    How does this rum taste?

    The Read 12 Jahre Rum originates from Barbados, produced at Foursquare Distillery, and bottled by Rum Piraten. Distilled in 2010 from molasses with both pot and column stills, this limited release of just 235 bottles aged for 12 years. Packaged at cask strength with a 60.2% ABV, it reveals an aroma profile dominated by caramel, chocolate, and subtle spices. The flavor is strong and woody, complemented by spices and roasted vanilla. While celebrated for its value and unique character, some find it a bit unbalanced and harsh at times. Nevertheless, it offers a quintessential Foursquare experience for those who appreciate a bold, high-proof rum.

    Allein gemessen an Preis/Leistung gibt es hier einen klaren Daumen hoch von mir. Nicht viel anderes hätte ich von einer Foursquare Abfüllung erwartet. Der ein odere andere mag ihn evtl. nicht so hoch einordnen, aber für mich spielt bei meinen Bewertungen auch immer der Preis eine Rolle.

    Muss schon sagen, dieser Rum ist echt ne Hausnummer. Das PLV stimmt hier definitiv. Hat ne tolle, leicht süßliche Nase bestehend aus Karamell, Schokolade und Vanille. Das Holz kommt auch zum Vorschein. Am Gaumen ebenfalls leicht süßlich, aber echt im Rahmen. Super Rum.

    Sehr gutes PLV.

    Franchement a ce prix là on ne peut pas être déçu, mais c'est vrai que c'est le Foursquare le moins goutu et le plus déséquilibré que j'ai pu gouter. On a caramel/épices/vanille, mais avec une bonne dose d'alcool, et les fruits/tabac/chocolat sont un peu timides.
