“The high age suits the rum well and brings thanks to the wood influence still a little more vanilla melt from the bourbon barrels. Also overall with recognizable proximity to American whiskies with fresh oak, present spice of pepper, cinnamon and cloves, concise toffee, dried fruit and subtle minerality. Very good Foursquare representative.”

“A Foursquare that has taken the time of aging to refine its aromas. The nose is very versatile, sometimes fruity (exotic fruits, dried fruits, coconut, a hint of red fruits) sometimes greedy (chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, nuts), spicy (vanilla, pepper), we feel a note of glue that grows as the rum opens. Leather, tobacco and menthol also come through. A solid and engaging nose. The attack in mouth is rather direct. The profile is greedy, oriented towards rather dark notes (roasted and toasted notes, mocha, chocolate, nuts, sweet spices with cinnamon and licorice) that accompany burnt sugar, caramel, coconut and dried fruits. The alcohol is well integrated and the whole is very round, soft and fine. The finish, a bit short in terms of length, is focused on spices, wood, dried fruits and tobacco. The dark chocolate settles in progressively and develops a greedy note that leaves a very pleasant final impression on the palate. It is not a revolutionary Foursquare, but the profile more woody and darker than usual has the merit to make the distillery go out of the beaten tracks and to propose something more complex and a little less one-dimensional. A very nice bottling.”

“This sample has been on a long trip. All the way from Barbados actually and I just couldn't wait because I was told its really good. Right off the bat, yes, a great rum and I do hope I can get a bottle. The nose is nice and well rounded with wood, minty chocolate and dried fruit trailed by vanilla, tobacco and leather. The palate is complex and well balanced with oak and dried fruit trailed by chocolate, vanilla, caramel and tobacco. The finish is long, intense and well balanced between wood, chocolate and dried fruit. Try to leave the empty glass for a while and whiff it again :-)”
