NEW YORK, N.Y.— Rough seas make smooth rum. Goslings Rum, known for aging and blending rum since 1806, introduces their first ocean-aged rum – Spirited Seas. The experimental rum was aged across the Atlantic and celebrates ocean adventures and Goslings’ origins on the island of Bermuda. This November, Spirited Seas will be available for purchase at select U.S. retailers and online at ReserveBar.com, Spirits Network.com, and Drizly.com (SRP: $59.99, 750ml, 44% ABV).
In 2020, Goslings sent 60 once-used bourbon barrels filled with a proprietary blend of aged dark Bermuda rum on board the Oleander. The container ship, known as the lifeline of Bermuda, travels from New Jersey to Bermuda weekly with imports and exports. For over 40 weeks, nearly 60,000 miles, the rum interacted with the charred American white oak over every wave aboard the vessel extracting all the barrel’s flavor.
“For the first time, we let go of the aging process and let mother nature take the reins on the open ocean,” says Malcolm Gosling Jr., eighth generation rum maker. “The stormy seas and air had an extraordinary effect on the aging rum blend. Extreme changes in weather forced the rum to expand in warmer climates and contract in colder temperatures. The result is an elegant and complex rum that will be a prized addition to any premium aged spirit collector’s shelf.”
Spirited Seas offers subtle oak and allspice aromas and a palate with hints of stone fruit, caramel apple, and salted dark chocolate. The finish is smooth, clean, and lingering with spiced dark oak. Goslings recommends enjoying the rum neat or mixed in a variety of classic cocktails – a twist on the Old Fashioned, an upgraded Rum Punch, a winter warmer like Hot Buttered Rum.
