“Wow. It is the greediness has the raw state! Well balanced, we are directly alpaguered by a huge pastry side (Crème brûler / Butterscotch / Cake / Vanilla / Chocolate / Brown sugar), it is very fat (Coconut / Walnut / Butter), we have some red fruits well sweetened this strolling in the mouth with their friends the dried fruits (Dried Apricots / Prunes).The woody is fine and greedy too and comes to structure this mouth with a touch of cooking and a slightly toasted side (Roasted coconut). A real cake this rum with power and a good grip in mouth, a killer!”

“Yummy 😋😋 This rum is really really good. So happy that I got a bottle of this one before getting too hard to get hold of. - Got a taste of Timpas bottle today and just have to bump it one point. - Just got to taste it against the Plenipotenziario and the Destino. It beats the Pleni, but not the Destino. So in total it’s the second best Fouraquare of all time for me.”

“Really fun to taste. It is milder than the 2007 and thus also more drinkable although the 62% I can take larger sips than with the 2007. As with all ex bourbon aged Rume you notice the ex bourbon barrel. I love that.”

“Sitting here and writing the last of the 4 tastings we did yesterday I now know why I got tipsy. 4 very good Foursquare that you have to double check will work its magic. The nose has tropical fruits and vanilla to it and then some wonderful barrel. The palate is a bit less fruity than the nose but it is wonderfully complex and balanced with spices and chocolate. The roasted oak complements the overall experience. Swishing it in the glass it draws nice curtains. The finish is very long with nuts/fruits and roasted barrel.”

“Comparing with ECS 2008, less intense but finer. Besides the usual coconut vanilla carmel mix i get some salty roasted nuts and a nice barrel touch, reminds me a bit of Shibboleth, though haven't compared them side by side yet.”

“Les longues jambes fines nous préviennent du degré élevé de ce FS et heureusement car le nez nous dis tput le contraire. On part directement sur la gourmandise d'une pâtisserie au notes chocolatées, café, caramel, tout ça bien épicé. Les fruits tropicaux viennent ensuite avec la traditionnelle coco de cette mauson😋après quelques minutes l'amande, l'orange et l'encens viennent s'ajouter et on a envie que cela dure des heures❤️ En bouche, les 62 degrés sont bien là. D'abord vient le caramel et surtout des épices agréables et le torréfié(café?). Un léger boisé reste toujours en fond. Puis la gourmandise revient avec pêle-mêle la coco, l'ananas, la banane la vanille et un certain côté crémeux. La finale est longue sur les épices (muscade,piment) et les fruits tropicaux caramélisés. J'adore!🔥”

“un nez assez classique pour ma part, plutôt sucré. une fois en bouche, la première sensation c'est le gras, la douceur sur la langue. l'alcool est parfaitement intégré. Un goût boisé/grillé difficile à identifier. Il pourrait presque apparaître comme sucré si vous manger un bon carré de chocolat bien noir (désolé ça peut être un sacrilège pour certain). la finale me semble courte. Un bon Rhum sans défaut, un Rhum plaisir, mais qui, pour moi est assez classique finalement.”
