GOSLINGS - Black Seal 70cl Bottle

In the spring of 1806, London wine & spirits merchant James Gosling set out from England aboard the chartered clipper Mercury with 10,000 dollars of merchandise bound for the Virginias. The voyage was a difficult one. Ninety-one consecutive days of calm left the crew and passengers in dire straits and the charter of Mercury was fast running out. The ship eventually made port in St. Georges, Bermuda, where Gosling and his family decided to set up shop rather than press on to America. James Gosling opened a shop on King's Parade, St George's in December 1806. To this day the company remains the oldest surviving business in Bermuda and is still a family concern. In the World Spirits Championship conducted by the Beverage Tasting Institute,Gosling's Black Seal Rum was awarded a Platinum Medal in a blind taste test consisting of an extensive collection of world class rums, Black Seal was rated 96 out of a possible 100 and Best Buy. The corks were secured in place with the use of black sealing wax, prompting people to refer to the brand as 'Black Seal.'
