Velier Foursquare Plenipotenziario 2007
Fruitier than most Foursquares, that's the first surprise here — mango and tropical fruit push past the usual coconut-vanilla-cocoa core. Twelve years in ex-bourbon at 60% gives toasted oak, toffee and a tobacco note several tasters loved. It runs dry and long, and a few find it a touch hot or oak-heavy. Water tames the coconut and the alcohol nicely.
The community says- Fruity and complex
- Long dry finish
- Can drink hot

How does Velier Foursquare Plenipotenziario 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 243 community reviews.
Complex, dry, fruit-forward cask-strength Foursquare A favorite for many, called the "benchmark" Foursquare by some. Fruitier and more complex than usual, though a few find it too oaky, dry, or hot at full strength.

Review by Mirco
Powerful and complex Foursquare with a distinctly fruity structure. Pineapple and tropical fruits meet vanilla, coconut, and a clear woody spice. On the palate, it shows a spicy creaminess with orange-like notes and milk chocolate. The aromas are well integrated, cleanly balanced despite cask strength, and have lasting depth. A classic among modern Foursquare bottlings.
Review by cigares
Très beau Foursquare, classique, profond, fruité à souhait. Assez dur à l’ouverture de la bouteille, parfait après quelques mois d’ouverture de la bouteille. Noix de coco, un petit vernis, fruits tropicaux au nez qui se prolonge avec une bouche expressive à souhait ou domine la réglisse. Une très belle expression ! Encore meilleur un peu plus oxydé. Dans la ligue des vainqueurs avec le Sassafras et l’Absolutio. Me réjouis de goûter le Fidelitas.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely delicious one, dominated mainly by the floral notes of rose and Thai flying mango, which then alternate with nutty and chocolatey aromas. Super exciting, extremely smooth, and just the right amount of complexity, which is very rare with Foursquare. Absolutely outstanding for me! One of my favorite sipping rums now. I think this could really be my absolute favorite Foursquare!
Review by Oliver
Sehr schöner Foursquare, den ich blind sogar Richtung sehr gutem Guyana Column Rum gesteckt habe.
Review by Joachim Guger
Toller Foursquare von Velier. Sowohl Qualität als auch Geschmacksprofil Standard, also nicht wirklich was Neues. Schöne Nase mit Kokos und wundervollem Holz, wunderbar warmes Mundgefühl. Alkohol perfekt integriert. Reife Mango. Meiner Meinung steht Foursquare die Reifung in Bourbon-Fässern am besten.
Review by Galli33
#16th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: coconut, fruity, woody, vanilla, alcoholic, spicy Mouth: coconut, orange peal, woody, spicy, cocoa Finish: long, oak, woody, toasted, roasted, sweet, coconut. Delicious I enjoyed this one a lot. Until today i’ve tried 3-4 different foursquares, but they doesn’t really blow my mind. This FS really changed my mind, it’s delicious and the alcohol is much better integrated, unfortunately the actual price tag is way too high. This is from Foursquare ca. 60% approx. 15 Years
Review by DomM
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.
Review by Basti
The nose is super fruity and complex and not necessarily typical Foursquare for me. Reminds me a little of the El Dorado Diamond CBH RX5934. The taste is less fruity and more spicy with lots of wood, coconut and floral notes. Edit: Still one of my FS favorites.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Starker Foursquare. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen mal ohne Port-, Sherry- oder Cognac-Fass, das finde ich erstmal gut, echter Barbados quasi. Sehr geile Nase mit Kokosnuss, Schokolade, dazu Sauerkirsche und etwas Mandel. Am Gaumen dann deutlich herber, mit Kakao und Orangenschale, aber auch einer Spur Mango. Leider auch recht adstringent und fast scharf. Leider kennt man das von Foursquare auch öfter… Insgesamt aber ein schöner Foursquare, der mir gut gefällt und für mich zu den stärkeren Abfüllungen gehört!
Review by Serge
The first Foursquare that convinced me. That was just over a year ago ... when, after Corona and the return of my sense of taste, I suddenly began to appreciate column profiles and blends made from them The rum is very, very good and brings interesting facets to the profile, which I found rather boring. Edit: Now back in the glass after a long time ... yes, it's delicious. I'll go up another point.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Advent 16.12.22 N: chocolate, dried fruit, slightly soapy, spiciness, vanilla, concentrated, barrel, molasses, pastry, syrup, subtly floral, coconut. M: consistent with the nose, more spice, allspice, mint, toasted. A: peach, dry, chocolate Very concentrated and complex flavor. I wavered between NY 94 and Albion. Then decided on Yarmouth. Unfortunately, off target. Chocolate/coconut profile steered me in a different direction. Delicious rum, smooth and full-bodied.
Review by Maxime Leclerc 🇨🇵
The spiciness disappears after 30 min aeration. This gives it more honeyed notes. top.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Taste is full of bourbon and oak, after develop and you cannidentify the minerals, chocolate and ending in long smoked aftertaste.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very tasty Foursquare that opens with notes of varnish, followed by wood, spices, vanilla and caramel, then tropical fruit, citrus and dried fruit, and finally aromas of leather and brioche that add depth to this rum with a very varied nose. The rum is complex on the palate, intense and carried by tropical fruits, cocoa, toasted and spicy notes, tobacco, toffee and wood. The aromas intermingle and are very well integrated, as is the alcohol. The fairly long finish opens with earthier, fresher flavors, with a hint of saltiness before melting into toasty, spicy and chocolate notes. An excellent Foursquare must-try that's still affordable.
Review by Tim
Pretty good Foursquare, complex fireworks of caramel, tropical fruits, wood, cocoa and spices. I was not prepared for the sharpness in the mouth, but it goes better with the second sip or with a little water. Otherwise very bitter, furry and heavy in the mouth. In the mouth and aftertaste there is a component that I do not really like. But the nose is very tasty :-)
Review by Benoit Mahe
A great Foursquare. Gourmet but not excessive.

... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
Review by Mentalo
Als nicht sonderlich großer Foursquare Fan hat mir der Plenipotenziario neben der Absolutio Abfüllung bislang am besten aus der Velier Reihe gefallen. Und hier alles ganz ohne Port oder Cognac Fasslagerung. Kokosnuss, Orange, Gewürze, Schokolade, schöne Holznote, röstig. Angenehme Süße und bringt durchaus Komplexität mit.
