Exceptional Cask Selection XV Redoutable

Wonderful rum from the Foursquare distillery! Spicy, full-bodied and delicious. In the nose surprise floral notes, which I did not know from Foursquare so. From the profile it goes towards really good Tropical Guyana Column! Very good!

Yummy! Really good, would love to A-B test this one against the Plenipotenziario one day. Still good on it’s own and really glad that I have more of those precious drops. - Just as good on a Tuesday 😋 - And on a Monday too 🤪 - Long time sine last time, still really good. - 250812: Long time sine last time but… yummy as expected.

Madeira cask + Barbados = great pleasure. Chocolate, honey, caramel, wine, barrel, all kinds of fruit. Full of power. Very balanced, complex and very round. For me, one of the better/best Foursquare ECS I've had in my glass so far.

Yes, the end of the day and a real highlight. This Foursquare has vanilla, caramel, coconut and glue on the nose. Continues on the palate. Thanks Tim for the sample, very tasty.

Edit: I particularly like the interplay of the Bourbon and Madeira cask, which harmonizes very well and doesn't take over the dominance. Franconian Tasting Course One of the better ECS. Above the average of the other bottlings.

Guter Foursquare, der alles mitbringen was man von einem FS erwartet. An der Nase Kokosnuss, Gewürze, getrm Früchte, etwas Klebstoff und auch florale Anklänge. Das Madeira Fass iet für mich kaum bis gar nicht wahrnehmbar. Edit: Nun schon mehrfach im Glas gehabt. Braucht sehr lange bis er sich im Glas entwickelt. Gefällt mir mittlerweile nicht mehr ganz so gut wie anfangs. Nach wie vor ein guter FS, aber nicht ganz vorne mit dabei.

Typical profile we all know from Foursquare but the Madeira finish is not of my taste

Unfortunately a little sharp on the palate again, even after more than an hour of breathing in the glass. The Madeira influence remains rather restrained, the "big brother" Destino plays in a different league. Rather average for Foursquare.

Another masterstroke.

Faithful to its productions. Very tasty. A treat 😊😍 It's easy to taste, with great length... it's one of my favorites along with the Plenipo. Du coup c'est me 2 eme bouteille 😂😂 A sure bet

Fruit and dark chocolate alternate on the nose. But fruit and an indefinable floral note can also be detected. Powerfully spicy in the mouth, wood and dark chocolate. Great complexity and perfectly integrated alcohol. Unfortunately, the finish is only medium-long and beautifully dry with a slight peppery note. I like it very much!

A Foursquare that stands out a little. Not as fruity as I'm used to. Very spicy and slightly dry in taste. The finish is long and balanced. I like it, it doesn't taste like any other.

This "fearsome" Foursquare begins with an intense, lively nose reminiscent of Barbados in all its forms: coconut, banana, dried fruit, sweet spices, gourmet wood, caramel, brown sugar and a touch of glue stimulate the nostrils. It's no surprise, but the profile is round, powerful and well-crafted. The attack on the palate is more intense, with fruit, spices and wood. There's a heavy dose of the caramelized sweetness so characteristic of Foursquare, which gives this wine a very easy-drinking, but no less expressive profile. Notes of walnut, dark chocolate and leather add depth on the palate. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is long and warm, spicy and roasted, with hints of cask, nutmeg, vanilla, pepper, chili, toast and burnt sugar. Then come aromas of nougat, caramel, honey, dried fruit, banana and coconut, followed by chocolate. A lovely Foursquare that brilliantly combines roundness and intensity.

I just picked up this one with a trunk full of other rums yesterday and we just had to sample it in the evening. I have to admit that we had to sample it twice, just to make sure we weren't wrong :-) The nose is wonderful and fruity with vanilla and brown sugar. In the back there is notes of the barrel and some flowers. The palate is very complex and well balanced and continues the nose with fruits and chocolate. The i get oak and way back some polish or varnish. The finish is very long, warm and has roasted barrel and in the back some marzipan.

beautiful FS, unusual are the floral notes on the nose. On a par with the Shibbo.
