Foursquare Private Cask Selection (Vininova Poland)

Wood and spice hit first, dry and firm, before dates, cherry and green tropical fruit come through with a little coconut and vanilla underneath. Classic Foursquare from an ex-bourbon cask at a stiff 62% — several tasters say it needs water and time to really open. One reviewer found it too dry for their taste; most others found a "layer of sweetness" they enjoyed.

The community says
  • Dense wood and spice
  • Opens with water
  • Quite dry

Another very good Foursquare, one of the private cask series. Quite a big nose on it - woody, with fruits and spice. Very nice on the palate, like all of them! Spicy, vanilla, wood, and has a layer of sweetness that I am enjoying. A medium to long finish.

Very dense and compacted initially, but with time and dilution to approximately 50% it opens nicely. Smell and taste was changing gradually for more than 1 hour. In the beginning mostly vanilla, cherries and dark chocolate. Then more and more floral and green tropical fruit notes. Worth trying more than once.

Schöne runde Nase. Karamell, Vanille, vielleicht wirklich eine Dattel. Vollmundiger Geschmack. Das hlz ist sehr gut erkennbar. Geschmeidig, cremig. Wirklich ein schöner tropfen. Wie so oft von Foursquare.

Im Vergleich zwei Abfüllungen aus der Privat Cask Selection. Beide haben das gewohnt hohe typische Foursquare Profil, auf das man sich wie immer verlassen kann. Heben sich aber nicht von anderen PCS oder ECS Abfüllungen ab. Solide Abfüllungen wie gewohnt.

Very dry rum. While tasting, the very first thing that strikes Your taste buds is dryness. Plenty of wood and spices. Then the flavour changes diametrically and notes of dates and exotic fruits come into the game. Very interesting rum. However it is too dry for my preferences. And lastly, in terms of Foursquare standards, it could be better ;)
