Famille Ricci Foursquare Exception 2001
Anyone who already loves Foursquare and wants the richest, most indulgent version of it will grin here. Toasted coconut and vanilla lead, with dry oak, a little dark chocolate and ripe tropical fruit behind — one taster reckoned they slipped "a few Bounty bars" in the cask. At 56.8% the alcohol sits well integrated, and the finish just keeps going.

How does Famille Ricci Foursquare Exception 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Rich, coconut-vanilla Foursquare at cask strength The consensus calls it the most gourmand Foursquare they've tasted — rich, balanced, long. A couple of tasters found it good but not the peak, and the oak runs strong.

Review by Jacques etdom
Un nez très en finesse sur la coco grillée et la vanille. La bouche est intense mais en gardant cette superbe finesse, un parfait équilibre entre le vanille la coco, le boisé et une petite touche de chocolat. Clairement le meilleur foursquare que j ai goûté, nous sommes dans l excellence.
Review by hugo148
Wouah… c’est tout ce que j’aime!! Un nez magnifique sur les fruits exotiques avec un léger vernis, une bouche juste boisée et agréable, l’alcool tres bien intégré et une finale qui dure et qui dure… j’adore !
Review by Double Barrel
An ultra-gourmand Foursquare. They must have slipped some Bounty into the keg!
Review by John Coffey
Foursquare ultra gourmand.. Excellent
Review by kargoles
A well-crafted, round rum. Complex notes of pineapple, coconut, light cocoa and hints of menthol. Round and greedy.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a lovely bottling and I got the nose as soon as I opened the sample. The fruit is there especially coconut that I love in the rums from Barbados followed by the wood and spices in near perfect harmony. The empty glass will release the most wonderful flavours after and hour or so and even the day after you still get some of the flavours. Price to quality is OK.
Review by Ayc
Comparable à certain l’esprit, bouteille un peu cher mais belle longueur, un côté fruité (mûre) en millieu de bouche assez rare sur le FS. J’aime beaucoup mais je n’achète pas la bouteille
Review by Djehey
Good, but doesn't seem exceptional. I prefer some Blackadders. Tasted quickly: to be tried again.
Review by Yves Remord
A similar nose and palate. The alcohol is well integrated and the woodiness is really noticeable.
