Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum Rye Barrel Finish Rum 750ml

Goslings has been blending rum in Bermuda since 1806, and the Family Reserve Old Rum sits at the top of the house range. This bottling takes that aged blend a step further, resting it for around three additional years in once-used rye whiskey barrels.

The nose is layered and savoury, mixing brown sugar and vanilla extract with black pepper, leather and a floral citrus lift. The palate is full-bodied, showing spiced molasses, dark plum and cocoa, with the rye influence adding a dry, peppery edge and a hint of apple skin.

The finish is long and notably dry, closer in character to a well-aged whiskey than a sweet sipping rum. Best served neat or over a single large cube of ice.
