How does this rum taste?
World-class, coconut-chocolate Foursquare benchmark
If you enjoy Foursquare ECS or Velier Demeraras, Destino gives you that same dry power and complexity, just with more coconut, chocolate and Madeira depth at serious cask strength.
Those sensitive to high ABV, looking for cheap bottles, or expecting light, simple, sweetened rums rather than a dry, concentrated sipper.

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!
Auto-translatedThe 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.
Auto-translatedFor me, the best bottling from Foursquare next to the Destino drop! This rum convinces compared to the other FS with an enormous complexity! Nutty, fruity, spicy and incredibly balanced!
Auto-translatedEdit: 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.
