"One can directly recognize the Foursquare DNA. Compared to other bottlings, however, an uncanny complexity and depth awaits, reminiscent of tropically aged Demerara bottlings. On the palate, round, nutty-spicy, intense, multilayered with a great sweetness. Similar to the 2006 just a touch more complex. Best Foursquare so far. A real firework in the mouth - Love it!"
"The Foursquare benchmark - round, sweet, dangerously drinkable. Definitely needs some oxidation to fully develop; this bottling is also at its best after a few months in an open bottle. Exquisite."
"Edit: Got another blind tasting thanks to Jakob. From the fresh bottle that was opened especially for this, a real dream. The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series were also smuggled into the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to obtain a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear."
"Oh man, after completely turning my back on Barbados rum, am I becoming a FS disciple after all? 😳 This rum certainly has the potential to bring me back and convert me (which is not good for my wallet, of course). What a round, smooth drink!!! The master blender has done a great job. It goes without saying that Velier couldn't pass up such an almost perfect work. I could imagine that this rum would leave a rum newbie speechless and enraptured, even if they probably wouldn't given the price. But if you did, you would have found a new fan of high-end rums from zero to one hundred, because this rum should really win everyone over right from the start. For me, it only has one tiny flaw (apart from the price) that prevents it from being rated even higher: The rum is clearly too sweet towards the back and the finish is a little too short. However, this is more of a "nice place to live", I noticed it rather by chance when I reached for the wrong glass with a Diamond 2008 next to it for the last sip. But tasted on its own, the Destino really is incredibly TASTY! 😊"
