Coconut and tropical fruits shine on both nose and palate, joined by nuanced chocolate, spice, and wood. A community favourite for its approachability, excellent integration, and satisfying sweetness; a quietly impressive limited Foursquare expression.

    Je trouve la bouteille comme sa boîte magnifique et transporte dans le temps. Il titre à 58%. Sa couleur est d'un or légèrement ambré. Le nez est typique de Foursquare, avec cette vanille qui nappe des effluves très fruitées de fruits exotiques. Un fond de poudre de coco et de toffee tapissent langoureusement les narines dans des accents plus pâtissiers. Quelques fruits à coques font leur apparition en second nez : noix de pécan, fèves de tonka. Il y a aussi du miel et un peu de chocolat au lait. Un délice ! Je n'avais pas toutes ces fragrances à la première dégustation et je me dis que ce rhum a besoin d'une bonne aération pour s'exprimer pleinement. En bouche, l'alcool est très bien intégré, et on est tout de suite plongé dans un épisode de Black Sails. La douceur des fruits exotiques, envahissent le palais avec la gourmandise de toffee au caramel. Des épices plus vives prennent le pas derrière avec de la cardamome, des clous de girofle, et du pain d'épices. Tout du long, on retrouve l'onctuosité de la coco mais c'est léger comparé à d'autres Foursquares. Un boisé distingué apparaît en deuxième bouche. La finale est longue et agréable, sur les fruits secs (raisin), les épices (cannelle, vanille), et des bâtons de réglisse sirupeuse.

    Very pleasant Foursquare, which clearly stands up to its "brother" from Distilia's Floral Rum Series. Dried fruit and wood complement each other perfectly. Alcohol is well integrated, but can still be felt strongly in the finish.

    Wie auch beim Dwarf Poinciana findet man hier das klassische Foursquare Profil, wobei das Profil hier schon fast etwas mehr Richtung NY94 driftet. Gefällt mir in Summe sehr gut, aber hebt sich nicht genug von der Masse ab um zwingend eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen zu müssen.

    My first from the golden Piracy series. A beautiful FS, lots of dark fruit, a light aroma of long standing banana puree and nice spices, leather round off the whole thing and you have a nice but only hint of coconut throughout. The alcohol is well integrated and the finish (sweet) is very long. I like it! I'd love more!
