RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

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.

I've had better tasting rums and more expensive rums, but this is probably the best "bang for your buck" (speaking of rums now) that you will find on all readily accessible rums. I find this to be slightly smoother and more overall pleasing than Doorly's 12yr. otherwise that would be the best value. Smooth mouth feel with enjoyable lasting warmth in the throat. Butter, marshmallows, dark fruit, and slight carmel flavors. Perfect sweetness throughout. Has a permanent place in my cabinet.

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.

I had high expectations coming into this rum. I’m a huge fan of Doorly’s 12, and think Foursquare can make great rum. It’s unmistakably Bajan rum, but not as good as Doorly’s 12. Great bottle, but I personally prefer other Bajan rums in the same price range. Although at the price this goes for, it’s certainly still worth a try.
