Goslings 151 Overproof Rum
Goslings 151 Overproof Rum is built on the same dark, molasses‑rich foundation as the brand’s famous Black Seal, but bottled at a powerful 75.5% ABV to deliver intensity, depth and serious mixing strength. Goslings has been producing rum in Bermuda since the mid‑1800s, and the 151 expression was created to give bartenders a high‑proof option for tiki drinks, punches and classic flaming cocktails. Its reputation grew alongside the rise of mid‑20th‑century tiki culture, where overproof rums became essential for layered, high‑impact flavour. Its aroma shows deep molasses, dark caramel, warm spice and a hint of smoke. On the palate, it offers a bold, concentrated texture with notes of treacle, burnt sugar, baking spice and a touch of oak, all carried by its high proof. The finish is long, warm and intensely spiced, making it a potent choice for cocktails that need structure, heat and a rich dark‑rum backbone.
Pyrat XO Rum
Pyrat XO Reserve Rum is a richly flavoured Caribbean spirit crafted from a blend of aged rums sourced primarily from the West Indies. Distilled in small batches and matured in a combination of French Limousin and American oak barrels, it embodies a distinctive character shaped by time, tradition, and tropical ageing. The bottle itself, inspired by old Caribbean rum decanters, reflects the brand’s homage to maritime heritage and the spirit of the seafaring age. On the nose, Pyrat XO offers an intense bouquet of candied orange peel, vanilla, and sweet spices, underpinned by hints of molasses and toasted oak. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with layers of citrus zest, caramel, cinnamon, and honeyed fruit, leading to a long, warming finish with a touch of spice and lingering sweetness. Its bold yet approachable profile makes it ideal for sipping neat or as a luxurious base for premium rum cocktails.
