Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection XIII 2008 2008 12yr 60%
Foursquare's "Exceptional Cask Selection XIII 2008" is a distinguished rum from Barbados, distilled in 2008. This limited release is celebrated for its bold 60% ABV and 12 years of ex-Bourbon cask aging, which impart a rich, woody profile with layers of vanilla and spice. Users appreciate its complex nose of coconut, caramel, and raisin, married with a taste that balances woody and vanilla notes against a spicy backdrop. While praised for its depth and character, some find the alcohol presence overt. Nonetheless, it's recognized for maintaining Foursquare's signature quality, making it a worthy exploration for rum aficionados. Limited to just 27,000 bottles, its exclusivity adds to its appeal, reflected in strong user feedback on platforms like RumX.

“Smells really intense and delicious of fruit, caramel, vanilla and spices, although a little like solvent, which disappears after a while. Super round. This rum is heavy and strong on its own, but absolutely mild with a little water. Goes down like oil. Unfortunately, I don't get as much chocolate here, but lots of caramel/cream toffee, fruit and spices. The bourbon influence is there. Very round, tasty and complex rum, you can't complain much :-)”

“This rum is drier than the 2004, 2005 and 2007. Foursquare definitely delivers this time. A wonderful complex nose that you just want to return to over and over again. The palate is heavy, well balanced and dry with a touch of oak. The finish is long and a bit of smoke as well as fruits.”

“Foursquare in the usual quality and with the usual flavor profile. And that (still) at a fighting price. A bit weaker on the nose and less complex than its brothers with bourbon finish. In the mouth really cool. That's how rum should taste. OK, then there's the '96 Diamond...”
