Got this one today and I can only recommend it. A rare bottle though. Besides making a great rum the bottle itself is a piece of art. The back of the bottle has a beautiful unique piece of art.

Bleibt leider etwas hinter meinen Erwartungen, aber auch hinter den beiden parallel verkosteten jüngeren Veliers (Principia und Sassafras) zurück. Ein wirklich angenehmer, ziemlich typischer Foursquare, der für meine Begriffe aber etwas an Tiefgang vermissen lässt. Vielleicht gebe ich ihm noch mal eine zweite Chance. Übrigens: Die äußere Aufmachung der Flasche ist wirklich phänomenal und wertig!

Nicht ganz so rund, harmonisch und mild wie ich es gerne hätte. Nicht mein lieblings foursquare dennoch.

Geschmacklich absolute Foursquare DNA für mich. Ein wenig lieblich und es fehlt ein wenig Tiefe und ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Aber mir schmeckt der dennoch sehr gut. Gefährlich süffig.

J’aime bien les foursquare en général, c’est facile à boire, mais alors celui-là est nettement au dessus des autres. Un régal 😍 un vrais bonbon. Belle rondeur, super bien équilibré, complexe, et superbe longueur 👌 Une note de 90 bien méritée 😍

This my third sampling. I wanted to wait a little to let the bottle «breath» a little and six weeks seem to be sufficient. I appreciate this rum much more now than when it was freshly opened. Still nothing to write home about and a bit overpriced in my opinion.

Würzig, zimtig, vanillig mit tropischen (sauren) Früchten. Sehr rund mit der richtigen Menge Holz und Röstaromen. Ein Schwachpunkt findet sich vielleicht im Mund und Abgang, wo der Rum intensiver und komplexer sein könnte. Dennoch bekommt insgesamt ein guten bis sehr guten Rum.

Klassischer FS ohne Ecken und Kanten, aber auch ohne wirkliche Highlights. Auf Augenhöhe mit den ECS Releases.
