Goslings Black Seal Rum

Abv: 40%. Volume: 70cl.
A blend of 3-6 year old distillates.

With a dark mahogany colour and rich, fruity, intense nose. It has a taste of prunes and dates together with chocolate, coffee and Christmas pudding. Rich, intricate, well balanced with hints of butterscotch, its intense colour comes from aging in once charred American bourbon barrels and the addition of molasses.
In 1806 the Gosling brothers decided to expand their business from London to New England. James Gosling set sail with a cargo of wines and spirits on The Mercury but storms hindered the journey forcing him to dock in Bermuda. Making the best of an uncertain situation, James opened a shop in St. George's, in December 1806. the Gosling family has been in Bermuda ever since… Over 200 years! Gosling Brothers is Bermuda's oldest business.

Dark and Stormy Cocktail

The Dark & Stormy embodies two great tastes of the tropics that and is darker than most tropical drinks, but is just as refreshing. This classic highball is a brand-specific mixed drink that is a completely, some would say wrong, taste if anything other than Gosling's Black Seal rum and ginger beer. Some bartenders will add lime juice to the drink, but the addition of citrus is unnecessary and can be overbearing.
Ingredients:

* 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal rum
* 3 oz Barrit's beer
* lime wedge for garnish if desired

Preparation:

1. Build the ingredients in a highball glass filled with ice cubes.
2. Garnish with the lime wedge.
