    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.
