess, with corks sealed with black wax. Soon people began asking for the rum with the “black seal”. Thirty years later, a play on words gave birth to the little, barrel juggling “Black Seal” and a tradition got it’s name. We make all our rums slowly, stubbornly and in limited quantities. Today, Gosling Brothers is Bermuda’s oldest business house and Goslings Rums are Bermuda’s number one export.

Goslings Black Seal Rum® is synonymous with the island paradise that is Bermuda. It is the warmth in a Bermuda Sunrise, the hook in Bermuda fish chowder, the island flavour in a Bermuda Rum Swizzle, the tempest in Bermuda’s National drink — the Dark ’n Stormy ®. Please try our Goslings Rums. I promise you’ll taste the difference— neat, on the rocks or in any cocktail. It’s just better. Cheers, Malcolm Gosling 5
DARK ’N STORMY®
(Bermuda’s National Cocktail) Into a tall glass filled with ice, put 6 oz of Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer, and float 2 oz of Goslings Black Seal Rum on top. Stir (until it looks like a storm cloud). Lime Optional… Enjoyment Mandatory! The Dark ’n Stormy ® is a trademarked cocktail, which mandates the use of Goslings Black Seal Rum. It was the first cocktail inducted into the Institute of Cocktail Excellence— Cocktail Hall Of Fame, Modern Classics Category. The Dark ’n Stormy originated in the ginger beer factory, run as a subsidiary to the Royal Naval Officer’s Club. It was soon discovered that a splash of the local black rum was just what the ginger beer was missing. The name is said to have originated when an old salt observed that the drink was the “colour of a cloud only a fool or dead man would sail under.” Probably followed by, “Barman, I’ll have another Dark ’n Stormy.” Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer was introduced a few years ago, to make the ultimate Dark ’n Stormy. Or try it with Diet Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer for a Diet Dark ’n Stormy! And perfect for any recipe calling for ginger beer: Moscow Mule, Bourbon & Ginger, among many other popular cocktails. 6
MOST COCKTAILS COME WITH A NAPKIN. THE DARK ’N STORMY® COMES WITH A TRADEMARK.

SHEILA’S MAYTAG HAD ONE SETTING: PARTY.

CHEERS!
In Memory of:
The “Swizzle Machine” Queen – Sheila West Gosling (1916-2011)
Sheila was always looking for a way to ‘entertain’ friends and visiting guests. For one planned evening of entertainment she decided that as a new ‘wringer’ (washing machine) had just arrived, she might be able to really ‘stir’ things up with a large batch of her famous “Rum Swizzles”. The evening was such a memorable hit in local folklore, that the wringer was never used for laundry and stored under cover for the next party. Many a sailor and sportsman have told tall tales of an evening at Sheila Gosling's in Bermuda. Sheila and her “Swizzle Machine” became legendary. Cheers! 11

~ BERMUDA SHORTS ~
Truth is, Bermuda Shorts did not originate in Bermuda. They were created by the Colonial Service in London at the turn of the 20th century as comfortable attire for personnel stationed in tropical and sub-tropical locales. Like, uh, Bermuda. Knowing a cool thing when they see it, Bermudians began copying the uniforms for civilian use in the 1950s. When paired with a Gosling’s Rum mixed with ginger beer over ice, the hot sun stands little chance.

Tennis was introduced to the United States from Bermuda by American sportswoman, Mary Ewing Outerbridge. After watching British officers play it on her vacation here, she purchased rackets and balls and brought them back to New York. (Sadly, she forgot to bring any Gosling’s Rum.)

GOSLINGS FAMILY RESERVE OLD RUM JUDGED #1 AGED RUM IN THE WORLD This special reserve has been a deep, dark Gosling family secret for generations. Appropriately called Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum, it’s crafted from the same incomparable Bermuda blend as our renowned Black Seal Rum. But, we age it in our oak barrels even longer, until it acquires an extra luscious, nuanced complexity, much like a rare Scotch or Cognac. Each bottle is carefully hand labeled and dipped in black sealing wax. Reminiscent of how Black Seal was packaged in the early part of the 20th century. The ultimate sipping rum and judged #1 aged rum in the world by the Caribbean Journal.

Yes, there really are beaches in Bermuda with gorgeous pink sands. It’s the result of tiny single-celled organisms called red foram that flourish under rocks. When they die, their skeletons are eroded by waves and mix with other particles of shells, coral and sea urchins, which together form grains of pink sand. A great place to pause and toast the little guys with a Gosling’s Rum in appreciation. 37
