After ninety-one desperate days on a becalmed sea their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. Georges, Bermuda. Rather than pressing on for America, James opened a shop on the Kings Parade, St. Georges in December 1806. In 1824 James returned to England and his brother Ambrose rented a shop on Front Street in the new Capitol of Hamilton for 25 a year. The Goslings have maintained a store at this location for 127 years. In 1857 the firm was renamed Gosling Brothers by Ambroses sons. Three years later the first oak barrels of rum distillate arrived in Bermuda. Three years later, after much trial and error, the distinctive Bermuda black rum destined to be Black Seal was formulated and offered for sale. They didnt call it Black Seal at first. In fact, up until the First World War it was only sold from the barrel, and most folks brought in their own bottles for a fill up. Eventually the black rum was sold in champagne bottles, reclaimed from the British Officers Mess, and the corks sealed with black sealing wax. Pretty soon people began to ask for the Black Seal. Many years later the idea of the little, barrel juggling Black Seal was born. Over the years Black Seal has become synonymous with Bermuda. It is the essential additive to Bermuda fish chowder, adds the island touch to Bermuda Rum Swizzle, and is the tempest in Bermudas favorite cocktail the Dark n Stormy. A family business for over two centuries Goslings is today the only company that blends and bottles in Bermuda, and is the largest exporter of a Bermuda made product.
