Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum
155 years seems long enough. So the deep, dark secret rum that Goslings has enjoyed for generations is now going public. Appropriately called Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum, it is crafted from the same incomparable Bermuda blend that they use for their renowned Black Seal Rum. But, they leave it resting in oak barrels even longer, aging it until it has acquired an extra luscious, nuanced complexity much like a rare Scotch or Cognac. Consider it the ultimate sipping rum. A spirit this unusual deserves more than the usual bottle and label. So they lovingly take each bottle, hand label it, dip it in wax, number it, encircle it with a metal band and then place it in a straw-filled wooden box reminiscent of days past.
Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 5 Year Old Rum
This first spends four years maturing under the Jamaican sun in American oak barrels, soaking up the island's unique character. Then, for a final year of refinement, it embarks on a trip to Europe. The aroma is a captivating blend of dried fruit, hinting at raisins and prunes, balanced with the warmth of black pepper, tobacco, and oak spice. A subtle smokiness adds intrigue, while notes of chocolate and cinnamon complete the inviting bouquet. The palate is a symphony of flavours, with vanilla sweetness intertwining with the grassy character of sugar cane. Zesty orange bursts through, followed by the rich comfort of caramel and cream. Hints of baking spices linger on the long finish, a testament to the rum's unique journey.
