Goslings Papa Seal Single Barrel Bermuda Rum is a unique and special version of the classic Bermudan rum. This exceptional spirit is a blend of pot- and column-distilled molasses rum, aged in ex-bourbon casks to create a rich and spicy flavor profile with intricate notes of nuts, leather, and dark treacle. The term "Father of all Rums" aptly describes Papa Seal, which comprises rums aged between 10 and 21 years in hand-selected, once-used bourbon barrels with medium char. Following this aging process, the rums are married in American White Oak and aged an additional two years in Bermuda's humid and salty air, resulting in an incredibly balanced and complex flavor experience.
Goslings, a family-owned company founded by James Gosling, has deep roots on the small island of Bermuda, where the sugarcane essential to this rum thrives. James Gosling arrived in Bermuda in 1806 after his trading license for the USA expired prematurely. By 1927, he had established his small shop on Front Street in St. George's Town, which remains operational to this day. The Gosling family began experimenting with rum blending in 1860, and three years later, they introduced Old Rum, initially filled directly from casks into brought-along bottles and sealed with black sealing wax. This innovation led to the creation of Black Seal, the distillery's flagship rum. Papa Seal ages for around 15 years in carefully selected bourbon barrels that have only been used once, ensuring a premium quality spirit.
