Thinking about the price tag on this bottle you Gert a lot of Barbados on your table. A surprisingly good rum with fruit and spices. The wood is light but the spices on the palate makes it warm. I like it.
Review by Rick Meyer
Delicious rum! This gives ECS Indelible quite the run for its money!
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Excellent choice, is a bit pricier than the 10 years, but is worth the extra money. This is a premium choice for half price other Foursquare options. Granted that the ABV is not as high but still very good.
Review by Unanswered Prayer
a stunning experience. this rum blends dry spiciness with velvety smoothness seamlessly. the cream note especially surprised me, both in taste and texture. the 12 year age provides balance rather than an overwhelmingly woody taste profile.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Very smooth, robust flavor. Great mix of barrel influence and tropical fruits. Easy sipper or mixer, very high quality rum.
Review by daiquiri_lab
Burbon soaked brown sugar, with a very high drinkablity factor and no adulteration. A quality product at the price, but it doesn't have the body or depth that the exceptional cask series brings. Still, it's quite nice en daiquiri, bringing lots of brown sugar and vanilla with a touch of bourbon, and it's a very good ambassador to the uninitiated. A great addition to anyone's rum bar.
Review by Solidfunk
Complex and takes you on a great journey for the price range. Pours copper. Whiskey barrel oak, lemon cream, vanilla. Maybe some fresh coconut water. A slight metallic tinge at the end. The most interesting thing about this is the way it fills up back of the sinuses when it's in your mouth. Almost like funky dry leaves, halloween. Some peppercorn on the tip of your tongue. It's not as smooth and fruity as Doorly's 12, but it may be a little more complex. It's just on the dark side of things, the funkier aromas. Had a glass of this at Churchkey after 10 years of only drinking beer--for good reason--at Churchkey.

Review by Peter Bosel
Not amazing, but a nice easy sipper.
Review by MoMcGurk
A nice oaky flavor, but a strong afterburn. When mixed with Coke, the burn is cut quite a bit. Plus, it comes in a pretty cool bottle!
Review by Mark Leggett
Was expecting more from this. It's not bad but nothing special either. For the price I won't be getting it again.
