The look inside the bottle
How does R.L. Seale's Old Brigand Olde Brigand taste?
Aggregated from 9 community reviews.
Honest, easygoing Foursquare daily sipper Reliable, unsweetened Foursquare with classic vanilla-caramel and woody spice. Not very complex, but a fair, easygoing daily sipper at its price.
Rum drinkers tired of sugary rums who want an affordable, honest Barbados sipper with classic vanilla-caramel and light oak for casual drinking or simple cocktails.
Those seeking high complexity, perfectly integrated alcohol, or big cask-strength intensity; also not ideal for fans of very sweet, dessert-style rums.

Surprisingly good tasting starter.

Vůně ani chuť nic moc, nevýrazné
Review by Lot-NAS
A nice Foursquare without any flaws but also a bit boring as it is not overly complex (Vanilla, caramel, wood spices and a bit of spices on the palate). Tue mouthfeel is a bit thin and a bit higher ABV would have been great. On the other hand the alcohol is already not integrated very well. Looking at the price tag it is probably fair and there are better and worse ones in this range.

Einstieg heute mit diesem leckeren Foursquare. In der Nase zu erst sehr alkoholisch, sogar leichte Noten von Benzin. Leichte Noten im Geschmack von Zitrusfrüchten und relativ stark im Abgang. Hätte mir aber noch ein bisschen mehr erwartet.
Review by Timo Groeger
So Tasting Einstieg heute mit 17 Rums. Fürs erste einen mit niedrigerer Prozentzahl genommen :) In der Nase leicht alkoholischen und eine gewisse Würze. Im Gaumen überwiegt dann auch der Alkohol. Ganz ok.
Review by Tom Buteneers
It’s okay. Pretty alcoholic in the flavor profile for only 43%. A bit basic.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
