    • Classic Foursquare vanilla and coconut

    • Long, warming spicy finish

    Rich vanilla, toasted coconut, and warming spices lead the character of this Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection VI 2005, deepened by woody bourbon cask tones and caramel.

    "Really good vintage representative. Much influence bom ex-bourbon cask, which suits Foursquare well and results in abundant vanilla, chocolate, pepper, allspice and caramel notes. Very good representative of the archetypal Foursquare profile."

    "In the smell, the typical Foursquare forward tones of glue and solvent and banana. In the taste then a lot of flavor like a grilled banana. Suseer toffee and roasted aromas with banana nests. The 59 percent is a perfect match. Unfortunately, the prices for such a bottling are rising. But you should still try it"

    "Spontaneous comparison between the RX15990 and the RX50. They are different vintages, but as always with Foursquare, both bottlings are at a high level with the typical flavor markers. For me, however, the RX50 has the edge."
