Gosling Rum

Gosling's is Bermuda in a bottle. Distilled and blended by Gosling Brothers — a family business on the island since 1806 — Gosling's dark rum is one of the most storied names in the spirit, prized for its deep color, charred-molasses richness, and unmistakable maritime character. If you love bold, full-flavored dark rum, this is the shelf to know, and it is the beating heart of one of the world's great highballs.

This collection gathers the Gosling's bottlings we carry. The one to start with is Gosling Rum Black Seal Dark Rum Bermuda ($27.99) — as dark as motor oil and packed with charred, toffee-and-molasses flavor, it is the rum the Dark 'n' Stormy was invented around, and in fact the only rum that can legally make that trademarked cocktail in the United States. Sip it over ice, pour it into a rum punch, or build the highball it was born for.

Want more storm in your glass? Gosling Rum Black 151 Dark Rum Bermuda ($27.09) is the overproof Bermuda bottling — a high-strength dark rum that makes a dramatic float on top of a Dark 'n' Stormy and adds serious backbone to any tiki cocktail. A little goes a long way, so treat it with respect and let its intensity do the work.

How to enjoy it: Gosling's shines in the Dark 'n' Stormy (build it tall over ice, top with spicy ginger beer, float the rum, and squeeze a lime), but it is equally at home in a rum swizzle, a dark rum punch, or simply neat as a rich after-dinner sipper. Because the flavor is so deep and molasses-forward, it stands up to bold mixers and holds its own against plenty of ice.
