Foursquare ECS II Port Cask Finish 2005

This rum is drinkable every day in every possible occasion. For the original price it was the rum you MUST buy. I was lucky to had one bottle and I will always remember it. 🥲

Könnte mehr Alkohol vertragen Nur durchschnittlicher Foursquare

This cask matured in port casks is slightly better than the first release and I would have liked an extra bottle for my shelf. The nose is typical Barbadian with fruits and vanilla topped with chocolate and oak. The palate is more complex compared to the first release and once rested full of flavours. Sweet, fruity and spices in a balanced mix followed by cocoa and oak. The finish is medium long and sweet/fruity with added vanilla and oak.

Well it is pleasant, but not overly exciting

Day 7 of the Samples de luxe calendar. A Caroni nose at first, but tropical fruits take over with dark chocolate. So good! A tropical garden on the palate, with even fruits like cherry. Very ripe fruit. And right next door a well-stocked patisserie, and the pastry chef didn't skimp on the vanilla. A rum with everything! Very balanced, but perhaps a little too diluted. The empty glass brings out the smokiness and red port that had been masked until then. I lowered the score a little after tasting the Plenipotenzario, the higher ABV making all the difference. Tasted again and confirmed my first impression.

Ve vůni klasický foursquare, tropické ovoce, vanilka a náznak čokolády. V chuti poměrně hodně ovoce, které rychle přechází do sladkých vanilkových cukrátek. V dnešní rostoucí ceně tomu chuťový zážitek neodpovídá, ale vemu-li v potaz ceny minulé tak moc dobré i přes nízké abv.

Angenehmer Daily-Sipper ohne viel Tiefgang PLV kann ich nicht beurteilen :D

Bought a bottle on the basis of a favorable whiskyfun review (paid around 30€). I remember being disappointed by the screw top (no cork) but pleasantly surprised by the rum. The 40% didnt feel watered doen or diluted. The port maturation made the rum quite sweet without being cloying. Should have bought additional bottles when I had the chance.

This is a fun rum that's very casky and delightful in flavour. Nosing Oak , soft apples , mangos Tasting Port wine , sherry and oak

Hodne velka dobrota, ikdyz ta chut uz je takova ohrana

War seinerzeit ein interessanter Einstieg in die Foursquare-Welt und zweifelsohne ein guter Rum. Vanille, Toffee, dazu etwas Frucht vom Portfass - sehr gefällig ohne Ecken und Kanten. Foursquare kann aber deutlich mehr, wenn mit höheren Prozenten abgefüllt wird - insofern heute wohl eher ein Sammelobjekt für FS-Liebhaber als ein qualitatives Ausrufezeichen der Exceptional Cask Series. Überzeugt aber als tadelloser Sipping-Rum.

A little bit 'meh' in the light of some of the more recent foursquare's but still a great rum, when it was released it was quite something! On the nose there's fruits and vanilla, same again on the palate with some oak and chocolate. The sweetness of the port cask finish is noticeable. Shortish finish. Definitly a collectors bottle these days!

Round, gourmand rum. Nice notes of pastry spices, vanilla, a little wood, beautiful yellow fruits, peaches. No surprises on the nose or palate, this is a typical Barbados rum.

Pleasanton but nothing exceptionel
