Old Rum Family Reserve

Goslings Description

Crafted from the same Bermuda blend as Black Seal, Goslings Family Reserve Old rum is left resting in once used charred oak barrels where it is aged until it has acquired a luscious well balanced complexity much like a rare scotch or cognac.

This old rum is aged for between 16 and 19 years, and is the ultimate sipping rum. It was named the #1 Aged Rum in the World by the Caribbean Journal. Try after dinner with a rich dessert, or paired with a cigar. Best served neat or with one cube of ice, in a snifter or rocks glass.

The bouquet changes dramatically within the 10-minute nosing period from a baked aroma to an earthy, spicy, woodsy aroma. The palate entry is smooth, intensely oaky, yet semisweet; at midpalate the sweetness picks up in the forms of honey and molasses. Concludes elegantly, satiny smooth in the throat, and properly bittersweet.
