RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

Enjoy your over-priced, over-aged, "premium" (added) sugar bomb rums people. Marvel at the beauty of that caramel coloring while your at it! This Richard Seale disciple and Foursquare fan says, "no thanks". This HONEST distiller -- accurate age statements, no additives, does not ruin his rum by over-aging it so he can over-charge the misinformed for it (rum is not scotch) is your "desert island distiller". This rum is simply perfection -- the gold standard, and priced at what rum SHOULD cost. Rum, neat, is my poison of choice. I've tried many -- not all, and have yet to find one that matches this at any price. Foursquare and its rum, especially its premium bottle (this one), has earned a permanent place on my shelf. When the bottle is empty, I drive to get another "fill-up", with the urgency of one whose gas tank is on "E". Life's too short for over-aged, caramel colored, over-priced, sugar added, flavors added crap that too often passes for rum these days. No need to look further -- this is, literally, the real deal. Mr Seale, I'm much obliged. Thank you, sir. Bless you.

Tento rum bych doporučil těm co se chystají pít neslazené rumy a chtějí ochutnat plný a opravdu dokonalý rum, který hravě předčí i mnohem dražší produkty z Foursquare. Tento rum jsem si koupil ze zvědavosti, jestli už jsem připraven si vychutnat tento typ rumu. Vůně je krásně oříšková a velmi příjemná. V chuti je krásně cítit vanilka a tropické ovoce, je příjemně sladký ale neslazený. Konec je kráásně příjemně dlouhý plný mandlí, skořice a karamelek. Jeden z mých opravdu top a určitě si ho koupím znovu, protože proč se hnát za všemi limitkami když je zde tento klenot.

A really decent rum that you can drink any way all evening... Has depths of dark flavour and excellent value for money

I've read lots of info regarding how Foursquare Distillery is commited to achieve their rum flavor only by art of fermenation, distillation and aging, without involving chemistry lab to mess with the final product and finally I decided to go for RL Seale 10-year old.

I expected some heavy taste to hit my tongue, more than that, I was quite sure I am not yet ready to fully appreciate the work of people from this Barbados distillery - and I could not be more wrong! Pour yourself this 46% ABV magic into the glass and you will witness how wonderfully smooth and complex it is. Pure pleasure for sipping, for such a low price. Moreover, you know what you are buying, as clear statement of age comes on the bottle - this fella will not deceive you with misleading information just to put its hand on your wallet.

Second time I sipped RL Seale along with Zacapa XO - although XO is also definitely worth trying, question appeared in my mind: will I spend so much money for it again, when a true rum, with clear age statement and no additives can be purchased for much smaller price? For me, the answer is NO.

If you are on a stage, when sweetness in rum is your thing (so you enjoy the sugar added), try RL Seale 10 year - for me it was a game changer.

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! Is a masterpiece. I didn't believe all the feedback and hype surrounding it, until the very moment that i saw it upon a shelf! It beckoned to me! The bottle shape, its decoration, its presence and dignified appearance, i swear dammnit it shouted right into my ear: "grab me and drink me"! I gazed upon it decisively and saw the red label "Export Proof". Double checked the % and indeed, it said 46! I immediately grabbed it by its neck and dragged it to the the cashier. 48 euros. Pirate flask, check! Seale, check!!! Bajan, check! I immediately opened that too, even if not one day ago, i uncorked the Appleton 21. Boy, what a strong and pleasant smell! Wooden cask, reeks or "premium"! Great bite, mediocre pleasing burn, feels spicy, tastes fruity, with a very smooth texture and a memorable aftertaste! This is absolutely a "flagship" rum, even if it costs less than half of one's price! Keep up the good work and keep the damned sugar and additives, as faraway as possible, from bottles of rum! Yarr

I have tried over 200 different rums. Some I find too sweet as they can add coloring and sugar to make it more to the taste of the casual drinker. Barbados does not allow any adulteration to the rums produced there. This is smooth and perfect for someone who enjoys the fine nuances of rum. I has wonderful favors of cane syrup, bananas, and other tropical fruits and spices. There is no harshness and remains smooth throughout the tasting. While I plan to drink this neat or with two cubes of ice, I would consider having a splash on Cointreau with ice. I have had bottles of rum costing over 5X this and their could not compare to this one. A keeper.

A perfect daily sipper. Balanced in every way. A stronger brown sugar note than other Bajan rums I've had, and a little less oak than usual, in a good way. This is the rum I plan to always have on hand.

The best rum I have ever tried. I would recommend to any rum drinker, new or old.

Great all round only slightly better than diplamatico
