    How does this rum taste?

    Relaxed, coconut‑vanilla Foursquare
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy soft, sweet-leaning Foursquare like Doorly’s 12 or ECS at lower strength, this is a smoother, older take that trades power for elegance and easy drinking.

    Not really suitable for

    High-ABV hunters and complexity seekers who find 40% rums too thin, or Foursquare fans looking for the distillery’s full, punchy character.

    Aroma

    Toffee Vanilla Coconut Chocolate

    RumX Rarities jour 2. Un nez de la Barbade avec des fruits tropicaux, coco, mais aussi des fruits jaunes, poire et pomme. Un léger vernis. La bouche est douce, les arômes se développent harmonieusement, beaucoup de fruits et le bois est discret, tout comme l’alcool (mais ce rhum n’a que 40%). La finale n’est pas très longue, harmonieuse comme l’ensemble de ce rhum très agréable. Le verre vide est plus sur le bois et une amertume qui donne du relief aux fruits.

    Auf dieses „Foursquare-Urgestein“ war ich schon sehr gespannt. Bereits 2008 abgefüllt und reines Column Still Destillat. Tolle Foursquare-DNA in der Nase - obwohl hier kein Pot Still Anteil mit dabei ist. Viel Kokosnuss, Vanille, Marshmallows und etwas Zitrusfrüchte. Schöner Holzeinfluss. Die Verdünnung macht ihn sehr elegant und einladend. Am Gaumen cremig, rund und sehr süß (ohne künstlich zu wirken). Durch die Verdünnung fehlt dem Rum etwas der Wumms. Aber für einen entspannten Abend genau das Richtige! 😙🥃

    Lecker, wenn auch etwas „verdünnt“ am Gaumen.

    Elegant and surprisingly intensive nose given the low ABV. Unfortunately, this is much more noticeable on the palate. Very pleasant and elegant on the palate yet again. This one is a nice example of an excellent column Rum.
