Goslings Spirited Seas Volume I
Dark Rum
Goslings // Bermuda
Spirited Seas is the brand's first ocean aged rum. In 2020, Goslings took a blend of aged dark Bermudan rum and placed it into 60 used bourbon barrels. They then placed the barrels onto the Oleander, a container ship which travels weekly across the Atlantic Ocean from Bermuda to New Jersey. After 40 weeks and almost 60,000 miles it was bottled at 44% ABV.
This is intended to be a permanent addition to the portfolio. Available beginning November 2022. (SRP $59.99).

Dark RumAKA Black Rum. Usually aged (but not always) and has additional caramel-coloring added to provide the dark/black color. Some are distilled from blackstrap molasses. No specific type or size barrel required for aging nor is there a set time required for aging in most countries with a few exceptions.

Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the rum falls into the sweeter category with molasses and vanilla notes along with some oak. And while it isn't super dynamic, the aroma is pleasant enough. Moving on to the taste, initially it's mostly sweet, but then the tangy and spicy (not spiced rum, but barrel spices) notes help to tone the sweet levels out. Feels hotter than 88 proof. Would serve on the rocks or in a Dark 'n Stormy."
