An essential ingredient in Bermuda fish chowder, the island flavor of the Bermuda Rum 
Swizzle, and key to Bermuda’s Dark ‘n Stormy, Gosling’s Rum is Bermuda’s largest export. Known around the world, especially to this Cape Bretoner, is Gosling’s Bermuda Rum so when I heard that we were going on a tour of Gosling’s distillery, my first questions was, “is it a tasting tour?” Thankfully, it was!
Rather then telling you about the tour, I thought I’d share a few recipes with you so you could tour Gosling’s yourself.
Bermuda Rum SwIzzle Recipe
8 oz Gosling’s® Black Seal rum
6 dashes Angostura® bitters
Juice of 2 lemons
Crushed ice
5 oz pineapple juice
5 oz orange juice
2 oz grenadine syrup
Stir or shake vigorously until
a frothing head appears. Strain into
sour glasses. Garnish with a slice of
orange or a Maraschino Cherry
Dark ‘n Stormy
1. Fill a tall glass three quarters of the way with ice.
2. Add two ounces of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum & eight ounces
of ginger beer (which is not the same as ginger ale).
3. Squeeze in the juice of one lime wedge, drop in the lime & stir.
Don’t want to mix…
Gosling’s Family Reserve Old Rum is crafted from the same Bermuda blend as their 
renowned Black Seal Rum, but they age it in dark barrels even longer, until it acquires an extra luscious, nuanced complexity much like a rare Scotch or Cognac.
Consider it the ultimate sipping rum.
The perfect Old Rum recipe:
- 1 oz. – blah, blah, blah
- ½ tsp. – blah, blah
- 2 oz. – blah, blah, blah
Don’t add anything. Just pour it in a glass and savor.
Over the years Black Seal® Rum has become synonymous with Bermuda. You can’t go to Bermuda without at least tasting the rum.
Have you already tried Gosling’s? What’s your favorite drink?

I’ve had the Dark & Stormy a number of times. I can testify that Darks & Stormies are best enjoyed on radiant and cloudless afternoons. With friends. Gosling’s is fine rum. Thanks for the summertime “refreshing bev” inspiration, Lesley.

Pina Colada I do rum in. The first recipe blended sounded good. I do blended being a lightweight.

I fell in love with the Dark ‘n Stormy wile on a cruise to Bermuda years ago and it is hands down my favorite drink. If I ever see it on a drink menu (and they make it right), the bar/restaurant instantly becomes one of my favs!!! Now I must have one. *Puts on shoes and grabs wallet* Off to the store.

I’m not much on rum; a brandy is nice in my coffee in the evening, and a red wine every now and again. I sent the rum recipes to a friend of mine and to Fb
