Black Seal Rum

Gosling Black Seal Rum has a rich, intricate flavour, well balanced and nuanced with butterscotch, vanilla and caramel.
Today, unlike most spirits, Black Seal includes products of both pot stills, as used in fine Cognacs.
Bermuda’s largest export – and the one known around the world – is Gosling’s Bermuda Rum, produced here since 1850, and still going strong. Over the years Goslings Black Seal Rum has become synonymous with Bermuda. It is an essential ingredient in Bermuda’s fish chowder, adds the island flavor to the Bermuda Rum Swizzle, and is the tempest in Bermuda’s national cocktail: the Dark ‘n Stormy®. In the spring of 1806 James Gosling, the oldest son of William Gosling, wine and spirits merchant, set out from Gravesend, England on the ship Mercury, with 10 000 sterling worth of merchandise, bound for America. After ninety-one desperate days on becalmed seas, their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. George’s, Bermuda. And the rest, as they say, is history. Delicious, deep, dark history.

Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum
The Appleton Estate, a glorious and fertile land located in the heart of Jamaica, is the birthplace of all Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum, and the employees at Appleton Estate have been crafting this rum with the warmth, passion, and unique spirit of Jamaica for over 265 years.

At the Appleton Estate the production of rum is a craft. Every step in the process is carefully controlled, from the selection of the varieties of sugar cane that are grown on the Estate, to the natural culture of yeast and the crystal clear water from the Estate’s spring that is used in fermentation, to our unique distillation and blending methods.


Join us on Tuesday April 24 : 6:30-8:30 pm, and enjoy the spirit of Rum

We love Rum - Enjoy a Taste of the Caribbean

Havana Rum
Born from centuries of Cuban tradition, the art of ageing is at the heart of all Havana Club rum and is responsible for the unrivaled appearance, aroma and taste found in every bottle – whether it’s our youngest Havana Club 3 Year Old, Reserva, or 7 Year Old.

The “Isle of Rum”
Cuba has become known as the "Isle of Rum", due to a combination of world-famous sugar cane, a favourable Caribbean climate, fertile soil, and the know-how of our Master Rum-Makers.
The outstanding tropical temperatures actually speeds the ageing process, resulting in rich and bold flavours in a shorter period of time than in colder climates.

Join us on Tuesday January 31 at 6:30 pm for Havana Club Rum Tasting, and enjoy the Caribbean spirit of Rum

Plantation Rum Tasting @ The Real Jerk Restaurant, Toronto, ON - Tues Jun 28th!

Are you a Real Jerk Rum Connoisseur?
, Join us on Tuesday June 28 at 6:30 pm for Plantation Rum Tasting and Enjoy the Caribbean spirit of Rum

Plantation 20th anniversary
A blend of the company's oldest reserves, this rum is something else. Selected rums aged for long years in the Caribbean are painstakingly blended by our cellar master at Château de Bonbonnet then matured in small French oak casks for a further 12 to 18 months. Double aging gives the rum an incomparably round and creamy palate. The colour of old mahogany, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary reveals a nose with exotic notes of sugarcane, oaky vanilla and toasted coconut, enhanced by more complex aromas of cocoa, candied orange and cigar box.

Plantation Jamaica
Distilled in alambic copper pot stills after a long fermentation, Plantation Jamaica represents vigor and intensity. In the cellars of Maison Ferrand in Charente, it is further eased, tamed and enriched.

Plantation Guatemala Gran Anejo
Color: A golden yellow with glints of amber
Nose: Starts with vanilla aromas that turn woody with some coconut, and finishes with a hint of licorice
Mouth: Smooth, round, woody vanilla notes, blossoming into a light and elegant finish.

Join us on Tuesday June 28 : 6:30-8:30 pm, and enjoy the spirit of Rum
