RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

The smell of this rum gives you the impression that it will taste like honey but i do not get this in the taste. It is a very smooth rum although i found it lacking lots of flavour. I got no burn at all from this.

I've seen this rum mentioned a lot lately. I decided it was time to give it a try. Outstanding bottle design. Fruity atoms. Tastes like... Well... Rum. But it has a very strong alcohol burn to me.

Dominant Flavors: vanilla bean, salt water, leather, mild oak,

You get an initial oak and bourbon Barrel flavor that is similar to MGXO and just when you'd expect some kind of sweet finish... nope. That's where it's similarity to MGXO ends. What's interesting is that with the lack of sweetness you might expect a bitter or some kind of off-putting finish, but this rum just sorta smooths itself out. No lingering bitterness or anything that might keep one from continuing to drink it. It has all the good of the dry side of MGXO. Definitely SMOOTH stuff. I like it as a complex dry sipper, but I don't prefer it bc I do enjoy some sweetness. Drinking it side by side with Don Q Gran Añejo, the sweetness in the Puerto Rican rum is fantastic and I never appreciated it more. Overall R L Seale's 10 year is solid unadulterated Bajan rum, but I don't like it as much as his Doorly's 12 yr.
Update: its growing on me and I can begin to taste a tiny bit of sweetness when neat. Before I got this I was drinking Ron Zacapa 23 Solera and Doorly's 12 yr hence my initial review saying too "unsweet". I still say if sweet is what you like then this rum isn't for you, however it's very well made and has nothing bad tasting about it. update: got my second bottle and I've been drinking u sugared rums lately, it's a great natural rum with vanilla and oak flavor that isn't that fruity and isn't very sweet, I would prefer it over a bourbon any day tho and it's a lot like Doorly's 8 year with less bite and maybe less fruit.

Un rhum typique bajan. Avec un nez tout en équilibre sur le boisé , la coco et les épices douces. Aucun sucre ajouté et un véritable vieillissement de 10 ans minimum. Excellente entrée dans le monde des rhums de la Barbades.

Purchased in Barbados for under USD 20. Your basic rum, in nose and taste, but good. Smooth, but not overly complex. Not much stands out. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Plantation 20 year.

Po všech stránkách pozoruhodný nápoj v roztomile nesmyslné láhvi a s kuriosní, i když vlastně docela tradiční chutí. To, co je na něm neobvyklé, je klasický charakter skotské single-malt whisky podávané v podobě rumu.
První láhev, kterou jsem si před lety koupil, mě velmi nadchla, Druhá, kterou jsem dopil nedávno, mi přišla už jen jako uspokojivá. Hodnocení je tedy zprůměrované z 9 a 5.

Good Rum on ice, sweet, smooth, vanilla flavor, good entry level sipper!

Nice flavors of caramel and oak. It has a little alcohol burn but not harsh. A good change of pace from the spiced rums that I usually drink.

Had a sample from master of malt for about £6 think it's in the £30+ price range.

Quite sweet on the nose with a definite aroma of banana. Nice and reasonably smooth in the mouth fruity and sweet with a gentle touch of oak.

En nariz plátano, vainilla, almendra y roble. ligeramente seco,picante no es un ron dulce, bien envejecido y mezclado. ni hablar de la botella realmente unica.
