RL Seale 12-Year

Tropical fruit & vanilla notes. It is smooth and has no lasting taste of high proof rum. For the price, I think it’s great.

I like it better than some of the ECM’s over the years (looking at you, 2004) and it’s half the price.

Noticeable upgrade on the ten year. Love this.

Light on the nose, smooth and sweet on the tongue. Sweet molasses that has a little heat left, great sipper on the rocks. Very enjoyable.

Purchased at Pike's Liquor on LI. Deep amber color. Overall a very nice, well rounded juice.

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.

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.

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.
