Each bottle is hand-labelled and numbered. Best Price. Signup to rate this rum! Posted over 8 years ago by DonRon from Germany with 14 ratings. Gosling's Family Reserve is a blend from Bermuda. It comes from the same barrels as the Black Seal but is aged up to 16 years. It has a very complex spicy nose which is really intense. It can literally fill the whole room. Gosling's Family Reserve comes in a nice wax sealed and hand numbered bottle.
It is very complex and combines a little sweetness with nuances of wood. It has spices, dried fruit, chocolate and tobacco and is very well balanced; soft all the way. You won't regret it.

The rum comes in a nice wooden box. High class in the presentation picture. This rum have to rest in the glass for a bit.
The taste is spice and a bit sweet. I expected it to be sweeter. The finish is long and mild. This rum really have to rest in the glass before you drink it. Posted almost 6 years ago by Beukeboom from United States with ratings. The only Gosling's rum available locally is Gosling's Black Seal and frankly I was not all that impressed with it.
I've read the hype and felt it didn't come close to living up to it. I can across the Gosling's Family Reserve rum at Dorignac's grocery store in New Orleans and decided to get a bottle to try.
I am finally getting around to sampling it. First a word on the presentation The deep green glass champagne bottle is sealed with a thick black wax which includes a wide pull band to help unseal the wax.
Homage to the old school. Pouring the rum into a snifter revealed just how dark this rum is. Almost like new motor oil and I do NOT mean that in any negative way -- just that the hue is a rich, dark brown of a type reminding me of how certain motor oils look.
The aroma is sharp and crisp revealing a pepperiness that becomes apparent on the initial flavor. Some sweetness along with the peppery sting and a buttery texture. There clearly are other flavors but the pepperiness obscures them too much for me to detect what they are others with more refined palates than mine will have to chime in.
Some oak tones as well but mild. The finish is a bit dry and the oak stays with you. Very smooth with not a burn but a nice warmth that is far from overbearing. Personally I would not choose this as a sipping rum but it definitely qualifies as one. It's not for everyone but it is a pretty good rum.
I know I may ruffle some feathers but even though this is a premium rum I like it quite well in Coke Zero. The pepperiness complements the Coke Zero flavor making for a unique combination. Add a little lime and you've got an awfully good Cuba Libre.
Posted 6 years ago by martin jeppesen from Denmark with ratings. A cool bottle, that contains something that, to me, feels a little bit like a spiced rum. The nose is a little oaky and bittersweet, with dominant notes of cloves. The taste is kinda special. It contains a healty dose of slightly bitter barrel notes and hints of dates and allspice. Unfortunately not really to my liking.
