RL Seale 12-Year

Nice oaky flavor, but a strong afterburn. When mixed with coke, a nice cutting measure. Plus, a cool bottle. 

Comparing this rum to 10 year, I found latter to be smoother and easier to drink. 12 year was on dry side, and burning my throat. Tried it in Foursquare distillery.

Going to Barbados in February so thought I would dive into the various offerings that I own. The nose had slight ripe fruitiness, smooth and sweet on the tongue with a pleasant and lingering even finish. The heat didn’t overwhelm the molasses flavor. Enjoyed in our home bar - King Kahuna Lounge.

This rum will do just fine on a really cold night by a fireplace with some nice ambient music in the background. At 46% ABV it surprised with the smoothness. This rum warms it does not burn. There is definately a whiskey presence and dark chocolate on initial taste but that melts into a nice warm burnt molasses and spice that just lingers. This is actually a fairly sweet rum but certainly not offensive and less dry than I expected. Overall 8.5 score.

I expected more out a 12 year from Foursquare. It has a very nice nose that doesn't translate to the palate for me. It's hotter than I'd like for a 92 proof. Vanilla with some spice flavor.

Foursquare rum tasting at Mitch e Amaro on 9-2-23. Rich dark gold. So very mild that it’s fantastic. Perfect palate. Easy sipper. As though there is no burn at all. Great rum.

Tasted at Mitch e Amaro in NKC during Lei Away september 2 2023
Appearance: amber
Nose: caramel
Flavor: this is a solid basic rum with flavorful caramel notes backed by vanilla

Nice color. More whisky smell and taste than I prefer. I put a very small ice cube in glass and it seemed to pull out a more caramel smell and mellowed the flavors. Very nice.

Bon, rhum un peu poivré. Couleur foncé. Boisé et épicé. Un peu fort en alcool 46% Beau cadeau de ma counjointe.

Recommended at a liquor shop ... Fantastic! Thanks
