Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum is crafted in Bermuda from the same rum blend used for Gosling's Black Seal, then rested in once-used charred oak barrels for 16 to 19 years to develop a rich, well-balanced complexity reminiscent of a rare scotch or cognac. Each bottle is hand-numbered and hand-labelled, bottled at 40% ABV, making it the brand's ultimate sipping rum.
