Final fall, we reviewed R.L. Seale’s 12 Year Rum, however not lengthy into the brand new 12 months we found to our shock it has somewhat brother. Identical packaging; identical Foursquare provenance; identical tremendous distinctive bottle, which, as an apart, is reportedly designed to imitate the leather-based rum jugs utilized by pirates, full with a thumb indention for simple pouring. The one actual distinction right here is that this Bajan rum is 2 years youthful and barely decrease in proof. Let’s see how these small particulars change the equation.

There’s nonetheless a lot for Foursquare followers to take pleasure in on this one. The aroma stays intensely tropical and tailored for Mai Tais. There’s a bit much less oak, and the coconut component is a contact sweeter, making this one maybe much more fruit ahead than its older sibling. On the palate, the identical holds true, a minimum of initially. Huge fruit notes – lychee, coconut, pineapple, even somewhat white peach – punch with gusto on the outset, however issues mood rapidly as that sweetness dries out, changed by a inexperienced, gingery spice. Just like the 12 12 months previous, the end is essentially dominated by darkish vanilla bean, but it surely’s the previous steadiness of candy and dry that’s most memorable. Simply as versatile because the older R.L. Seale’s and for nearly half the value.

86 proof.
