Famille Ricci Volt Face 2021
A Jamaica–Guyana blend that punches above its 66.6% on paper — several tasters call the alcohol surprisingly well-integrated, almost an easy sipper for the strength. Expect roasted coffee, honey, dried fruit, dark chocolate and a heavy, earthy Guyana core with Worthy Park's varnished fruit peeking through. A couple of members found it a touch one-dimensional or drying, but most saw a smart blend.
The community says- Great alcohol integration
- Roasted, earthy depth
- Keep in mind: Can read astringent

From community reviews · summarized with AI
Heavy Jamaica-Guyana blend, well-tamed 66.6% Most see a well-made high-proof blend with roasted, earthy depth and shockingly good alcohol integration. A few find it too dry, one-note, or that the power fades fast.

At 66.6°, the integration of the alcohol is remarkable! You could almost say it's an easy sipper. You can really taste the two origins as well as the two wood essences. The pot still aspect is not too noticeable. A great success.

Remarkable ABV at 66.6%. These are noticeable but well integrated. Guyana is noticeable on the palate, but it remains too one-dimensional for me. Special points for the good PLV. Not a must-have.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light roasted wood, dried fruit, light nutts, light coffee, faint chocolate. Palate Warm, light wood, roasted, light coffee, light honey, light chocolate, light almonds, light fruits. Finish Long and warm, medium dry, light wood, faint chocolate, dried fruit, light almonds. Extra note. Got better as it warmed up in my hand.
Review by Jakob
Very dominant dried fruit flavors that take up a bit too much space for me.
Review by TheJackDrop
"Quite flavorful, but complicated to drink. Much too harsh for me; my throat was very dry at the end of the tasting. In summary, my tasting notes: Nose: Caramel, Honeyed Palate: Dried fruit, Heavy"
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
10/04/25: Famille Ricci tasting @ TasTToe. Blend of Worthy Park and DDL. Ageing in white Pineau casks and chestnut barrels. Nose: DDL is recognisable, a bit alcoholic. Palate: WP is there but not overwhelming. You can still taste the DDL influence.
Review by Vincent D
Already heavy on the nose. The two origins face each other. The heaviness of Guyana and the varnished fruit of Jamaica. On the palate, it's heavy and fruity, earthy and complex. A great blend, even if the alcohol is there!

Review by Pavel Spacek
Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum especially appreciated by rum lovers who are fed up with sugar and looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.
Review by Jacques etdom
Good blend. The Jamaican is present, then the Guyana takes over, rounded out by the chestnut barrel. Alcohol present but integrated. It was with this that I discovered this top bottler, who continues to take me from surprise to surprise, and above all, no longer to be put off by such high degrees. A job well done.
Review by Rhumain
Wow, what devilry! The power is there but unfortunately fades a bit too quickly.
Review by Stijn Zino
Road Rummers S8 T5 Ricci tasting Roasted nose after resting also some dirt in the nose. For 66,6 I still think this is a soft rum (in a bad way). The flavours don't shine through. I get some dirt from it. Good but not great.
Review by Jo Hoo
08.2025 GRF: High ABV, reasonable price, but not confident in detail.
Review by Rumbaron
Notes of roasted coffee beans and honey go hand in hand with dark chocolate, quince jam and leather.
Review by Ack JF
Great discovery
