One of Bermuda's oldest businesses, the famed Gosling's Black Seal Rum is an essential ingredient for the island's best-known drinks like the dark 'n stormy and the rum swizzle (the island's national drink). Host Lorraine speaks with the managing director of Gosling's Limited, Charles Gosling, whose family first arrived, quite unintentionally, in Bermuda's St. George in 1806 while on a voyage to the Americas. After three treacherous months at sea, the Gosling family anchored in Bermuda and rather than facing the open ocean again, decided to stay and peddle their wares, opening a store on Front Street that eventually developed into their own distinctive rum business. Originally just on draft, customers would bring their own bottles to fill with the special blend of "old rum." Gosling explains how the moniker Black Seal came to be (customers would ask for the old blend based on the distinctive black sealing wax on the bottle). Now a family business for over two centuries, Gosling's is the only company that produces and bottles its product on the island. Step down into the blending facility where brand director Andrew Holmes explains how a newly finished batch of Black Seal will be half bottled for selling and half barreled to age for the Gosling's Family Reserve Rum, a premium sipping rum which is aged 16 to 20 years and is only bottled once every twelve months. And no trip to Bermuda would be complete without a taste of the island's Dark 'n Stormy, a mixture of Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer.
