Gosling’s Old Rum is a perfect gift.

A good bottle of rum or perhaps a special bottle of whiskey or perhaps a bottle or two of wine may be the perfect present for your dad on Father’s Day.If you are talking about rum, then Gosling’s Family Reserve Old Rum could be just the ticket.This is the rum that the Goslings have enjoyed for generations but now sells to the public.It is crafted from the same incomparable Bermuda blend that they use for their renowned Black Seal Rum. But, they leave it resting in oak barrels even longer, aging it until it has acquired an extra luscious, nuanced complexity much like a rare Scotch or Cognac. Consider it the ultimate sipping rum.A spirit this unusual deserves more than the usual bottle and label. So they lovingly take each bottle, hand label it, dip it in wax, number it, encircle it with a metal band and then place it in a straw-filled wooden box reminiscent of days past. Finally, with not too modern merchandising, they substitute a clear Plexiglass sliding panel for wood, so that all this hard work can be viewed at home.Gosling’s also have their widely sold 80 proof Bermuda Black Rum. This is the rum that is mixed with Bermuda ginger beer to create the signature Dark ‘N’ Stormy drink. The company also bottles 140 proof and 151 proof renditions of this product.And there is the Gold Rum Gosling’s amber rum offering, with lighter colour and flavour profile than Black Seal.Wine Online is Bermuda’s first web store dedicated to wine, spirits and beers. They offer the full range of Burrows Lightbourn’s fine products for you to choose from and with numerous ways to search their catalogue.John F Burrows and JE Lightbourn both started trading in the early 1800s and eventually came under common ownership during the 1960s.
