Velier Foursquare Plenipotenziario

"An extremely tasty number that is dominated above all by the floral tones of rose and Thai flying mango, which then alternate with nutty and chocolaty aromas. Mega exciting, extremely palatable and a complexity like this is very rare with Foursquare. Absolutely outstanding for me! It has become one of my favorite sipping rums. I think this could really be my absolute favorite Foursquare!"

"Very nice Foursquare, which I blindly even put in the direction of very good Guyana Column Rum."

"Very nice Foursquare, classic, deep, fruity as you like. Quite hard at the opening of the bottle, perfect after a few months of opening the bottle. Coconut, a little varnish, tropical fruits on the nose which continues with an expressive mouth where licorice dominates.a very nice expression! Even better a little more oxidized."

"Great Foursquare from Velier. Both quality and flavor profile standard, so not really something new. Beautiful nose with coconut and wonderful wood, wonderful warm mouthfeel. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Ripe mango. In my opinion, aging in bourbon barrels suits Foursquare best."

"Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom."

"#16th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: coconut, fruity, woody, vanilla, alcoholic, spicy Mouth: coconut, orange peal, woody, spicy, cocoa Finish: long, oak, woody, toasted, roasted, sweet, coconut. Delicious I enjoyed this one a lot. Until today i’ve tried 3-4 different foursquares, but they doesn’t really blow my mind. This FS really changed my mind, it’s delicious and the alcohol is much better integrated, unfortunately the actual price tag is way too high. This is from Foursquare ca. 60% approx. 15 Years"

"The first Foursquare that convinced me. That was just over a year ago ... when, after Corona and the return of my sense of taste, I suddenly began to appreciate column profiles and blends made from them The rum is very, very good and brings interesting facets to the profile, which I found rather boring. Edit: Now back in the glass after a long time ... yes, it's delicious. I'll go up another point."

"RumX Advent 16.12.22 N: chocolate, dried fruit, slightly soapy, spiciness, vanilla, concentrated, barrel, molasses, pastry, syrup, subtly floral, coconut. M: consistent with the nose, more spice, allspice, mint, toasted. A: peach, dry, chocolate Very concentrated and complex flavor. I wavered between NY 94 and Albion. Then decided on Yarmouth. Unfortunately, off target. Chocolate/coconut profile steered me in a different direction. Delicious rum, smooth and full-bodied."

"Starker Foursquare. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen mal ohne Port-, Sherry- oder Cognac-Fass, das finde ich erstmal gut, echter Barbados quasi. Sehr geile Nase mit Kokosnuss, Schokolade, dazu Sauerkirsche und etwas Mandel. Am Gaumen dann deutlich herber, mit Kakao und Orangenschale, aber auch einer Spur Mango. Leider auch recht adstringent und fast scharf. Leider kennt man das von Foursquare auch öfter… Insgesamt aber ein schöner Foursquare, der mir gut gefällt und für mich zu den stärkeren Abfüllungen gehört!"

"The nose is super fruity and complex and not necessarily typical Foursquare for me. Reminds me a little of the El Dorado Diamond CBH RX5934. The taste is then rather less fruity, but more spicy with lots of wood, coconut and floral notes."

"The spiciness disappears after 30 min aeration. This gives it more honeyed notes. top."

"Taste is full of bourbon and oak, after develop and you cannidentify the minerals, chocolate and ending in long smoked aftertaste."

"Pretty good Foursquare, complex fireworks of caramel, tropical fruits, wood, cocoa and spices. I was not prepared for the sharpness in the mouth, but it goes better with the second sip or with a little water. Otherwise very bitter, furry and heavy in the mouth. In the mouth and aftertaste there is a component that I do not really like. But the nose is very tasty :-)"

"Fantastic Foursquare. There you should have once struck when it was still at halfway reasonable prices. A rum for every day."

"A very tasty Foursquare that opens with notes of varnish, followed by wood, spices, vanilla and caramel, then tropical fruit, citrus and dried fruit, and finally aromas of leather and brioche that add depth to this rum with a very varied nose. The rum is complex on the palate, intense and carried by tropical fruits, cocoa, toasted and spicy notes, tobacco, toffee and wood. The aromas intermingle and are very well integrated, as is the alcohol. The fairly long finish opens with earthier, fresher flavors, with a hint of saltiness before melting into toasty, spicy and chocolate notes. An excellent Foursquare must-try that's still affordable."
