How does this rum taste?
The Sample X Foursquare Distillery rum, a release by The Rum Mercenary & Kintra, is an enticing example of Barbados craftsmanship. Distilled in 2007 and aged for 13 years, this rum boasts a high ABV of 59.8%, combining both pot and column still techniques. With pronounced notes of coconut, vanilla, spice, and dried fruits, it promises a rich olfactory experience. On the palate, vanilla, coconut, caramel, and dark chocolate are complemented by a peppery edge. User reviews frequently highlight its typical Foursquare profile, accompanied by sought-after sweetness and spice. While it has impressed many with its accessible and enjoyable character, some find it lacks complexity and innovation, common in limited single cask releases.

I don't know if the 91 points are entirely correct, but I rate it just a little higher than the ECS 2008 (90 points) which I find a little more bitter than this one. Maybe I should take the 2008 back in and compare again from there....
Great Foursquare at the level of the standard ECS Vintage Range. Reasonable PLV with available purchase options, despite the single cask with 290 bottles.
Typischer Foursquare in gewohnter Qualität. Dieser ist eine Spur mehr auf Karamell und sehr würzig. Ein sehr guter Rum auf breit ausgetretenen Pfaden. Will man sich einen Fourquare mit gutem PLV sichern, liegt man hier richtig.
Au nez, c’est boisé (13 ans de vieillissement, ça se sent), avec de belles épices poivrées et de muscade fraichement râpée. On a également quelque chose de plus lourd, de résineux (colle, vernis). Mais on est quand même chez Foursquare, donc on retrouve la noix de coco, du chocolat, de la banane et de la vanille. C’est plutôt bien attractif et concentré comme nez, mais c’est un peu connu et reconnu chez Foursquare. En bouche, c’est très gourmand, c’est épicé, mais pas trop.
