Goslings Black Seal 80 Proof Rum is a legendary dark rum with a rich heritage and bold character that has made it a staple for rum lovers and cocktail enthusiasts around the world. Distilled in Bermuda and aged in charred oak barrels, Goslings Black Seal is famous for its smooth texture, complex flavour profile, and deep, mahogany hue. The name "Black Seal" refers to the black wax originally used to seal the bottles, a symbol of quality and tradition that dates back to the mid-1800s.
