Bermuda’s Goslings Rum has grow to be a staple in numerous watering holes, each waterside and landlocked, over its 200-plus yr historical past. There’s the bartender pleasant flagship, Black Seal, that contains, as a rule, the bottom of the traditional (and trademarked) Darkish N’ Stormy cocktail (together with their very own model of remarkable ginger beer, if you’ll find it). Then there’s the extra sipping-inclined Family Reserve “Old Rum” and the much more luxe Papa Seal Single Barrel, which we’ve but to pattern, sadly. What’s lacking? I assume it’s this bottle, Goslings Black Seal 151 Proof, designed purely for the intense partygoers and flaming cocktail lovers amongst us. So, what does Goslings Black Seal at practically twice the alcohol content material style like? <Checks room for open flames.> Let’s discover out!

The palate isn’t as en fuego as I’d anticipated, at the least not up entrance. That’s under no circumstances an encouragement to drink this one neat. Earlier than my tongue had an opportunity to go numb (and it will definitely does), I bought various traditional Black Seal character: wealthy, darkish molasses, dried ginger, and many baking spice. The end, what’s not engulfed in flames, is filled with vibrant, candy RedHots and peppery oak. A advantageous backbar novelty, good for a birthday candle in your subsequent shooter, however which might nearly cross for a cocktail base. At half the measure, in fact.
