Ninety-one consecutive days of calm left the crew & passengers in dire straits & the charter of Mercury was fast running out. The ship eventually made port in St. Georges, Bermuda, where Gosling & his family decided to set up shop rather than press on to America.

The famous Gosling's Dark 'n Stormy cocktail is now available in a convenient 250ml can, ready to drink. Gosling's Black Seal Rum & Gosling's Stormy Ginger Beer in a perfectly carbonated, 9% alcohol drink that's 100% authentic so there's zero compromise in taste. It's the genuine article with no mixing, no ice required. The Dark 'n Stormy had its start in the highly successful ginger beer factory run as a subsidiary to the Royal Naval Officer's Club. It wasn't long before it was discovered that a splash of the local Black Seal Rum was just what the piquant ginger beer was missing. The name is said to have originated when an old sailor, holding aloft the thunderhead in a glass, observed that the drink was the colour of a cloud only a fool or a dead man would sail under. This was probably followed by, ' Barman, I'll have another
- Dark 'n Stormy'.

155 years seems long enough. So the deep, dark secret rum that we Goslings have enjoyed for generations is now going public. Appropriately called Gosling's Family Reserve Old Rum, it is crafted from the same incomparable Bermuda blend that they use for their renowned Black Seal Rum. But, they leave it resting in oak barrels even longer, aging it until it has acquired an extra luscious, nuanced complexity much like a rare Scotch or Cognac. Consider it the ultimate sipping rum. A spirit this unusual deserves more than the usual bottle & label. So they lovingly take each bottle, hand label it, dip it in wax, number it, encircle it with a metal band & then place it in a straw-filled wooden box reminiscent of days past.
