Today, unlike most spirits, Black Seal 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 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.”
A 5cl bottle, perfect for sampling just what this Gosling's Black Seal Rum has to offer!
Nose: Pungent treacle, stewed fruit and banana cake with a heat of warmth from cinnamon.
Palate: Dark muscovado sugar and treacle followed by yet another helping of spicy cinnamon with zesty orange and burnt fruit cake.
Finish: Mouth drying burnt toast with clove and burnt currants.
