First introduced to the US in 2005, Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum is the oldest release in the Goslings range. It begins with the same rum blend as the flagship Black Seal but this bottling gets further aged in oak barrels. Old Rum is intended to be a “sipping rum” served as you would a cognac or single malt scotch. Bottle presentation includes a handmade label, wax seal and a straw-filled wooden box.
