Habitation Velier Foursquare LFT White 2021 Unaged 62%

"This is a retasting and I stick to my initial score 😊 ----- Velier really knows how to pick them. A well balanced white with fruit and light spices and a lovely floral note. Well rounded and dry on the palate and there is a very light minty note in the profile. The empty glass is really nice."

"Very interesting white rum. Could also be a very good round Worthy Park. I hardly notice the high esters. The long fermentation makes me think more of Clairin. A mild, round, drinkable white rum for the %. I just don't see any possible use for this rum. Too expensive and unspectacular to drink straight. It lacks something special for mixing (and is far too expensive)."

"Day 6 RumX Rarities. An explosion of flavors on the nose: fruit, artichoke, wood wax, banana cake. The palate is fairly smooth, even if you can feel the watts. Dark vegetal aromas and very bitter chocolate beans. But also a clear floral edge. The finish is fairly short, but there's still a soft, almost sweet edge. The empty glass resembles this rum, with great complexity but little depth. For my taste, the aging is lacking."

"Ein ungelagerter der mir wirklich mal schmeckt, hätte ich jetzt nicht gedacht. Werde ihn nochmal als Mixer testen."

"My first thought was that this shouldn't be bottled. I think if Velier wasn't behind it, the cut here would be worse. Ester and Foursquare is really exciting. But not my cup of tea. If something like this was still stored with barrel ageing at Foursquare, I'd be thrilled. The ageing could take the beastliness out of the distillate."

"Surprisingly gentle on the nose with a floral, fruity note. A little glue is perceptible. But high ester? Rather no. The palate is dominated by herbal aromas and some citrus fruits. The finish also lingers with herbal aromas. This is a different kind of Foursquare, good but not outstanding"

"Nachverkostung im Rahmen der RumX Rarities Experience… Ich finde das Experiment von Foursquare immer noch interessant und lecker. Diesmal fand ich die Klebstoffnote viel deutlicher."

"Rarely experienced such an incomprehensible confusion when tasting. Nose first full broadside artificial vanilla aroma of Dr. Oetker, taste then iodine, herbs, medicine, olive, very Vegetabil. Unfortunately, even in the daiquiri not my case. I would never guess foursquare! Will probably lie in the long fermentation😄"

"Ich stehen ja auf Foursquare, aber der weiße FS holt mich mal so gar nicht ab. Weder an der Nase noch am Gaumen weiß er zu überzeugen, im Gegenteil. Viel Pflanzliches an der Nase mit Klebstoff und floralen Noten, leicht nussig und modrig. Nicht wirklich meins. Am Gaumen stechend, floral, grün, modrig, medizinisch. Fällt mir schwer das Glas auszutrinken...."

"Probiert auf dem 12 GRF in Berlin: Ungelagerter Foursquare und dazu noch High-Ester, das ist spannend. Überraschend wenig Ester wahrnehmbar, erinnert etwas an einem Obstbrand. Sicher mal spannend in einem Daiquiri zu probieren."

"Not that long but very interesting tasting ! A little harsh at start but developing nice fruit aromas and menthol finish ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Olive, Canne à sucre, Colle, Herbe, Zeste de citron, Abricot En bouche : Agrumes, Citron vert, Fruits tropicaux, Fruits jaunes La finale plutot orientee vers : Mentholé, Canne à sucre, Zeste de citron"

"The first white rum that got me excited at first. A round, creamy aroma. After sipping it vibrates the tongue, but the alcohol integrated perfectly, the vollage is very pleasant. When you press your tongue it warms the whole palate and continues into the belly. This is a bottle you need to have."
