Foursquare ECS XVII 2009

 Very good Foursquare (i would say better as the 2007). Spicy and oaky like a classic foursquare with a dominant note of cocoa. Nose: Glue, Oak, Spicy, Vanilla, coconut, trop fruits, dried fruits, raisin Mouth: Warm, Complex, balanced, full bodied, strong, round, trop. fruits, caramel, spicy, oak, vanilla, dark chocolate, roasted, tobacco Finish: Medium, tobacco, coconut, sweet, toffee, roasted, cocoa, vanilla, toated, oak, coffee

 The bottle fell sometime last year. Now I'm tasting a spare sample. Every vintage is hilarious and this one is no exception. On the nose, coconut, bourbon, dried fruit, perhaps praline, and a bit of technicality impress. The taste is quite sweet, but probably because of that, quite drinkable 😀 . On the palate, I'm intrigued by the notes of coconut, cocoa and some earthiness.

 A really really good Foursquare and with the big advantage of not being too rare so it’s easier to get hold of. I could still not help myself and bought 4 bottles, just to be able to have it as my daily goto rum, yummy 😋😋😋 - I might have forgot how many bottles I’ve now bought, but it might be closer to 10. Unfortunately this bottle starts to be a bit expensive for a daily driver 😆 - Dayliy goto and still outstanding.

 Another wonderful Exceptional Cask that I received a few of yesterday. This one was so god I had a double dip :-) Price to quality is extremely good and I will order more backup bottles. Complex and well balanced and a true foursquare from nose to finish. Having a go at this one again and the fruityness is very nice.

 Solid Foursquare - brings everything you'd expect from the standard range and is perhaps a tad more approachable than its predecessors. The tart spicy notes remain present, however, and the rest of the profile is paradetypical as well. So one should not expect big surprises.

 Sehr ähnlich zum 2008er, was eine gute Sache ist. Karamell, Vanille, Früchte (Kokos!), etwas röstiges und ein wenig Schokolade. Nur nicht ganz so rund und intensiv. Dennoch sehr guter Rum von Foursquare in hoher Verfügbarkeit zu einem guten Preis.

 Very good Foursquare, which brings everything you expect. Quite spicy and peppery (in a positive sense) on the palate, plus tropical fruits and some glue. Great rum from Barbados!

 Guter Foursquare!

 Somewhat more spicy and peppery in the snide vs its peers from other vintages.

 Berries, Rasberry, sweet, acidic, gentle spice vanilla, chocolate, lots of tobacco, a bit of tar, some oak. The finish is long with oak, tobacco and copper. This Foursquare with its bright acidic note really hits the spot for me.

 A gourmet and spicy Foursquare. Very well balanced. Always a good value.

 ... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.

 Charred oak and spices come through very strong.

 Times something different than its predecessors 2005, 2007 and 2008. like it very much. Very good Foursquare.

 Foursquare 2008 pips it by 1 point for me.
