RL Seale ABV 43 10-Year

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

A very nice, surely value-for-money close-to-whisky rum. And a very piraty bottle to please the eye...

In the aroma sweet,in the taste at the beginning Intense,sweet,woody and in the aftertaste it remains intensely spicy and peppery,I expect more complex and clean taste.

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.

...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...

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.

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.

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

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.

Smooth, not too dry on finish. Tried it during tasting while visiting the Foursquare distillery.
