    "Als CubaLibre sehr lecker, aber leider ist der Preis ein wenig zu hoch angesetzt. Edit: Zum großen Crosstasting der Velier Abfüllungen haben sich noch der Swell und der Barbados 2006 Flag Series mit dazu geschmuggelt. Leider war es bis jetzt noch nicht möglich ein Sample vom 70th. zu bekommen. Im allgemeinen ist zu sagen dass es im Blindflug keine großen Unterschiede an der Nase gab. Beim Geschmack selber sind jedoch Unterschiede erkennbar. Nach meiner Meinung fallen aber drei deutlich aus der Reihe und bilden mit Abstand das Schlusslicht dieser war es aber nicht. Erster Eindruck 8,7 Auführliche Verkostung folgt Edit: sehr toller Vertreter von Foursquare. Ein Crosstasting, natürlich blind, werde ich demnächst mit den Abfüllungen von Velier noch machen. Aber ich wage die Prognose, dass er sich mehr als gut gegen diese schlagen kann."

    "Of the 16 years of maturation, the master has spent 14 in tropical ex-bourbon casks...so very promising! The nose is full of coconut, butterscotch, cream pudding, oak barrel, slightly tart notes in the background (somewhere between hops and grapefruit). Allspice on the palate, toasted barrel, tannins, the high ABV comes across as a little sharp"

    "Insgesamt für mich eher enttäuschend. Die Nase verspricht noch einen schönen Vertreter des 2006er Jahrgangs mit viel gebackener Orange, Kokos und Piment.. Geschmacklich aber ziemlich scharfkantig und sehr trocken, fast schon bitter, verbrannt und überholzt. Die sonst intensiveren Bananen und Kokosnoten rücken hier eher in den Hintergrund. Schade!"
