It’s a 10 year ageing process which ensures Gran Centenario Plata is a silver tequila with depth and standout characteristics which make it memorable. It’s the ageing which gives this tequila a stand out oakiness to its character, enjoyable and different. It’s slightly viscous on the palate but enjoyable so and has just a small hint of welcome peppery spice. Perfectly paired with herbal liqueurs and delicate cocktails. Smoother than your average silver tequila.
Gran Centenario Anejo spends 18 months maturing in American oak barrels and despite a light flavour you’ll definitely be able to pick out those toasty wood notes. Wonderfully enjoyed over ice or as a shooter, Gran Centenario Anejo allows the taste of cooked agave to take centre stage. An earthy depth and cinnamon spice add to the character of this tequila and the flavour builds to a hot, spicy end which is intensely satisfying.
Spirited Seas is a blend of premium dark rums finished at sea (eighty Atlantic crossings)! Out of the turbulent Atlantic Ocean comes Goslings Spirited Seas Rum. Hand selected ex bourbon barrels are filled with their superior rum from Bermuda and then loaded onto the M.V. Oleander, for a special year at sea to age. Travelling back and forth from Bermuda to the mid Atlantic, where the wild storms of the Gull Stream can magically appear. The result of its time at sea in these charred American white oak casks is an exquisitely elegant and complex rum with a lively, oaky nose. Hints of salted caramel and luscious spice wash over the palate to a clean and lingering finish.
The granddaddy of the Gosling’s pack, Family Reserve is an exceptional quality rum which has been treated with the utmost care in every stage of the process. Hand labelled, hand dipped in wax and packed into boxes, each bottle is treated with the respect it deserves and is an award winning, oaky rum which has an intense, deep flavour. Its complexity resembles that exclusive Scotch or Cognac and deserves a spot on your premium spirits shelf.
The happy black seal performing on the front of each bottle is not where this rum got its name, but it’s a fun addition. Gosling’s Black Seal is named for the wax used to seal the stopper in place in fact and this is a deep, dark rum which stewed fruit aromas emanating from first opening. Spicy and herbal notes blend together to lead into a thickly sweet and fruity flavour which tingles on the tongue and is supported by creamier vanilla notes with caramel hints.
Gosling Black Seal 151 is a full-flavoured dark rum that has the additional benefit of oak barrels which have been used to age bourbon. It stands out against other rums of the region because of its caramelised flavour and the bourbon notes that the oak casks offer. The taste of treacle melds with spicy cinnamon and orange zest to create a depth of flavour which is both inviting and demands another taste. The strength of flavour is perfect for combining with ginger to create the perfect Dark & Stormy.
