Rum Artesanal Burke's Seamaster Blended Rum
Most people rate this a genuinely likable Barbados-Jamaica blend, though a few find the alcohol not quite tucked in at 50%. The Foursquare-style side brings coconut, vanilla, caramel and almond, while the Jamaican part adds banana, pineapple and light ester funk. It tips dry and a touch spicy on the finish. A handful call it too sharp-edged neat, but almost everyone rates the value highly.
The community says- Great value
- Coconut-banana balance
- But: Alcohol a touch rough

🤤🇧🇧🇯🇲 exactly what I hoped for and yet did not expect: Barbados trumps with coconut, caramel, almonds and vanilla and is supported by New Yarmouth typical banana, pineapple, raw cookie dough, some tangerine zest and ester in just the right concentration. very very harmoniously tuned and both for sipping and for cocktails (MaiTai or especially Royal Bermuda yacht club are class with it!🤤) at an insanely good PLV perfectly matched! very cool! 🙏😍

Ich weiß auch nicht, dieser Rum Ist für mich schwer einzuordnen. Riecht angenehmer als er schmeckt. Eine Mischung aus trocken würzig und bitter. Dazu kommt der etwas scharfkantige ABV. Leider gar nicht mein Fall. Geht eher in die Richtung eines Supermarkt-Rums.
Review by Oliver
Harmonious blend from Barbados (main component) and Jamaica. Typical Foursquare associations on the nose with a few tropical fruits. On the palate, the Jamaican component comes out a little more. A great blend for relaxed enjoyment. However, the real strength lies in high-quality drinks.
Review by Timo Groeger
Trifft auch grad nicht so ganz meinen Geschmack. Ist geschmacklich ziemlich süß dieser Rum. Wir haben hier Vanille und Kokosnuss in der Nase und am Gaumen. Ester macht sich auch bemerkbar, sowie etwas Vanille am Gaumen.
Review by Johannes
Im Abgang ist er mir etwas zu adstringierend mit einer bitteren Orangennote.
Review by HenryL
Delicious thing, I think it's also very good for a slow introduction to Jamaica. At 50%, it's a great blend from two of the biggest rum nations. Not something to really get to grips with, but very nice for a cozy evening. And with a great price-performance ratio
Review by Leo Krüper
Hintenraus eine fiese Jägermeister Note. Vorne ganz nett, wie dieser alte FRC den es da mal gab für kleines Geld.
Review by Tim
A blend from Jamaica and Guyana/Barbados? Esters, tropical fruits such as banana and coconut, chocolate and caramel. Spicy and dry in the mouth, with a smooth caramel sweetness. The flavors from Guyana/Barbados predominate in this blend.
Review by Frank
RumX Lotterie Juni, RA-online-tasting. Der erste Seamaster, aus guter Mixer gedacht und das ist r er auch. Wie kommt er pur rüber? Nase: ganz eindeutig haben wir hier einen ausgeglichenen Blend von Barbados und Jamaika. Das ist hier eher ein WP als ein HD. Fruchtig-würzig, viel Kokos und Vanille, zurückhaltende Ester. Wirkt etwas metallisch. Zu Beginn sticht der Alkohol etwas. Das Metallische vermählte sich allmählich mit würziger Nelke. Hinten heraus kommt noch deutlich Kirschjoghurt. Die Nelke stört mich ein wenig und er wirkt etwas kantig. 7,4 Gaumen: konsequent setzt sich die Nase am Gaumen fort. Für mich sticht die Nelke wieder etwas zu sehr hervor. Dahinter aber natürlich Kokos und Vanille von Foursquare. Nur leichte Ester. Fruchtig-würzig. Pur nicht so meins, als Mixer aber gut, mit einem Top PLV. 7,2

#4190 This rum has an edge to it and I think it'll make a pretty good rum for mixers. Medium fruity with wood and some spices. The palate is warm/spicy and the finish medium long. The empty glass is pretty strong on the toffee and light nutts.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Verkostet im Rahmen des RA-Online-Tastings zur RumX-Lotterie 06/2023. Angenehme Mischung aus Sahnebonbons und Orange. Auch pur gut zu trinken.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Für das Geld genial. Zugänglicher Rum, wäre perfekt für den Einstieg in die Rumwelt. Sehr gut ausbalanciert. Guter aber ein wenig trockener Abgang.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
In the taste, I can smell Barbados the most, which smoothly alternates the taste of Jamaica. It's not the worst, it's quite suitable for a quiet evening drink with friends. I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻
Review by Jakob
RumX Community Tasting mit Rum Artesanal zur Tasting Lottery Juni 2023: Absolute Aromenbombe. Frische Minze, Holz, leicht fleischig-ledrig, etwas dezente Süsse...wow. Eindrückliche Intensität. Für mich einer der absoluten Spitzenrums aus den frühen 2000er TDL-Jahrgängen und schon jetzt ein Highlight der 20023-Releases.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Won this in the june lottery of RumX. Hee hee! Pretty cool set of Rum Artesanal. So it's Foursquare (or WIRD?) and New Yarmouth? In the nose it sort of clashes and my nose picks up all these herbal notes first. After that the funk/pineapple comes through. Taste wise the Jamaican part kicks in first. Still the herbal notes keep popping up. A Foursquare would be more dominant I think so my guess is WIRD. Light. Caramel. Oranges. Interesting though. This is different than I would have expected. The funk overal is light. Most notes are subtle.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Tolle Mischung aus trocken, vanilligen, Barbados und funky, fruchtig, Jamaica. Runde Sache. Gutes PLV.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Le nez est plutôt enjôleur avec immédiatement des épices de Barbade à l’attaque. Ensuite arrivent la salade fruitée des esters ! A cela s’ajoute des amandes grillées, du boisé et du vernis. En bouche, la Barbade l’emporte avec sa noix de coco, du caramel, des amandes et de la vanille. Le tout est mis en valeur par de la banane sur-mûrie typique de la Jamaïque. On retrouve également de l’ananas et des esters bien dosés. C’est sec, intense et funky à la fois. La finale est très épicée et astringente. Mais l’ensemble est très rond et parfaitement équilibré.
Review by MarcT
I like this, it is a good composition between the mild taste of Barbados and Jamaican Funk. Well balanced, not overpowering in any way, and pleasant to drink. It should really shine in Cocktails, but I haven't done that yet. As uncomplicated companion for a quiet evening ideal as well, as it does not demand full attention. Quite reasonable Price as well.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Der Alkohol ist mir etwas zu präsent. Dadurch werden viele anderen Aromen verdrängt. Geschmacklich leider nicht ganz meins. Wenn man ihm etwas Luft gibt wird er zugänglicher.
Review by Agricoler
Ebenfalls ein toller Blend von RA. Der Mix aus Barbados und Jamaika ist durch die Ester und die Kokosnussnoten gut erkennbar. Passt super in einen Weihnachtsdrink.
Review by zabo
Für den Preis ein absoluter Knaller. Hab ihn erst pur probiert und dann als Mixer. Dort macht er fast noch eine bessere Figur. Mein Fazit er kann beides super! Edit: Heute beim online Tasting nochmals verkostet und wieder als sehr gut empfunden.
Review by Wernie
Ganz netter Blend, bei dem ,meiner Meinung nach, klar Barbados die Oberhand hat. Was das ganze schmälert ist, das der Alkohol nicht wirklich gut eingebunden ist.
Review by Mentalo
Preis -Leistung ist top. Barbadosnoten überwiegen, aber Jamaica kommt auch durch. Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Aber es bleibt ein sehr guter Blend in dem Preisbereich.
Review by Christian Rudt
Ein schöner Blend aus Barbados und Jamaika der wie erhofft zwischen den beiden Aromenwelten pendelt, wobei es einem Kampf gleicht welche Noten gerade den Ton angeben. Sehr gut.👍
Review by frankie
Idéal pour cocktails.
Review by Christoph
Nicht ganz so speziell vom Geschmack wie der Burke‘s White, dennoch sehr intensives Aroma. Im Gegensatz zum White den ich eher zum mixen verwende finde ich den Seamaster auch pur gut trinkbar.
Review by titouan burgos
Aroma's of vanilla caramel and strawberries Flavor of apricot almond and chocolate Texture is smooth and drying The aftertaste is a bit short but nice brown notes Good rum
Review by machlo
Really nice casual drinking rum. Alcohol well integrated. Some green, estery vegetal notes with sweetness like bubble gum. Worth the asking price.
Review by Fuwi
Wow. Also ich dachte erst an einen 90 - 100€ Barbados mit dem Jamaika Einschlag aber für den Kurs? Hab den Preis erst hinterher gesehen, dafür phantastisch! Aber auch sonst gefällt mir das Zusammenspiel zwischen Barbados mit den Foursquare typischen Aromen und dem funky Jamaika am Gaumen wirklich gut. Erst "behäbiger, gediegener" Richard Seale in der Nase, dann auf der Zunge Frucht und Ester. Klasse!
