Opinions genuinely split here. To some it's a "liquid dessert" — caramel, crème brûlée, roasted coconut and cocoa, with obvious Foursquare/Barbados character and a touch of Guyana depth. Others find the 64.5% alcohol poorly integrated and the whole thing a bit flat, hard to pull much out of. A Guyana-Barbados blend that either charms you or frustrates you.
The community says- Crème brûlée notes
- Foursquare character
- Keep in mind: Hot, poorly integrated

Caramel-heavy cask-strength blend, but hot Loved by dessert-rum fans for the caramel and crème brûlée; others find the high-proof heat badly integrated and the profile thin. Real divide on this one.

8,1;On the nose, the first impression we get is quite monotonuos, restrained with roasted wood notes, baking spices and dried fruits, solvents. On aeration, it opens up, the presence is strong, with various roasted tones like cocoa, butterscotch, coffee, pastry, roasted nuts, spices like vanilla and pepper and fruits like coconut, cherry and some citrus, the molasses is slightly vegetal. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is slightly alcoholic, fruity with dried apricots and raisins, toasted coconut, some citrus, roasted wood notes like roasted nuts, crème brûlée, spicy with baking spices and pepper.On oxidation, delicious biscuits and pastry arise, with a whiff of smoke, variety of fruits with rhubarb, prunes, orange and pineapple, especially citrus fruits are candied. 8,1:The finish is dry, fruity like on the palate, perhaps with banana arising, roasted wood helps with delicious citrus tart, some crunchy bread, cocoa, caramel, roasted hazelnuts, chocolate, spicy baking spices and leather.

A blend of Guyana and Barbados bottled by the Ricci Family. The nose is rather timid, more Foursquare-oriented, with light spicy, pastry notes and a touch of solvents. On the palate, it's aggressive, quite strong and the alcohol is poorly integrated. Apart from spicy, roasted notes, caramel and a hint of chocolate, there's not much to take from it. The finish is persistent, very sketchy, wedged on spices and a few woody, sweet notes. You have to play hide-and-seek with the aromas, and it's hard to get anything positive out of it. A terribly bland and unbalanced rum, which becomes almost unpleasant.
Review by Skyfly
Nice blend with a good flavor profile. Dried fruit, caramel, woody, roasted and spicy aromas on the nose. The palate is very spicy, with wood, chocolate, coconut and a little creme brulee. The finish is woody/nutty again. Like Volt Face #2, the alcohol is very strong. In a direct comparison, the #2 is ahead 2nd tasting: Flavors like the first one. With Volt #2, the open bottle has significantly improved the integration of the alcohol. This did not happen as well with Volt #3. Nevertheless +1 point
Review by Timo Groeger
So, that's all there is to say about this one. Rum ;) I haven't had many Riccis in my glass, but this one is no more than average. Chocolate and vanilla, that's what we can recognize here.

#4942 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Medium intense, light wood, faint chocolate, spice, faint leather, light pineapple, faint caramel. Palate Warm, light wood, faint roasted, light chocolate, medium spicy, medium intense, faint caramel, faint banana, light raisin. Finish Long and warm, light wood, fruits, light pineapple, light caramel, faint chocolate.
Review by zabo
For a blend of Guyana and Barbados, the Barbados markers are a little understated here. These are difficult to recognize. Overall, I find it too alcoholic even after a longer period of standing. This is really poorly integrated. Otherwise there would have been a little more in it
Review by Chrischi78
Tasted at the 14th German Rum Festival: Guyana is immediately apparent, but you have to look hard for the Barbados influences. All in all, a pleasant blend, not too complex but I still liked it!
Review by TheJackDrop
Edit: tasted at the Brussels Rhum Festival! > everything is there: fruits, spices, coffee, caramel.. > big kick, crème brûlée, cocoa, woody (Pepper, spices, coconut, caramel) > crème brûlée, cocoa, tiramisu… (Woody and a bit astringent but okay) Darker than the 2.
Review by Julien Ries
So let's say it straight away, if the age of the rums used here is a mystery, the distilleries are an open secret. The nose is typical of Foursquare. And the Guyana side can only come from Diamond, which distributes the El Dorado brand. The scents are very marked by Richard Seale's touch: roasted coconut, caramel, pastries and custard tart. In the background, darker notes add more depth to the juice, with blond coffee beans, not burnt, but very fruity. The alcohol is quite present and you expect that this rum is not suitable for Belle Maman or my dear wife, given its ethylic strength. It's something manly. The entry on the palate is burning, both from the alcohol and the spices (chili, ginger), with still a big liveliness of roasted coconut in the style of coconut rock pastry. I who love Foursquares, am spoiled with a rum at 35€. After this very lively attack, you are accompanied by a lot of roundness (probably the pineau playing its role) and quite surprisingly, a bit of a salty side. It's salted butter caramel very indulgent, with a nicely syrupy liquid. It's possible that a little sugar was added by Morgan, but it's discreet, and maybe I'm wrong. The more pastry-like spices come after: cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg. The finish is quite short to medium, with the Guyana bringing a bit of coffee. Verdict: well for the price, it would be a shame to miss it. It's a well-balanced blend, with in my opinion a majority of Barbados and a very very discreet Guyana, but which brings a little something extra. A very nice initiation for beginners to Foursquare rums, provided you are not too sensitive to the alcohol degree which is not negligible.

Liquid dessert
Review by Romain de L
A bit disappointed overall - I expected something stronger / more impactful - but well nevertheless
Review by Djehey
Very gourmand. You can feel the influence of Barbados. At 64.5, the alcohol is still noticeable. Little complexity, not very interesting for me. I prefer the first face version. Average value for money.
Review by Jacques etdom
A dessert with watts. Very good rum, excellent job. Alcohol present but superbly integrated. Makes you want to keep coming back for more. Well done. A very good 8/10 considering the great value for money. Go for it.
Review by Johannes
Unfortunately there are no more precise details. Diamond (2004?!) clearly dominates with the typical intense malty note. I can only guess at Barbados.
Review by UraReng3
A dessert, leaning towards caramel, crème brûlée, a gem!
Review by Jean Louisss
Barbados and Guyana in harmony on the nose and palate. A quality blend with a nice integration for each of the rums.

Interesting blend, IMHO partialy integrated tastes..
Review by Renato
The nose is very fruity. The palate is caramelized and very lively thanks to the alcohol. The finish, darker, struggles to develop. Lots of sweetness on the palate and little length. A disappointment.
