Swell de Spirits Foursquare Wonders of the World #7 2006
Toasted coconut leads here, wrapped in vanilla, caramel and toffee with chocolate and a warm woody spine underneath. Several tasters call it one of the best Foursquares they've had, with the 60.6% remarkably well tucked in. A few pick up dried apricot and a green chili edge; a couple find the roasted-cask note a bit too dominant. Gains with air and a drop of water.
The community says- Dominant toasted coconut
- Alcohol well integrated
- Finish can feel short

Aggregated from 56 community reviews.
Coconut-and-caramel Foursquare, cask strength done right A very well-liked single-cask Foursquare — coconut, caramel and chocolate with excellent alcohol integration for the strength. The only real gripe: some find the finish short or the roast too heavy.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Wow. Definitely in my top 5 best foursquare rums I've had so far. Incredibly drinkable, aromatic and complex. Unusual but awesome is especially this light green chili note that perfectly complements the otherwise typical caramelized coconut, banana chocolate note. I would have bought me in any case gladly! Since you can quickly times accidentally make the bottle empty in one evening😂🤤
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Simply a bomb. Hyper aromatic typical of the FS, subtle woodiness and a beautifully long finish. Superb. Sublime POS!
Review by Lot-NAS
A textbook Foursquare and really enjoyable in every aspect. Coconut, vanilla, caramelised sugar, pudding, oak, some toasted bread. This list is longer (see above). A real treat. The nose and palate are also really nice in balance, what you smell is what you taste and vice versa.
Review by Max-Cruz
A real delight!
Review by Benoit Mahe
The nose offers a magnificent greediness. The mouth is creamy, unctuous. We drink cookie dough but with enough power to avoid that it is sickening. The finish is perhaps a little short even if the impression of creaminess persists. An excellent foursquare which shows that the greediness can be opulent but controlled, powerful and without addition.
Review by John Coffey
Simply excellent! One of the best FS is hyper gourmand it embaune the mouth of caramel vanilla and bcp of coconut and a woody discreet but present... I highly recommend
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very tasty Foursquare on the olfactory level, which starts with tropical fruits galore, very nice notes of caramel and toffee, chocolate, wood and spices and toasted notes. The palate attacks more with spices at first, but the fruits take over after aeration, especially the tropical fruits. Notes of toffee, caramel, chocolate, cappuccino and leather also appear on the palate. The finish, rather long, is darker than the nose and mouth suggest, with the fruit taking a back seat and letting the roasted coffee, chocolate and spice notes linger on the palate. A very pleasant Foursquare, greedy, elegant and balanced.
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 Michal S
Very nice Foursquare, perfect aroma (coconut, caramel, wood) and delicate taste with toasted wood and spices.
Review by Jacques etdom
Beautiful foursquare. After a good aeration, the nose has the usual structure of coconut vanilla and solvents. The palate confirms the nose with a woody, caramelized side and a real impression of sweetness. It's round, smooth and easy to drink. Good length.
Review by Vincent D
So good! A soft, woody Foursquare nose. On the palate, the wood is present just as it should be, enveloping delicious coconut and caramel, complemented by sweet tropical fruit. It's damn good. And it gets better with each new tasting. The bottle will benefit from ageing. Edit: the bottle gains so much with time! 7 months after opening, I find a very, very chiselled woodiness that really serves as a backdrop to the rest and enhances a crazy delicacy. Edit 2: 6 months since I last dipped my lips in this Foursquare. And it's still as good as ever. This woodiness is an incredible backbone. Present throughout the tasting, it allows all the other aromas to express themselves. Excellent.

#4108 This is a very nice Foursquare. Well balanced and good ABV integration. Fruity yet fresh and warm on the palate with nice roasted wood notes and some chocolate. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up some caramel and smoky notes. Price to quality is very good.
Review by zabo
Zum großen Crosstasting der Velier Abfüllungen haben sich noch der Swell und der Barbados 2006 Flag Series mit dazu geschmuggelt. Leider war es bis jetzt noch nicht möglich ein Sample vom 70th. zu bekommen. Im allgemeinen ist zu sagen dass es im Blindflug keine großen Unterschiede an der Nase gab. Beim Geschmack selber sind jedoch Unterschiede erkennbar. Nach meiner Meinung fallen aber drei deutlich aus der Reihe und bilden mit Abstand das Schlusslicht.
Review by Mike H.
A very nice Foursquare, the coconut is very dominant but in a good way. In addition there’s wood, spices, caramel, chocolate and vanilla. I usually find the Foursquare profile interesting but never really feel that I need a bottle in my stash. I have to admit that I’m rather happy to have purchased a bottle of the Swell though.
Review by Barnagricole
Best foursquare I've tasted so far. It reminds me of shibboleth with a better integrated alcohol and a greater complexity in the aromas. Maybe just a little disappointed by the finish that I found rather short
Review by Basti
Very good FS with well integrated alcohol.

A great Foursquare By one of my fav IB Swell de Spirits
Review by alex
A great success once again for swell, which offers us an excellent foursquare 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. The typical markers are present and we enjoy ourselves as usual 🤩😍 Even better after 35/40 mins of aeration, nice taste slap 🤩
Review by Rare Akuma
Classic Foursquare profile immediately out of the gate. Lightly fruity with coconut chunks, dried apricot and oily orange peel. It smells very sweet of blonde toffee as well as harsher near burnt caramel. The nose is brutally spicy, opening with softer wafts of vanilla, quickly followed by aggressive mixed peppers and finally a hint of zingy juniper. The base note is malty with lots of chocolate and coffee creamer. On the palate very much alike. Opens up with coconut and prominent orange peel, making it quite oily. Minty, yet the freshness immediately succumbs under overwhelming caramel notes. An introduction of nutty praline. Active cask and intensely spicy into an easy finish constructed primarily of more coffee creamer. Finish is long and coating with confections, caramelised coconut, Italian coffee and vanilla icecream.
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase Kramell, Gewürze, Holz tropische Früchte und etwas Kokusnuss?! Im Mund dann mild würzig, warm komplex mit sehr gut eingebundenen Alkohol. Am Ende dunkle Schokolade und Holz. Abgang lang würzig mit toller dunkler Schokolade. Leckerer toller Foursquare super süffig und preislich aus meiner Sicht noch ok.
