“On the palate, one notices its young age. The alcohol comes across quite biting here. But one recognizes typical Foursquare notes. On the palate then still quite biting. But I would have blindly estimated it significantly older than 2 years. With a few drops of water, the alcoholic note is still there on the nose, but on the palate the bottling becomes more balanced and develops more flavors. But the bottom line is that the release is too alcoholic and unbalanced for me.”

“Still relatively new and not classic Foursquare for me.”

“Très jeune Foursquare à la croisée des chemins entre l’alcool et l’acquisition de ses arômes typiques. Il est toutefois très timide au nez, le chêne, les fruits secs, les noix et quelques épices forment l’essentiel sur le plan olfactif. Il laisse paraître toutefois une touche alcoolique assez présente au premier abord. L’attaque en bouche est puissante. L’alcool se fait ressentir, piquant le palais et mordant la langue. Aiguisé comme une lame de rasoir, le rhum ne laisse transparaître que quelques notes sombres épicées, boisées et empyreumatiques. Il ne dévoile pas beaucoup et ne veut pas forcément en montrer plus après aération. La finale est courte et peu intéressante car tout aussi forte, rugueuse et fermée à la dégustation. Un rhum difficile d’approche à tous les niveaux. Supposant que l’idée initiale était de montrer qu’un rhum jeune pouvait avoir du caractère, c’est un fait, mais il y a clairement une erreur de casting ici, car le rhum est agressif et déséquilibré.”
