“Very nice sipping foursquare. The zinfandel red wine barrel brings nice notes of red fruits, cinnamon and tannins and harmonizes very well. Yummy! Could only have a tad more steam...But probably the best what was foursquare rums so far in zinfandel casks gefinished!I like surprisingly well! It does not always have to be barrel strength ...”

“not particularly present on the nose, what comes next goes towards vanilla, caramel, cherry wood. On the palate similar notes, especially caramel. The finish is short. One can describe it benevolentlyas round, but ratherlicherweise for me a FS that does not leave a particularly lasting impression. Then rather at a more moderate price the Doorly's 14.”

“For a titration at 48% like Doorly's 14 years old but with 3 years less aging, this Foursquare Indelible does not offer a clear difference. On the nose as on the palate, we find the same notes of dried fruits, vanilla and spices. The Zinfandel adds notes of wine and prunes that give roundness, but it is not enough to provoke ecstasy. The finish is moderately long and fairly linear, falling short of expectations. While not bad, this rum could have been better with more aging and a higher alcohol content.”

“The 48% unfortunately seems somewhat tamed - what remains is a primarily spicy-smoky rum with hints of fresh and dried red fruits and the classic melange of oak, vanilla, caramel and light minerality. Not a bad rum, but in my opinion only conditionally convincing and just in view of the large amount of other, very comparable Foursquares simply no more than average.”

“Nice nose really reminding the Foursquare markers. In mouth it's not so good, it's bitter and we lose the greediness of the nose. Very short finish. Disappointment on this FS.”

“Light, shallow, summer. Hazelnut and sweetness. Not a great, complex hammer, but simple sipping rum. Whether this justifies the prices and especially the stress of sourcing.... I am unsure.”
