Goslings Papa Seal is a very limited release rum. It is limited to a production of just 12 barrels a year. Each bottle is hand labelled, and then sent to selected locations around the world. Goslings Papa Seal Rum is an ultra-premium, single-cask version of Goslings classic Bermudan rum, bringing together pot-distilled and column-distilled molasses. It's then blended and aged for over 15 years in Bermuda in once-used bourbon barrels with a medium char.
First produced in 2018 in Bermuda, Goslings Papa Seal finally landed in the UK in 2021. Each bottle features the bottle number, barrel number and bottling date. It comes presented in solid brown and metalic bronze gift box with a open-view window, to see the bottle in all its glory.
Dark copper in colour, Goslings Papa Seal has prominent aromas of oak vanilla, tobacco, leather and molasses. This is followed by notes of banana, nutmeg and walnut. The oak and vanilla notes continue on the palate, together with lots of rich molasses, toffee and dark treacle flavours. This is balanced by notes of banana bread and touches of walnut, pecan, nutmeg and cloves. These all linger on the palate with a sweet, silky finish. This exceptional sipping rum, is smooth and complex. It is best enjoyed neat.
