Foursquare ECS VIII Premise 2008

Senzational

Doux et agréable en bouche

Deep, high intensity and somewhat dark, mature aroma. Caramel, vanilla, oak on the nose. Honeycomb aroma in the empty glass. Wonderful. Classic Barbados palate with oak, vanilla, also beeswax and some fruit. Overall very nice.

If you know the Foursquare Port Cask Finish, then this one is similar but more subtle in general. A nice complex rum with natural sweetness to it.

A bit simple. Alcohol well integrated.

incredibly fruity, perfectly balanced, hints of coconut, nuts, and woods. No wonder Foursquare is a top notch distillery with awesome and price-worthy products. Clearly it's a must have for any rum lover.

Velice prijemny vzorek, predni pozice u me mezi foursquary

Likely my first taste of Foursquares ECS edition, and I've been a fan since. Back then, it was a good price for the quality. It's very easy to drink. Sweetness to the nose, and notes of fruits, jam and subtle sherry

For me, this is one of the best sipping rums from Foursquare. Various other releases at cask strength have already shown that Foursquare harmonizes well with ex-sweet wine casks, and here is proof of this at reduced drinking strength.

A varnish blended with fruit on the nose, marzipan. Discretion and elegance, a fresh, pastry-like quality. A soft, balanced, woody and slightly diluted attack on the palate. A short but still elegant finish. Pineapple and monoi in the empty glass. A rum that's no competition beast, but one that knows how to seduce. I love it!

A solid, smoother rum from Foursquare that is permeated with vanilla and wood.

Very very tasty easy sipping foursquare. The 48% are ideally chosen. Nice combo of coconut, milk chocolate, grape jelly and some caramel with salt.

Floral, spicy, and oak driven. Bright and juicy. Gently on the palate, strong on the finish.

It’s a rum that builds. At first taste the relatively low ABV was a bit uninspiring but the longer I took with it the more I enjoyed it. The nose is delicate but refined, with a sweet vanilla, cooking spices and a cut of green apple. On the mouth it is surprisingly savoury, with green olives and brine mixed with chocolate and warm spices. The finish is soft and medium length with milk chocolate and nuts in front of a backbone of warming spice. It’s a rum which needs time to be appreciated but brings a lot of interesting notes to the party. More refined than the bourbon cask ECS bottlings and a good option if willing to take some time

Kombinace staření v sudu po portském a sherri rumu velmi prospěla. V chuti pořád klasický foursquare, ale sud po sherri mu dodáva sladkost, která jde s nižším abv pěkně dohromady. Jemné, komplexní s kratší závěrem.
