Habitation Velier Foursquare Barbados

 The nose is a little too alcoholic, with pineapple, raisins, vegetal and pastry notes. On the palate, the alcohol attacks strongly, then the other aromas emerge: tropical fruit, menthol, licorice. Short finish, but this rum is only two years old, with a certain buttery sweetness. A rum that lacks complexity and, above all, depth.

 Blind was the rum for me an absolute failure. Alcohol poorly integrated, too young, unbalanced, missing notes. Can not really be bottled so.

 8,1:On the nose, a banana bumps into our nosetrils, then varnish, solvents, woody notes with vanilla, caramelized nuts. On aeration, dried fruits like raisins, figs arise, citrus with a lemon, the rum becomes more spicy. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is strong with roasted wood notes like nuts, spicy pepper, later baking spices, a bit smoky, as a molasses is honeyed.The fruits are dried with raisins, figs, there is some banana, citrus with a lemon peel, alcohol is not integrated very well, inspite that is tasty.We notice burnt sugar, perhaps caramelized. 8,2:The finish is dry and a bit smoky, spicy with a pinch of salt, the fruits are dried and citrus..

 Brother Ewww.... what is it. Surprisingly thin on the nose. On the palate like a sugar cane schnapps and in the finish even really strictly alcoholic. It's a bit strange that a cask is bottled so unfinished. Perhaps exciting for friends of unaged rums. For me rather .... nope... not necessarily.

 Nr.2 von Habitation Velier, hier ein ganz annehmbarer Foursquare. In der Nase vor allem Vanille und Karamell, aber ist ist auch recht alkoholisch, leicht nach Lösungsmitteln riechend. Am Gaumen dann kräftig und warm, etwas Honigbist erkennbar.

 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.

 This one carries a punch so a few drops of water will balance out the high proof. It is a rich rum with lots of flavour.

 Still relatively new and not classic Foursquare for me.

 The alcohol is not integrated well enough but this Foursquare in extreme mode is original and could have been very appealing with a little reduction.

 A very young Foursquare at the crossroads between alcohol and the acquisition of its typical aromas. On the nose, however, it is very shy, with oak, dried fruit, nuts and a few spices forming the main olfactory elements. It does, however, show a touch of alcohol at first sight. The attack on the palate is powerful. The alcohol makes itself felt, stinging the palate and biting the tongue. Razor-sharp, the rum reveals only a few dark, spicy, woody and empyreumatic notes. It doesn't reveal much, and doesn't necessarily want to after aeration. The finish is short and uninteresting, as it is equally strong, rough and closed to tasting. A difficult rum to approach on all levels. Assuming that the initial idea was to show that a young rum could have character, this is a fact, but there's clearly a casting error here, as the rum is aggressive and unbalanced.

 Tag 2 des Sample Deluxe Kalenders. Sehr nussiger Foursquare für das Alter finde ich ihn erstaunlich gut. Alkohol ist anständig eingebunden.

 The nose is very expressive, it's heavy in aroma ! No tongs, it's direct: vanilla, raisins, tropical fruits, olives ... all sweetened with marzipan! For a 2 years old, it's quite crazy as a nose. In the mouth, it is rum, real, intense. We feel that it is cruelly young, the alcohol is very present. It is mainly woody-chocolate. It is very creamy in the mouth. The finish is moderately long on the woodiness with a little disturbing final astringency. It's young, it's punchy, it's powerful, it's surprising ... it's nice to taste in a lineup.

 I like it a lot. It smells a bit like alcohol, but I like it when it sends the watts so I don't mind. Nice flavor, very good in the mouth and medium to long length.

 A rather young, light rum. Decent rum, but a rather bitter aftertaste. Could be given to the 64% ABV. In the nose I found some fruit and spicyness, and I got notes of tropical fruits, oak and hints of spices

 Powerful mouthfeel but very controlled especially given the titration at 64 degrees Woody and chocolate in the center of the tasting Successful for 2 years of age ... Reminds an agricultural ...
