N. Kröger Foursquare Wagemut x Cognac Expert
Sipped neat, this drinks light and easygoing: fruity Barbados with vanilla, a sweet touch, and a grape-like cognac note that shows after a few minutes in the glass. Members call it an ideal step-up for beginners who want something soft and lightly spiced. The catch several taster note is a thin, short finish and, at 43.6%, they wished for more punch behind it.

Schönes Stöffche. Für meinen Geschmack viel zu süß. Einsteiger werden ihn lieben, weil er nicht alkoholisch schmeckt. Das Cognacfinish ist für mich der Clou! Ein toller Wagemut! 17.02.23: immer wieder gut und schmeckt jedesmal besser.

12 year old Foursquare finished in Cognac and Pineau barrels. An exciting experiment! Very round and smooth. Ideal product for beginners who like slightly spicy yet sweet rums. However, there is a slight penalty for the relatively thin finish.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4109 A light easily drinkable Foursquare. Fruity with vanilla and a sweet touch to the palate. Well balanced in the profile but would have loved a higher ABV. The empty glass has nice sweet berries and a touch of cognac. Price to quality is very good.

Nose promising but aromatic unfortunately a bit spicy and thin...
Review by Michael Schillheim
Light, sweet, mild. Interesting finish, but unfortunately without depth. Ideal for beginners.
Review by Fuwi
Restsamplefund, Bewertung fehlte noch. Sehr leichter, unaufgeregter Foursquare der für Einsteiger ideal geeignet ist, um nicht direkt von der vollen Breitseite aus dem Hause Seale platt gemacht zu werden. Leichte Holzeinflüsse mit Vanillenoten, der Alkohol kommt ein wenig in den Vordergrund, wird aber durch Einflüsse des Cognacfinish gut in Schach gehalten. Alles in allem solide Abfüllung, wenn auch ein wenig Bums hinten raus schön gewesen wäre.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Very nice fruity, classic Barbados on the nose. After 10 minutes of airing, the cognac note is also clearly evident. However, the lush grape sweetness of the Pineau is more present. Less raisiny and more in the direction of ice wine. The cognac is then much more present on the palate. Much drier than I would have expected from a bold wine. Woody and pulling on the tongue, then a certain bitterness comes through. Good, but not as mature as I would have expected. Nice barrel combination, but could certainly be better.

Am Anfang recht alkoholisch in der Nase, etwas Trockenfrüchte, dezente Vanille und ein Hauch Pfeifentabak. Anfangs ist der Eindruck von trocken sehr vordergründig, dieser weicht aber schnell leicht süßen und fruchtigen Eindrücken. Ich glaube auch leichte Vanille im Hintergrund zu schmecken. Es ist in meinen Augen ein sehr schmackhafter Tropfen der geeignet ist wenn man schon etwas über den Einstieg hinaus ist.

Verrassend. Rum x Cognac x pineau de charente. Zoetje, toch flink wat rum. Cognac in de geur? In de smaak rum mix met Cognac.
