    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its rich dried-fruit core, dark chocolate and toasted oak, with sherry influence present yet balanced. Hints of tobacco and coffee lead to a long, warming finish. Often enjoyed neat—many suggest brief aeration. A 14-year, 56% Foursquare single blend limited to 12,000 bottles, it’s a popular choice backed by 110 community reviews and strong buyer confidence.

    very tasty foursquare, nice coffee & cocoa note! This is definitely daily easy sipping material. Extremely round and drinkable. The port barrel harmonizes very well with the rum without making it sweeter, but brings in nice notes of figs, citrus, tobacco and tannins. Very horny number.

    Lovely smell and taste of Oak. One sip and your mouth fills up with the taste of oak. Awesome experience 😍 A very good and balanced rum with a great finish! Nose: Intense, Sherry, dried fruits, coconut, prunes, fruity, raisin, caramelized, woody, spicy, oak, vanilla, roasted nuts Mouth: complex, balanced, dry, full bodied, delicious, cognac, tobacco, sweet, caramel, dried fruits, dried dates, raisin, oak, woody, vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted nuts Finish: Medium, dry, tannins, tobacco, dried fruits, prunes, caramelized, oak(barrel), vanilla, roated nuts, dark chocolate, smoky

    Despite the alcohol, the nose is sweet. Pastries and leather, varnished wood and overripe banana. A slight sourness spoils the party. The finish is average, rather varnish-like. The empty glass gives voice to the tropical fruit. A disappointing rum, with parasitic aromas we could have done without. To be retested with more oxidation. Re-tested with oxidation and all is much better, the fruit is ample and the sulphur has vanished. Three more well-deserved points.

    Im kurzen Vergleichstest der Foursquare Equipoise und der Foursquare Empery. Wie es nicht anders zu erwarten war, sind beide auf dem üblich hohen Niveau. Insgesamt gesehen, brechen aber beide auch nicht nach oben aus. Mittlerweile, obwohl ich Foursquare sehr schätze, wäre mein Fazit, kennste einen, kennste alle.
