In the spring of 1806, James Gosling, the oldest son of William Gosling, wine and spirits merchant, set out from Gravesend, Kent, England on the ship Mercury with £10,000 sterling worth of merchandise, bound for America.

After ninety-one desperate days on becalmed seas their charter ran out, and they put in at the nearest port, St. George’s, Bermuda. 215 years, an award-winning line up of rums, and an international Dark ‘n Stormy® trademark later, Goslings continues to share the history, the product, and the happiness that has made our family business successful for eight generations.
