Goslings Gold Seal Gold Bermuda Rum 750ml

Goslings Gold Seal Gold Bermuda Rum: The Sun-Kissed Spirit of the Isles

Discover a golden standard in Bermudian rum with Goslings Gold Seal Gold Bermuda Rum. From the venerable Gosling Brothers Ltd., a family-owned business with over two centuries of distilling expertise on the island, Gold Seal offers a versatile and remarkably smooth expression that stands as a perfect complement to their iconic Black Seal Rum. It embodies the sun-drenched spirit and maritime heritage of Bermuda in every sip.

Goslings Gold Seal is crafted through a meticulous blending process that utilizes the finest distillates from both continuous column stills and traditional pot stills. This strategic combination allows for a rum that captures both the lighter, purer notes from column distillation and the richer, more aromatic complexities from pot distillation. The resulting amber spirit is then aged separately in once-used American oak barrels, primarily ex-bourbon casks, for up to five years. This aging process imparts a beautiful golden hue and mellows the rum, infusing it with subtle oak, vanilla, and fruit notes while maintaining a vibrant character.

First launched in 2016, Goslings Gold Seal Rum replaced the brand's previous Gold Rum, offering a refined and reformulated recipe that has quickly become a favorite among rum enthusiasts. Bottled at a balanced 40% ABV (80 Proof), it is designed for exceptional versatility, equally enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or as a premium mixer.

Key Characteristics:

• Bermuda Origin: Authentically crafted by Gosling Brothers Ltd. on the island of Bermuda since 1806.
• Gold Rum Style: A premium amber rum, offering a richer profile than white rums, yet lighter than dark rums.
• Blend of Still Types: Combines column and pot still distillates for a balanced complexity.
• Aged in American Oak: Matured for up to five years in once-used ex-bourbon barrels.
• Versatile Proof (40% ABV): Ideal for a wide range of serving preferences.
• Successor to Goslings Gold Rum: A refined and re-formulated version of their classic gold offering.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Bright, inviting golden amber.
• Nose: Medium-bodied and inviting, with sweet notes of crème anglaise, vanilla, and toasted oak. Hints of stone fruits (apricot, peach), dried citrus peels, and a delicate tropical fruit salad intertwine with a subtle waft of spice.
• Palate: Gentle, rounded, and remarkably smooth. Flavors of sweet vanilla and luscious apricot lead, harmonizing with notes of mango and a clean, light oak presence. A touch of zest, fruit salad, and a subtle nutty undertone create a delightful balance, with a gentle pepper note emerging on the mid-palate.
• Finish: Long, clean, and pleasantly smooth. Lingering notes of sweet oak, a delicate spice, and a hint of tropical fruit provide a warm and satisfying conclusion.

Awards & Recognition:

Goslings Gold Seal Gold Bermuda Rum has received positive acclaim since its introduction, building upon Goslings' long-standing reputation for quality. While specific awards can vary, it has been recognized for its balanced profile:

• Gold Award winner at the 2003 International Rum Festival Awards (for its predecessor, "Gosling's Gold," which Gold Seal replaced, indicating consistent quality).
• Praised by reviewers as a "very tasty gold rum" that is "light to mix well but with lots of flavor."
• Often recommended as an excellent mixing rum that is "gently sweet, perfectly mellow, no offensive notes."

Overall Impression:

Goslings Gold Seal Gold Bermuda Rum is a superb example of a well-crafted gold rum, perfectly showcasing the Goslings family's centuries-old methods. Its balanced blend, careful aging, and approachable proof make it exceptionally versatile. Whether you're crafting classic rum cocktails like a Bermuda Rum Swizzle, elevating a Rum & Ginger Ale, or simply enjoying it neat or on the rocks, Gold Seal offers a taste of Bermudian sunshine and refined rum heritage.
