Foursquare Mystique Private Cask (The Whisky Exchange) 14yr 62%

"#4594 29.01.2024 Relaxing at home with this nice sample I received today. A rather intensive rum wich settles a bit with a few drops of water. This is a pretty different profile with a lot of punch. I like it a lot but I think this one will split the waters a bit. Rest for a long time or add a few drops of water. The tannins are close to taking the first row here ☺️ Nose Intense, balanced, wood, light roasted, berries, faint mint, light caramel, light sherry notes. Palate Lightly oily, balanced, complex, wood, medium roasted, tannins, fruity, light mint, faint caramel. Finish Warm, wood, light roasted, tannins, dried fruit. The empty glass has some light chocolate and light camphor notes. Will see if I can get my hands on a bottle."

"Im Vergleich traten heute sowohl die Foursquare Abfüllung von Wolgang Klotz an, sowie die PCS Abfüllung Mystique. Beide haben die typischen bekannten Foursquare Noten und wie zu erwarten sind beide auf hohem Niveau, wie gewohnt. Als Fazit gefällt mir der Mystique etwas besser."

"A very good Foursquare. Very drinkable despite its high ABV. Basically normal FS markers. The finish has more fruity, peachy notes which I like. Even slightly dirty flavors are there. Only the finish seems a little flat."

"Good and despite its 62% drinkable Foursquare. The sherry cask is perceptible, but not too dominant for me. Otherwise, the typical FS DNA with coconut, caramel and spices. I like it very much."

"Somewhat metallic, lacks a little depth. Quite alcoholic in the finish and lots of column."

"Great Foursquare, 2 cl are sipped away very quickly here. The risk of topping up is enormous. Typical Foursquare aromas are accompanied by intense roasted aromas and dark fruits. A slightly longer finish and a more intense "oily" mouthfeel would put this Foursquare in the top class for me."

"The pleasant aroma of red fruits and berries brings a very fresh note to the familiar Foursquare spectrum - I like it very much, it actually offers new flavor nuances that fit perfectly into the overall profile."

"For me, the winner today against the 2011 and the Covenant. Overall the most balanced. The influence of the oak barrel is noticeable here too, but it is much rounder than the Covenant. I quite like the sherry note."

"Die Nase wittert sofort die Foursquare-Herkunft. Könnte auch ein Doorlys 14y sein. Im Geschmack dann schön tief und komplex. Toffee, Haselnuss-Röstaromen, Vanille, Karamell. Alkohol wirklich gut eingebunden. Schöner langer Abgang. Die Vanille entlässt einen sanft in den Abend.Toller Rum!"

"For the first time in a long time a Foursquare that really convinces me. Typical Foursquare notes, supplemented by significantly more caramel, light roasted notes, tannins,... Nice thing. You could treat yourself to a bottle again."

"Wow, quite a board for a Foursquare! On the nose, light sherry and dark fruit, very strong impressions of wood and roasted elements. On the tongue it's really round, a very room-filling bouquet, you unconsciously want to puff out your cheeks. Comes with the typical FS notes, but also rather dirty and with a lot of bang, not as pleasing as one is used to with Seale's distillates. The finish is almost fruity, reminded me of an overripe nectarine, almost funky"

"This rum showcases the classic Foursquare style with elegance and intense richness. The nose opens with layers of nuts, tea, and fruity notes like apricot and plum, along with subtle hints of coffee and chocolate. The palate reveals dark chocolate, crème brûlée, and a touch of citrus balanced with creamy toffee, adding a pleasant sweetness. The finish is long and satisfying, with notes of orange, honey, and wood. An impressive and elegant rum that embodies Foursquare’s renowned quality."
