History
According to Gosling Brothers, it was born in Bermuda shortly after World War I, with the company's own Black Seal rum and Barritt's ginger beer. In the United States, the name has been a registered Gosling trademark since 1991, and the company has sued or threatened to sue competitors that used it with another rum.
