    Surprisingly fruity this Foursquare is hard to believe that it comes from there. I really like it. Exceptional bottling

    Probiert auf dem 12. GRF, Masterclass mit Colours of Rum: Überraschender Foursquare, der für mich sehr untypisch ist. Fruchtige Nase, fast vergoren und etwas Käse (?!?). Etwas anders als die bekannten Abfüllungen, aber ich finde ihn trotzdem oder gerade deswegen sehr spannend!

    Unusual but good FS, less on cocos but more fruity & slightly salty
