RA Burke‘s Seamaster Edition 2023
Newcomers to Spanish-style rum are the natural audience here: a rounded blend of well-aged Central and South American spirit with vanilla, roasted coconut, caramel and a quiet herbal note. Bottled at 49.2%, so it has some backbone without being hot. Several tasters call it a good gateway rum — pleasant and easy, if not especially exciting when sipped neat.
The community says- Roasted coconut
- Well-integrated ABV
- A bit one-dimensional

The look inside the bottle
How does RA Burke‘s Seamaster Edition 2023 taste?
Aggregated from 34 community reviews.
Easy, coconut-vanilla Spanish-style entry blend Most people see a friendly, well-balanced entry-level Spanish blend — vanilla, coconut and light oak. The recurring catch: a touch flat and one-dimensional neat, with a slightly tart, bitter finish for some.

Review by machlo
General profile reminds me foursquare, but intensity and balance is so so, too tart and bitter in the finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Toller blend aus 2x 23y altem Nicaragua und 18y altem Venezuela Rum! Überraschend runder und dennoch verhältnismäßig komplexer blend. Alkoholgehalt ist super gewählt um sowohl pur als auch in Drinks wie Manhattan, El Rey, old fashioned etc eine gute Figur zu machen. Seit langem endlich Mal wieder was gutes aus dem Hause Rum Artesanal! Preis Leistung für ca 60€ absolut fair!
Review by Master P
Der Kokosgeruch und Geschmack gefallen mir sehr gut, auch das er nicht so süß ist. Ist komplett anders als der seamaster blendend. Top
Review by Oliver
A very harmonious Spanish blend with high-quality, very old components. I really like the contrast with the 1st Seamaster. I'm curious to see how the series will develop in the future. Very fair price-performance ratio. Ideal for beginners.

RumX Lotterie Juni 23, online RA Tasting. Der neue Seamaster, keine Neuauflage des Alten, sondern ein völlig anderer Blend. Zwei alte „Spanier“, einer 23yo, der andere 18yo, 50/50 gemischt und auf 49% verdünnt. Den kann man eindeutig auch pur trinken. Nase: würzig-fruchtig, süßlich-holzig. Das reife Alter holt einiges heraus. Vanille und Kokos erinnern an Belize, dazu Aprikose und Sahnetoffee. Wirkt angenehm schokoladig mit einem Hauch von Lakritze. Sehr angenehm. 8,0 Gaumen: würzig-süßer Antritt. Anis zu Beginn, dann wird er holziger, Vanille und Toffee kommen hinzu, wieder etwas Lakritze. Intensive Kokosnuss, hinten heraus kräuterig… etwas schwächer als die Nase, was auch an der Verdünnung liegt. 7,8 Insgesamt eine weicher, angenehmer Einsteiger-Blend.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
In der Nase erstaunlich schwach und etwas nichtssagend. Am Gaumen dann aber sehr angenehm und schön süffig. Nicht allzu komplex allerdings meiner Meinung nach ideal für Einsteiger.
Review by zabo
Ganz anders als der erste Blend. Nicht schlecht, aber der erste war um einiges besser m.M.
Review by Agricoler
Toller Blend Spitze zum Mixen. Für mich ein toller Rum zum einsteigen. Aber ehrlich gesagt auch so nicht zu verachten. Richtig gute Sache. Kann ich mir auch in Verbindung mit Rosine zum Backen sehr gut vorstellen.

#4191 This one is more well rounded than the older Seamaster. Fruity with nice balanced spices and wood. There is a nice herbal note hidden in there as well. The empty glass has some herbs, light chocolate and coffee.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
The taste is very greedy, like a fruity and milky candy, with cherries or strawberries. The peach takes me to more golden flavors as I move towards vanilla, coconut milk and sweet caramel. Then I find our fuller, more tropical and exotic fruitiness, which even gives me a touch of copper. The finish is pastry-like, caressed by almond milk and exotic stewed fruits. I would like to express my gratitude to Rum Artesanal for the flavor sets 🙏🏻
Review by Johannes
Ein gelungener Blend. Vielleicht zum Purtrinken etwas eindimensional.
Review by Christian Rudt
Guter Blend für den Einsteiger in die komplexere Rumwelt. Ansonsten einfach ein leichter sipper für Freunde spanischen Stils.
Review by Jakob
RumX Community Tasting mit Rum Artesanal zur Tasting Lottery Juni 2023: Geradliniger spanischer Blend. Vanille, dezente Trockenfrüchte, Karamell, Gewürze und Holz. Angenehm und sehr süffig, spannende Ergänzung zum ersten Seamaster Blend, der in eine recht andere Richtung ausschlägt.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Won this in the june lottery of RumX. Hee hee! Pretty cool set of Rum Artesanal. Nose: Like a good Spanish style rum. Caramel. Vanilla. Bourbon/American oak. Nothing outstanding but nice enough. Just a whiff of thyme/herbal-coughing syrop. Taste: more of the same. A tad sharp but that's okay. Roasted coconut. Lots of American Oak/Bourbon too. All in all not an unpleasant example of Spanish rum spirit. Unsweetened. A good gateway rum. The ABV gives it's quality a nice kick.
Review by Fuwi
Der Vertreter dieser Reihe ist leider etwas flacher. Kaum Reaktionen in der Nase, am Gaumen und an der Zunge kommt er kräftiger, holzige daher als gedacht. Ganz ok, nett aber nicht besonders spannend.
Review by HenryL
Einfacher, leckerer spanischer Blend. Flor de Cana in etwas spannender. Taugt als entspannter sipper, ist aber nicht sonderlich aufregend. Gute Preis-Leistung und etwas das sowohl Anfänger als auch Fortgeschrittene gemeinsam genießen können.
Review by F.L.O.
Guter Mixer, mit einer ganz eigenen Note. Gibt nen abwechslungsreichen Daiquiri.
Review by Pavel Spacek
This one is nice FSQ blend. Even if I read Venezuela on the label :)
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Verkostet im Rahmen des RA-Online-Tastings zur RumX-Lotterie 06/2023. In der Nase erstaunlich schwach und dünn, am Gaumen rund, aber etwas muffig. Ungesüßt. Ein guter, ehrlicher Anfängerrum.
Review by Mike H.
70 points. Round, fruity with a little spice and wood and a touch of herbs. A decent entry level rum for beginners who don’t want to spend too much on their first bottles but not something that I need in my spirits shelf.
