RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

I’m partial to Barbados runs. This is more complex than some of them. Not as sweet.

I will say up front this rum stings a bit, more than other rums with the same ABV. Once past that, this does everything it is supposed to do. I wouldn't call it special in any way, but it does what it should, nothing more, nothing less. May absolutely recommend if one is not looking for something unique or particularly interesting.

Rum is ok but it seems distiller focused more on packaging than product. It’s an ok drinker - better on ice than neat

This rum is going to stand out anywhere because of the shape of it's bottle. In the glass the color is amber caramel. The rum itself is good. It is a bit dry with no hint of sweetness. Tasting notes of wood, dry corriander, peppercorns and paprika. There is a little burn at first but it coats the pallet well. I love the slightly higher 43 ABV. It is not thin. No sugars. No additives. Aged 10 years and you really taste the maturity. Barbados rum from Four Square. Best of all is the purchase price for $27. I have it at 7.5.

Very tasty, definitely got components of FQ EC in this rum

This has less wood influence than Doorly's, which makes it a bit less interesting to me, but overall a good, dry rum. I think its similar in flavor profile to the Doorly's XO 6yr, but a slightly better version of it. It was only $25, so an excellent value, but didn't thrill me enough to go out and buy it again.

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!

I've been exploring rums for awhile now and learned I'm just not up to the extreme hojo of offerings like Wray & Nephew or Smith & Cross...I wanted something flavorful and I've found various other Foursquare products among my favorites...My normal go-to's are Doorly's 5-yr, 8-yr and XO. The R.L. Seale hits the Goldilocks zone for me--it's just right. I much know I'm drinking rum, the taste is great and it doesn't break the bank...I'm giving this a 9 rating because the 10's exceed my bank account. Maybe some day. Recommended.

...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...

Nose of coffee, chocolate, light vanilla and citrus fruits. Well balanced, not overly complex and lovely nose. Taste -on first taste the rum is quite dry and full of spices. Followed by banana, dark chocolate, ginger and stone fruits. The rum is very sippable. The finish is medium with notes of oak, nuts and smokiness behind. Highly recommended rum for anyone who wants to go on the path of unadulterated and pure rums.
