Perola Foursquare Bellamy‘s Reserve Barbados Madeira Cask Finish (Slovakia Acan Premium Spirits) 2010
What catches people off guard is how dry this stays despite all the sherry and dried-fruit talk. It's a 12-year Foursquare with a short Madeira finish: figs, raisin and plum on the nose, then a dry, salty, peppery palate with wine notes and a bit of milk chocolate. Several tasters found the finish short and a touch hot. Interesting, not showstopping.

Review by Roman Lelek
My first Bellamy..in short not bad but frankly not awesome…just good.. The color- honey - yellow to light brown. The nose - dried fruits, oak and wood. The taste- dry and salty, then peppery tones, and wine tones. I also noticed the alcoholic tone, but later it disappeared. At first it reminded me some cheap rum like pyrat or pampero..finish is short, not complicated.. To sum it up - interesting, but there are better rums outside, cheers and next one, please!
Review by Enriko Špinler
I wanted to add a photo of this rum in a glass, but my friends came and the bottle fell extremely fast :) Very nice bottle + limited Slovak edition = I had to try it. Aroma - fruit, wood, caramel, wine Taste - cinnamon, wood, dried fruit, sour Finish - medium length, fruit, bitter My first Bellamy's, which did not disappoint me and I immediately ordered a tasting set to discover other rums from this brand.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Salty, fruity and spicy. Some dried figs and apricot and nut butter. Not necessarily my favorite foursquare and could have a little more alcohol for my taste, but the Madeira finish of 3 months fits really well here and at 75€ a bottle in Slovakia you can't complain either.
Review by Matej
My first Bellamy’s and first sample from advent calendar. Aroma is sweet (caramel) and little alcoholic. I noticed wine/dry scent with sherry and cocoa hint. There was also some wood, raisin and dried fruit (plums in my opinion) with burn scent. Taste is pretty dry, I noticed wine/sherry with lot of dried fruit (plums). I noticed some oak and salt (interesting) with combination of milk chocolate. Finish is not long enough, I noticed some coconut, druid fruit, oak amd bitter. Really nice and interesting sample, I like that they used Forsquare rum for this one, but to be honest I would like to see better price for the whole bottle.
