Goslings Black Seal Rum 151 Proof

Goslings Black Seal Rum 151 Proof is the overproof version of Bermuda's Black Seal black rum, bottled at 75.5% ABV (151 proof) in a 750ml bottle. Goslings describes it as muscular but refined, descended from a long line of dark Bermuda rums, with a deep, rich flavour that is not overpowered by the alcohol burn common in high-strength spirits. The producer also notes that it took the Platinum Medal in the Overproof category at the International Rum Festival. In the glass it is dark amber, with an aroma of sweet dark chocolate and spice, molasses and caramel on the palate and a finish of coffee, tobacco and vanilla. Its strength and dark, rich character make it a rum for tropical and tiki-style mixed drinks, where a small measure adds depth and intensity.

Nose: Sweet dark chocolate with hints of cardamom and cinnamon.

Palate: Herbal notes with smooth molasses syrup and caramel.

Finish: Coffee and tobacco, sweet vanilla and lingering caramel.

Serve: In small measures in mixed drinks; it is very high in alcohol.
