R.L. Seale's 10 Year Rum

Light, somewhat fruity and floral.

The nose has burnt sugar, vanilla, and a touch of coconut. Burnt sugar hits you right away on the tongue with butterscotch. This is a little firey for the proof with a light mouth feel. There is a slightly bitter finish. This is good for sipping gently.

The nose is full and smoky. The palate has some sweetness that tends toward light caramel mixed with plenty of wood. It tastes a bit on the young side, withy he flavors not being fully integrated. It's good, but nothing spectacular. Given its only mild complexity, if like it to be smoother. I do appreciate the dry tannins and not being overly sweet, but it has that lightness and minerality that Evan Williams Black does.

“Clean” is a good descriptor; those looking for/used to the sugary sweet rums probably won’t like it
