    "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."

    "Intense flavor for unparalleled pleasure. A rum of excellence. It stands out from a Foursquare 2010, not least because of its gourmet taste."

    "Another Barbados rum aged exclusively in bourbon barrels. I find the wood aromas somewhat more dominant than usual, but otherwise this is also a well-rounded and delicious top-class rum."
