Goslings Black Seal Rum is an iconic dark rum that serves as the national drink of Bermuda. The brand traces its history back to 1806 when James Gosling set sail from England and eventually established a spirits business in Bermuda. The flagship 'Black Seal' name was adopted after World War I; originally sold only from the barrel, the rum was later bottled in reclaimed champagne bottles and sealed with black sealing wax, giving rise to its famous name.

Today, Goslings Brothers Ltd. remains a family-owned enterprise, representing one of the oldest businesses in Bermuda. While the blending and aging processes are deeply rooted in Bermudian tradition to achieve its signature rich, smooth, and spicy profile, the brand maintains global distribution. It is most famously known as an essential ingredient in the Dark 'n Stormy cocktail, a trademarked drink owned by the company.
