Goslings 151 Proof Black Rum

 Un très bon overproof ! L'alcool est étonnamment bien intégré ! Peut effectivement être bu pur, mieux que prévu 🤣 m'a sauvé la soirée à Vienne après un vol manqué. Idéal pour allumer des cocktails de zombies et plus encore.

 Quite a sharp nose, as you'd expect. Very molasses forward, with oak, cinnamon and raisin following. With this high ABV it can almost feel as if it is evaporating on the tounge before any liquid enters the throat. Its sweet. Raisin, licorice the molasses from the nose are all present and a lot easier to detect with water. Finish is short with lots of brown sugar and oak. For me, there are better overproofs on the market. Though, this is one of the strongest out there if that's your thing. Would work well in a Zombie with its dark, licorice notes.

 This rum is amazing and at the same time my first overproof. Immediately warming on the tongue, it has a pronounced mildness for this alcohol content, which I did not expect. Notes of coffee, caramel and dark chocolate paired with a long finish. When tasting, be sure to try it at the end.

 I would guess definitely lower voltaz, at 75% it is a fairly smooth rum, but not distinctive aromas and flavors

 Très intéressant à déguster pur, malgré un pourcentage d'alcool élevé. Une aération du rhum serait recommandée, et il est excellent dans les cocktails. Nez de mélasse et notes de vanille, de réglisse et de caramel (après une aération d'environ 20 minutes).

 Very strong rum, not my cup of tea. It is noticeable in the throat if you try this rum straight. However, it is ideally suited as an alcoholic base for a Cuba Llbre. The high woody alcohol content is noticeable on the nose.

 Quite enjoyable on its own! The alcohol is well integrated.

 Les 151 sont toujours accompagnés de mises en garde. Ils sont destinés à être des pincées, généralement dans les cocktails. Celui-ci n'est vraiment pas mauvais, dans la mesure où ces choses vont. Le roi incontesté est le Lemon Hart 151, aucun autre rhum ne s'en approche à cette force. Personnellement, j'ai également apprécié le 151 Pusser's expression, c'est mon deuxième préféré. Ce Gosling's 151 arrive en troisième position. C'est une bonne expression mais il y en a de meilleures. Si vous avez eu une journée particulièrement mauvaise, je vous recommande de le mettre dans votre dark n' stormy, mais si vous avez accès au Lemon Hart 151, utilisez-le à la place.

 Really good and interesting. The alcohol very well integrated and fabulous examples of a very high proof rum that can be sipped neat. Sweet contrasted with nice bitter and woody flavour makes for a balanced rum. I am curious how it would work in a cocktail now!

 Surprisingly sweet and smooth for a 151 and molasses flavor is dominant. Dried fruit, alcohol, and molasses aromas enchant the nose as if to distract from the high proof disclaimed on the label like a siren’s song. The color is treacle like a watery abyss trapped in a bottle wherein the most terrible sea monsters lie undisturbed. Molasses, dried fruit, and brown sugar notes coat the tongue and brace it for a comparatively mild impact of alcohol that evaporates into a medium finish of spices, something fire-roasted, and finally molasses.

 Tasted 03-07-2016 I have had to update he tasting notes on this as stupidly tried neat and expected depth of rum. As of 2021 this is a fantastic zombie rum that's deep in chocolate and delicious
