Famille Ricci Volt Face No3 Guyana-Barbade
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
- But: Hot, poorly integrated

Review by Djehey
Très gourmand. On sent l'influence de la Barbade. À 64,5, l'alcool se fait quand même sentir. Peu de complexité, pas très intéressant pour moi. Je lui préfère le volet face 1. Rapport qualité prix moyen .

#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.

Le nez est très fruité. La bouche est caramélisée et très vive grâce à l'alcool. La finale, plus sombre, a du mal à se développer. Beaucoup de sucrosité en bouche et peu de longueur. Une déception.
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 TheRhumhoe
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.
