Foursquare Rum Sponge NAS 15 (2005 & 2007)

Classic Foursquare profile with a great sweetness and pleasant creaminess. Coconut, honey and nice spice. The reduction is very well chosen and the alcohol very well integrated. Makes really fun. I like it very much!

Overall a very elegant and round rum. Got a sample of this rum from RumX. It’s a blend of two Foursquare barrels from 2005 respectively 2007 tropical aged for at least 11years whereafter it’s transported to Scotland and there blended and aged some more time.

Very nice and exciting FS. The blend of the two vintages is well done.

Very relaxed Foursquare and very relaxed to enjoy, round and balanced. I like rx14916 with its citrus fruits better.

Good foursquare. The profile is there, well balanced, not too marked by one or the other. It's really nice. Unfortunately, the French release price doesn't make this bottle very interesting to buy, given the price of good vintages or ECS at foursquare. It's a shame.

(Moved the rating here, initial feedback was at the wrong Sponge 🙈) Typical FS profile, close to most ECS releases. A bit fresher, lighter with the alcohol well integrated. Like it! //update: rated it down a bit in comparison with the 2009/2010. It is not bad, just a tad boring

A rum tasted online with Angus MacRaild.a slightly darker color than the other Foursquare (RX14916), a brighter nose, very fruity coconut wood and banana plus other tropical fruits and a little wood glue.on the palate the wood glue dominates, quickly replaced by coconut, banana and pineapple.the finish is long with a caramel edge and still a ton of fruit.a fine Foursquare with character.the empty glass is all sweetness and fruit.

Rum Sponge - RumX-live-Tasting, zweiter Rum des Abends. Nase: ist deutlich typischer für Barbados, als der Erste. Weiche, tropische Früchte, etwas Banane, viel Kokosnuss und viel Honig. Dahinter würzige Schärfe und eine teigige Textur, Brioche. Angenehm intensiv. 8,2 Gaumen: vollmundiger und komplexer als gedacht. Fruchtig-würzig, leicht speckig zu Beginn. Etwas salzig bevor ich Süßholz und Papaya erkenne. Eine säuerliche Spitze, vielleicht von Ananas. Hinten Honig und etwas Tabak mit Kräutern. 8,4 Insgesamt ein guter Vertreter aus Barbados.

This one had a little more soul to it, yet it was really well balanced and rounded. Nicely fruity with very good ABV and wood integration. The empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some chocolate and caramel.

Classic Foursquare profile, the high proportion of tropical storage brings in - after initially bulky adhesive notes - a lot of palatable sweetness of coconut, vanilla, toffee and subtle cocoa. The reduction has also worked well here, a very relaxed drinkable rum.

A rum with a relatively classic nose for a Foursquare, where coconut scents mingle with caramel, brown sugar, brioche and hints of cocoa, dried fruit, coffee and toasted notes. Spicy wood and glue round off a pleasant but unsurprising nose. The attack on the palate is pleasant and controlled. Exotic fruit, caramel, pastries and brioche combine with spice, coffee, cocoa and hazelnut to create a mouth-watering profile. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is of decent length, still on the gourmand side and the sweetness of the Bajan style. Fruits, cocoa, coffee, tobacco, wood, spices and caramel remain in the background. An approachable Foursquare for beginners, but perhaps deserving of a little more vivacity to set it apart.

Nice blend, perfect for easy sipping. This rum would be perfect for beginners as it’s round and soft. Light notes of coconut, spices, caramel , vanilla and cocoa.

Dieser geht gleich in die typische Foursquare Richtung ich sage nur Kokosnuss die hier gleich in die Nase gleitet. Abv macht das ganze hier sehr stimmig. Sehr runder foursquare der auch einiges an süsse mitbringt

Classic Foursquare profile, very round with coconut, vanilla, pastries. Reduction perfectly suits this rum and makes it very elegant. An easy sipper 😋👌

This is a much more typical Foursquare profile. I like the cocoa and coffee notes. Not overly complex or intense, but alcohol is perfectly integrated, a great relaxing sipper.
