    Overall a fantastic first release of a Foursquare by Velier, no wonder this collaboration continued. We were some friends teaming up at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm to celebrate Foursquare Appreciation Day. After our planned tasting of four different Foursquare ECS’s led by our friend the Swedish importer, Lars Renbjer, we went on with two Foursquare Velier releases. Secondly out was the 2006 the 1st rum in the collaboration between Luca Gargano of Velier and Richard Seale of Foursquare. It’s a blend of molasses based rum from Copper double retort pot still and Coffey column still distilled in 2006. It’s tropical aged for ten years of which three years were in ex-Bourbon barrels and the following seven in ex-Cognac barrels.

    Here really many compliments to foursquare!Intense and elegant throughout its tasting!It doesn't let you feel its gradation and has a beautiful harmony of flavors!

    Edit: The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately it has not yet been possible to get a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear. Franconian Tasting Gang goes Tiki For me, the BEST Foursquare I've had in a glass. A BIG THANK YOU to Jakob for giving me the rest of the "small" sample. I would just like to know if the Destino can top this bottling.

    Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.
