Another very good Foursquare. This time a representative with dark fruits, wood and a good port wine influence. The alcohol is well integrated and the finish shows even more clearly than the palate in which this rum was stored.
Auto-translatedI’m having a bit of trouble unpacking this rum visiting it for the first time with a newly opened bottle. The expected caramel, vanilla, and red fruit notes that you would expect are there, but I’ll need to revisit it to go a level deeper. It lives up to the ECS expectation and is a very good rum.
Quite alcoholic compared to the other FSQs in the range. The typical markers are present from nose to finish. More spices and stronger alcohol in this bottling. Port wine influence slightly noticeable
Auto-translatedAlcohol and column are already quite present. But overall, high quality. Port finish fits well!
