Les Frères de la Côte Foursquare Vieux Rhum - Brut de Fût 2011
Most tasters land in the same place: a textbook Foursquare that's very good but doesn't reinvent anything. Caramel, vanilla, bourbon and a distinct grape note run through it, with cocoa and wood on a long finish. Several call it "incredibly drinkable" for 65.1% — the alcohol is beautifully integrated. A couple find it a touch cloying.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Caramel-grape profile
- But: Not surprising

Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Classic Foursquare, well-integrated at cask strength Loved as a classic, well-made Foursquare — caramel, grape and cocoa with the heat tucked away. The honest note: it's reliable rather than surprising, and can read a little sweet.

... 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 Henry Davies
Classic foursquare from the start with a great nose of caramel, bourbon and some grape. It’s a solid independent bottling and as good as some of the ECS offerings. Incredibly drinkable and well integrated given the 65.1% ABV. Mouth is greedy with some vanilla, warm cooking spices and grape punch. Finish is cocoa and wood with coffee and some chocolate. All in all a top notch foursquare, not worthy of another bottle but enjoyed it
Review by Adrien B
Alcool parfaitement intégré. Gourmandise fine et folle. Mélasse, réglisse, cacao, épice chaude. Très très bon. Largement au niveau voir au dessus de la plupart des velier. Serait mieux noté en bouteille noire ! V2 boisé élégant, plus aromatique et le
Review by Filip Šikula
In aroma and taste classic barbados, I think even blindly could hit foursquare. In aroma, caramel, vanilla and grapes. In taste it starts out as a totally classic foursquare, but after a few moments the grapes come in. Long finish.
Review by Roman Lelek
Rukopis Foursquere je čitelný už od prvního doušku. Ve vůni cítím kůži, dřevo a nějaké ovoce - jako meruňky nebo švestky. Na to, že má přes 60% tak je to dobře zakomponované do celkové chuti…dřevo, sladkost a silný závěr díky %

Excellent Foursquare!
Review by Djehey
Profil très rond et intense. Sans grande surprise par rapport à ce qui est inscrit sur la bouteille : les marqueurs Foursquare et du raisin. Assez peu complexe, plutôt simple à apprécier avec un alcool très bien intégré malgré ses 65,1%. Bonne longueur en bouche. Je le trouve toutefois un peu écoeurant.
Review by zazar azer
An ECS-level Foursquare. It's very good and very greedy, but it doesn't do much more than classic Foursquare.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Sweeter, slightly less integrated alcohol. But it's not a bad FS

Seriously, all this foursquare are more or less the same, and this is an tremendous achievement. Rarely a fallout to below the 70 points. Bourbon cask leaves vanilla and spices, some coconut, and overall a bit boring but reliable profile, even with these ib's
