Gosling's Black Seal Gosling Brothers |
Historie
Na jaře roku 1806 londýnský obchodník s vínem a lihovinami James Gosling opustil Anglii na palubě pronajatého clipperu Mercury s L10,000. Cesta byla obtížná. Zažili jedenadevadesát dní bezvětří.
Loď nakonec zakotvila v přístavu St. Georges na Bermudách, kde se Gosling a jeho rodina usadili. V prosinci 1806 otevřel James Gosling King's Parade obchod.
V roce 1824 se podnik přestěhoval na Front Street v novém hlavním městě Hamiltonu. V té době do firmy vstoupil Ambrose Gosling, Jamesův bratr a firma se v roce 1857 přejmenovala na Gosling Brothers. Dnes je firma nejstarším podnikem na Bermudách a zůstává rodinnou firmou.
V roce 1860 dovezla společnost Gosling Brothers Ltd. na Bermudy první barely rumu. Zkoušeli různé směsi rumů, až nalezli ideální kombinaci.
Výsledkem byl velmi tmavý rum pojmenovaný "Old-Rum". 50 let byl rum prodáván točený do přinesených lahví. Převážně takto byl prodáván až do první světové války, kdy společnost začala plnit lahve od šampaňského z důstojnického klubu. Zátky byly utěsněny černým pečetním voskem a proto jej zákazníci pojmenovali "Black Seal".
Až mnohem později Gosling Brothers umístili na etiketu sud s žonglujícím lachtanem (anglicky seal). Dodnes je rum mísen podle původního receptu z tříletých rumů.
Bermudy nemají vlastní cukrovou třtinu ani lihovar, ale mají svůj rum: Goslings Black Seal.
