How does this rum taste?
Fans of Foursquare praise Principia for its rich sherry influence, luxurious notes of dark chocolate and vanilla, and complex aroma of coconut and caramel. Many enjoy it as a bold cask strength sipper, often savoring it slowly to appreciate its intensity and evolving flavors. While some mention the alcohol can be punchy, this limited release stands out for those seeking a powerful, woody Barbadian experience with layered sweetness and spice.

Holy moly the claps neatly! But very horny and intense. Strong mocha, vanilla bean, raisin, discreet sherry and rum raisins, dark chocolate with fleur de sel and espresso beans and then again coconut and banana chips. Only the alcohol could be better integrated. Aromatically, however, it is really fun!
Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.
One of my favorite daily sippers.
The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to get 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.
