ospitality is the watchword of this Atlantic Ocean island and there

isn’t a hotel, club, restaurant or bar that hasn’t dusted down its

strainers, jiggers, muddlers, shakers and Old Fashioned glasses in

gleeful anticipation of having the yachting world descend.

No matter where you dock your superyacht and head to – Swizzle Inn

on Bailey’s Bay, Breezes beach bar at Cambridge Beaches, Hamilton

Princess & Beach Club, or the brand new Loren at Pink Beach on the south

shore – you will be drinking rum.

Not only that – you will be drinking Goslings Rum. The brand is all but

synonymous with Bermuda and it’s the official rum of the America’s Cup.

The Gosling family has been blending and distributing the stuff here ever

since James Gosling landed from England in 1806. Today, the seventh

generation of Goslings run the show.

There is no question that the rums are first rate. There are three main

rums in the range, starting with the Goslings Gold Seal. This is delectably

light, mellow and smooth gold rum. Try it is a Bright ’n’ Sunny by pouring

50ml of Gold Seal into a tall ice-filled glass, adding 120ml of ginger ale and

topping with a splash of orange juice.

The Goslings Black Seal is the flagship rum and the essential ingredient

of the famous (and trademarked) Dark ’n’ Stormy. Pour 140ml of Goslings

Stormy Ginger Beer into a tall, ice-filled glass and top up with 50ml of

Black Seal. As the Goslings say, “lime optional; enjoyment mandatory”.

If sipping rum is your thing, you’ll love Goslings Family Reserve Rum.

It’s the same fine blend as the Black Seal but aged for 16 to 20 years in oak

barrels and presented in a

wax-covered champagne

bottle. It’s complex, rich and

luscious. If you know of a

better way of seeing your boat

come in, pray let me know. B

When in Bermuda,

says Jonathan Ray,

rum is the drink of

choice, whether it’s

bright ’n’ sunny

or dark ’n’ stormy
