The history of Black Seal Rum® and the Gosling family began long ago. In the spring of 1806 James Gosling, the oldest son of William Gosling, a wine and spirits merchant, set out from England on the ship, Mercury, with £10,000 of merchandise, bound for America. After ninety-one desperate days on a becalmed sea their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. Georges's, Bermuda. Rather than pressing for America, James opened a shop on the King's Parade, St. George's in December 1806. In 1824 James returned to England and his brother Ambrose rented a shop on Front Street in the new Capitol of Hamilton for £25 a year. The Goslings have maintained a store at this location for 127 years recently adding gourmet rum desserts to its offerings.
Gosling's Island Indulgence Rum Cakes draw their inspiration from some of Bermuda's favorite cocktails using only the freshest ingredients and barrel-aged Black Seal Rum® to create these delicious, premium cakes that are as exceptional as they are indulgent.
igourmet is happy to offer two varieties of the Gosling's tempting rum cakes:
Bermuda Rum Swizzle Cake is the country's favorite Black Seal cocktail transformed into a scrumptious cake and Dark ‘N Stormy Island Spice Cake is like a Dark ‘N Stormy cocktail --- bursting with ginger, island spices and Black Seal Rum®.
You now can have your cake…and your rum, too!
