Just not a style I think I like. Harsh burn for me, lots of spice when I sipped with a bit of ice. Better with coke but kept striking me as a whiskey more than a rum.

Barbados and Martinique seem to be the two locations for rums I tend to like. This one is no exception. This rum is blended by R.L. Seale & Co. so it has that quality backing.
The aroma in my snifter is nice although a bit subtle. Has a little alcohol astringency but not objectionable. It is a nice aroma. The color is a rich amber and swirling it in the glass reveals nice legs clinging to the sides of my snifter.
The flavor is nice on the outset. A little sweetness indicating it may be sugared a bit but not objectionably so (according to testing it is not sugared at all...I stand corrected...the sweetness detected is all natural). I detect some vanilla and toffee before a nice warmth envelopes the throat. It does have an oak undertone which makes me think this was aged in barrels of some sort although I cannot find anything definitive at this time. The best I can determine from various source is that this is a blend of rums from the R.L. Seale company.
This is a rum that kind of grows on you the more you sip it. It is a rather good rum best suited as a mixer in my opinion. The finish is nice and long leaving a toffee sweetness on the palate. Not a harsh burn but a lingering strong warming sensation. A good journeyman's rum. This would make a nice addition to a rum cabinet and the under $20 price that I got makes it a nice bargain.
I drink this on ice. Been goin through the entire Rum shelf at Total Wine and keep coming back to this. It's a hardy rum with character but smooth. Good in mixed drink, stands up to the sweetness. At $15 what do ya have to lose? The goods. Cheers!!

This is a good rum. It's not a premium rum but it is versatile. It can be sipped but it is at its best mixed in a cocktail or with a splash of gingerbeer and a twist of lime with some ice. It will put a smile on your face.

This is a flavorful rum for the money. A little harsh for drinking straight up, but goes down nicely with a few ice cubes.

I'm a big fan of Foursquare. The put out some great products. I have a bottle of Old Brigand Black Label in my collection, mostly for mixing. I leave the sipping up to the Doorly's XO and R.L. Seale. I like this in Painkillers.
A very familiar and very pleasant experience.

This inoffensive blend from Barbados is worth the money. I used it for the base of a blend of different rums to be consumed at home in my daily rum rations. No complaints, with a bit of Black Strap and Demerara mixed in my swizzles were more than adequate.
