RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

I love the taste and smoothness of this rum... Prefer this to a 12 y/o single malt scotch

Alkohol: 43 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Vůně je suchá, kořenitá až citrusová, s vanilkou (ale bez sladkosti), hřebíček, nové koření, až trochu cítím lák od okurek. Hodně zvláštní vůně, která mi moc nesedla. (81 b)
Chuť: Úplně první chvilkový dojem na jazyku je lehce nasládlý, ale postupně vysychá, až do takové strohé, kořenité suchosti a anýzu, je tam i trocha cedru a nějakého exotického dřeva. (83 b)
Body: 82
Shrnutí: Ochutnáno na vydařené rumové degustaci u josého v Hořicích, což byla neformální akcička domluvená na Whiskyfestivalu. Toto byl druhý panák ochutnávky, a přiznám se, že mi stylově moc nesedl, hlavně vůně mě nezaujala, v chuti už to bylo o něco lepší. Jsem ale rád, že jsem mohl ochutnat, protože případný nákup celé lahve by mě asi mrzel (pokud bych mu nepřišel na chuť časem). Ale pro ty, kdo nemusí sladké rumy, je to možná dobrá volba, svým způsobem je to i rum originální, nemůžu ho přirovnat k žádnému z těch, co jsem zatím pil. Takže zkuste a udělejte si svůj úsudek, což ostatně platí vždy.

Dry, oaky, nutty, fruity. An amazingly good rum.....excellent bottle, excellent liquid. Every collection NEEDS this!

One smooth mother of a rum. Absolutely gorgeous stuff just as good if not better than Mount Gay XO.

Wow, this rum blows away anything that MG sells for under $100. This is real rum at its finest, especially bajan style. I gave it a 9 because it blows away MG, (1pt), it's 86 proof (1pt) and for the price ($35) it's delicious (7pts). This has made itself a spot on my bar shelf! Never thought I could harness another bajan rum after so many MG disappointments. Hey, you never know!

...in this range of price points. Very sippable (my standard), plus a really interesting, distinctive bottle to add to your personal rum bar!

Definitely worth a try...

First, I'd like to note that I misspelled this in my original notes by adding an "s" to the end of Seale. This is incorrect, and I hope to not embarrass myself in the future.
Aroma: a fragrant vanilla that I really really enjoy
Taste: vanilla and honey
I sampled this with a single ice cube, which might have helped bring out the nose and flavors

with a slight burn from the extra alcohol (86 proof instead of the usual 80). But for a lover of basic rum taste, well worth it for a sipper. This is simply too good to mix it with anything.
The first sniff gives an alcohol jolt but then a pleasant oaky aroma from the aging process.
First taste again, gives that alcohol jolt with a bit of burn as it goes down that quickly changes to that sugar/caramel taste that is expected of a good rum. This is not a sweet rum, but rather a very dry one that comes from great distilling without doctoring with extra sugar after the aging.
If you want a sweet rum, try elsewhere. If you want to taste a "classic" pure rum, grab the next "unique" bottle you see.

Full-bodied and slightly aged rum with a fine touch of dried fruit, caramel and some barrel, good length.

Medium deep brownish yellow.
