RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

Bold smooth Rum with a nice finish.
Great value for the $25 price tag.

Balanced with a strong taste. Loved drinking this rum.

Very dry with awesome burn. Oakish aftertaste which could be a bit longer.

It has a slightly smoky nose with some vanilla hints. The taste is vanilla and toffee forward with a brief middle and a long alcohol burn.

Rhum sans sucre ajouté trouvable à un prix raisonnable (30-50€).
Puissant en bouche, très loin de la rondeur commune des rhums, il retient en bouche des notes boisés et de fruit sec, un second temps avec une remontée de l'alcool en force qui transitionne vers une fin plus douce.
Malgré mon attrait pour les rhums plus doux, je dois bien avouer qu'il est bon, mais il n'est clairement pas fait pour tout le monde. Il saura ravir les personnes qui souhaitent s'éloigner des plus doux vers avoir un goût plus fort et sec.

Pokud hledáte poměr cena x výkon, rozhodně doporučuji vyzkoušet. Ideální na večerní popíjení s přáteli, navíc bez přidaných aditiv. Tenhle rum bude mít místo v mém baru jisté a je navíc snadno dostupný.

This rum is somewhere between WIRD and Foursquare. My version has 46%.
I can say from the nose that it's a Foursquare rum, but it's not that dark or deep.
It's somewhere between Doorly's 8 and 10y.

Smell: The smell is not very intensive, there is vanilla, bourbon wood, some Foursquare notes like hazelnut in the background. Also some WIRD notes like citrus, orange zests, but not that intensive.
It's on the bright side and is not dark like other great Foursquare bottlings.

Taste: It's still thin at 46% for me. There is vanilla and bourbon wood first, some Foursquare notes like hazelnut in the background. Some citrusy WIRD notes with orange zests are here again, but not that intensive. It's also not very fruity.

This is a quite smooth rum for 46% but too bright for me. I enjoy the more aged Foursquares with dark aromas more. I would prefer Doorlys XO or the much better Doorlys 14.
Would rate it with 77 points.

Sweetness: 1/5
Fruits: 2.5/5
Spice: 3/5
Value 40€: 2.5/5

Different days I get a different impression from this.

Today, I'm getting sugar, spice, a bit of varnish and lots of heat, and bone dryness, with a long dry finish. I got a bit more depth the other day.
Easy drinking, it offers something of the ECS while being affordable and accessible.

I was paging through rums. And this bottle stood out. Bought it. Loved it. And now the bottle sits in a recess above the fire.
