They began blending rum around 1860, and what was initially sold from the barrel and later in reclaimed champagne bottles sealed with black wax, soon became known as "Black Seal" rum by popular demand. This distinctive, rich rum is blended and bottled in Bermuda by Gosling Brothers Limited, a company that has remained family-owned for over eight generations and holds the trademark for the Dark 'n Stormy cocktail.
