Adelphi Foursquare Selection 2007

"Fast wie Jaffa cakes" is how one taster nailed it — milk chocolate, coconut, caramel and a big hit of orange peel, that textbook Foursquare shape. It starts sharp-edged and needs 15 minutes plus a few drops of water to settle, then turns oily and rounded with dried fruit, vanilla and roasted oak. At 61% the alcohol hides well; nobody guessed it that high.

I find the Foursquare profile very good, but of course there is a risk that it becomes boring and that's why I try to restrain myself. Now I treated myself after a long time again a bottle.The profile very typical, no surprise. A few drops of water are necessary. Very balanced, alcohol well integrated and easy to drink. It also doesn't fall into the cheesy opulence of some sherry/port/etc. aged bottlings. Very good, only ECS 2004 and Plenipotenziario please me more.

In my opinion a beautiful Foursquare. Beautiful notes of caramel, milk chocolate and coconut on the nose. Dried fruit, caramel, vanilla and wood on the palate. Alcohol well integrated, wouldn't have guessed it at 61%. Thanks to Vienna.

Very nice and really extremely pleasing round 2007 Foursquare, great aromas of milk chocolate, coconut, caramel and above all orange peel and orange pulp. Very cool. Almost like Jaffa cakes or soft cakes only with extra orange!

#4288 07.10.2023 this was a 7 hour long event with 3 friends and it was a nice day. A really nice rum once rested for 15 minutes. Well rounded overall. Fruity with spice and roasted wood. The palate is oily and fresh with fruits and spices. The finish I'd medium to long and fruity. I picked up some chocolate in the empty glass.

Zunächst etwas scharfkantig an der Nase, was sich aber schnell legt. Dann Karamell, Kokosnuss, Milchschokolade, Trockenfrüchte. Am Gaumen Toffee und röstige Noten, die in Kaffee und Fass übergehen. Schönes ‚klassisches‘ FS-Profil. Besten Dank dafür nach Wien.

Erst einmal einen herzlichen Dank nach Wien für das Sample. Bin ein wenig hin und her gerissen, da er anfangs schon sehr scharfkantig ist. Die typischen Foursquare Marker sind sehr klar erkennbar. Nach längerer Zeit im Glas entwickelt er sich zu einer soliden Foursquare Abfüllung und wird Zahnersatz. Nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht wirklich ü erzeugend für mich. Als Mixer eher geeignet.
