Goslings Spirited Seas Ocean Aged Rum
Spirited Seas is a blend of premium dark rums finished at sea (eighty Atlantic crossings)! Out of the turbulent Atlantic Ocean comes Goslings Spirited Seas Rum. Hand selected ex bourbon barrels are filled with their superior rum from Bermuda and then loaded onto the M.V. Oleander, for a special year at sea to age. Traveling back and forth from Bermuda to the mid Atlantic, where the wild storms of the Gull Stream can magically appear. The result of its time at sea in these charred American white oak casks is an exquisitely elegant and complex rum with a lively, oaky nose. Hints of salted caramel and luscious spice wash over the palate to a clean and lingering finish.
