    RumXmas 2022, #25, Bonus A & B: I poured the samples during Christmas dinner with family, so it wasn’t really the occasion for a lot of analysis up front. A is the original 8YO Foursquare and B is this one (extra 9 months in cognac cask). So far I’m not always a fan of cognac finishes because I often find it adds a sort of “harshness” to the rum, what I also find in this case. Both samples needed a lot of time to open up and even after a couple of hours the alcohol is stil present. It’s interesting to taste these two samples next to eachother. The A sample was more round to me and the B a little less sweet. After a lot of time some Foursquare notes were present, more detectable in A. I’m glad that the situation caused me to take a lot of time, it did justice to the rum.

    #25th B dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: spicy, roasted Mouth: spicy, roasted, mocha Finish: long, astringend, mocha, roasted, oak, cognac This is one of the few rums I personally don't like. The alcohol could be integrated better, but for a foursquare it’s such OK This is super hard… i think this is from Monymusk ca.60% approx. 15 Years

    Nachdem ich nun Batch#2 probiert habe, also back to the Roots und Batch#1 probieren. Die Bewertungen die ich schon vorher mal gelesen hatte, kann ich so nicht bestätigen. Vermutlich liegt es daran, das mein Sample das ich von Flo bekommen habe, aus einer Flasche ist, die schon länger geöffnet ist. Die typischen Foursquare Noten kann ich hier schon schmecken, genauso wie das Cognac Finish. Finde den Rum eher kräftig, der Alkohol ist zwar nicht perfekt eingebunden, aber denoch erträglich. Für den ersten Versuch, nochmals riesen Respekt an euch.
