RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

I ended up buying this because of the distillery behind it. And it did not dissapoint! It is somewhat thicker than most dry rums, full of taste and has an aftertaste that lingers in your mouth to enjoy untill you take that next great sip. Bottle will be empty before you know it. And then its back to the store buying another one of those great looking badass bottles.

This is RL Seale’s entry level rum. Not bad. Nice little burn on the throat. Not overly sweet. I added some ice and that helped a bit. Not a mixer for sure, but not one of my go to sippers.

was expecting much more from this one, after reading so many good ratings here...
the package is nice and interesting, but here we rate the liquid, not the bottle design, abv 46% is also excellent (i read ABV 46% export strength on the label),
dry rum, nose: nothing but alcohol, mouth: this rum is mute, don t speak to me,
at this ABV i was expecting a flavor explosion, nothing, finish also is nothing !
i was expecting it will be good as the (excellent) mount gay xo (same island,
rl seales costs 6 euro more so it s same price range), doorly s are also very good rum from same distillery,
it reminds me of the clement VSOP (also very dry and some more flavors) but it s worse ... really a big delusion ! where is the Bajan fruitiness ? totally absent in this rum ...
people say it s a whisky drinker rum, no way, it s hard to find a bourbon or a single malt with
lack of character like this one ...

Jó választás, finom ìzvilág és lecsengés, ajánlom.

So my nose palate isn’t very sophisticated. I definitely smell the molasses and either floral or maybe a fruit tree. I only get an alcohol smell at the end of an inhale.

Definitely love the bourbon casking and taste that immediately. Once in a blue moon I think I’ll make an Old Fashioned out of it (hell … only $25US/bottle).

I guess the brandy casking gives it a less harsh taste. Nice when it hits your lips. A little bit of afterburn in my throat, and it warms my chest up.

it’s just a good solid rum. I bought TWN out of their 5 bottles a few months back - lol.

If you drink a lot (which happens from time to time) your tongue gets the feel of the burning you get with a strong peppermint flavor (minus the mint).

I just like having it around.

For its shape and its magical contents. If the Caribbean is rum heaven then Barbados is where the rum gods live...Foursquare and this iteration in RL Seale truly defines what great rum is and should always be. The flavours are well described and quality is truly showcasing a producer at the top of their game. I have spent a lot of time getting to know and appreciate the nuances of Barbados rum over the "rest" and have to conclude that Foursquare is simply the best. I prefer this over Doorly's XO for the extra smoothness and cleaner taste. Take the time to get to know this rum and all his cousins from the magical island. Is a must on everyone's rum journey.

Nice but not the flavour profile I was hoping for.
6.5 really for me. Unlikely to buy again as expensive down under.
Round two a 7

Skvělá vůně. Cítím vanilku a jablka.
Pronikavá a hřejivá chuť.
Na začátku sladká. Na konci příjemně štiplavá s chutí čokolády.

I bought this rum with zero to none expectations giving the price i paid for. To my surprise this mysterious bottle is one of the finest rums I have had within its range. Its single rum taste defines the quality of this product making it a very enjoyable pleasant experience. No burning nor aftertaste sensation while indulging in it.
