Distilia Foursquare Mizunara & PX Cask Finish (Silver Seal) 1998

Smoke and campfire on a Foursquare? That's the surprise here. This 25-year Bajan got a peated whisky cask turn on top of PX and Mizunara, so the familiar coconut-and-oak profile meets an "ashtray made from old sherry wood," dried apricot and incense. Most tasters find the balance thrilling; a real chunk feel the peat buries the Foursquare underneath.

Aggregated from 41 community reviews.

Smoky, peated Foursquare that splits the room Genuinely divisive. Fans call it the best Foursquare they've tasted, loving the smoke-meets-sherry twist. Others say the peated whisky note is too dominant and swallows the Foursquare DNA.

Wow - what a grenade. This extremely complex Foursquare perfectly combines an ingenious base product with the two barrel influences! From nose to palate, in addition to the typical Foursquare aromas, there are also light but very pleasant notes of sherry and whisky. You can also taste incense on the palate and finish, which certainly comes from the Mizunara cask - simply amazing! A slightly burnt undertone accompanies you from nose to finish, but this enhances the taste experience. For me a brilliant rum!

A bold and unconventional Foursquare, surprising and multi-layered. The base is solid and recognizable, but the dual maturation takes the profile into new territory: noble wood, dried fruit, and a slightly smoky, almost mushroom-like note, blended with an elegant sweetness likely coming from the PX. The smoky touch is present but not dominant—it’s actually the element that surprised me the most for its uniqueness. Spices, tannins, a hint of salinity, and a toasted undertone accompany the sip from start to finish. Probably not for everyone, but for those looking for a bold and well-crafted rum, this is a memorable experience. For me, absolutely top-tier.

#5864 15.10.2025 Enjoying a few samples after work while listening to the latest trance tracks. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light pineapple, light raisin, light coconut, faint caramel. Palate Oily, light wood, light smoke, peat, light citrus, fruits, spice, light caramel, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, faint smoke, peat, light citrus, light pineapple. Empty glass Smoke, peat, light floral, faint caramel. This is in my mind an example on how to kill a probvery good rum. The peat just kills the original flavours.

Wow, wat nen geiles Teil, auch wenn er mit Foursquare, meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach, nicht mehr allzuviel zu tun hat. Kokosnuss auch hier erkennbar, aber ansonsonsten recht holzig, wobei ich das Holz nicht wirklich zuordnen kann.

9:On the nose, peat, smoke, toasted wood notes with chocolate, burnt sugar, roasted nuts, leather, fruits with coconut, dried apricots, peaches, hints of sugar cane, complex, as barrel impact of sherry, mizunara finish is obvious, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, vanilla additionaly softens the angles of mizunara, as the rum becomes very balanced, syrupy, with a help of raisins, citrus and tropical fruits, slightly spicy, sweet. 9:On the palate, the attack is smoky, peated, whisky like, with mizunara barrel impact, the wood is roasted with cocoa, roasted nuts, caramel, leather, spicy with vanilla, frankincense, the fruits are dried like apricots, raisins, figs and prunes, the coconut is toasted, on oxidation some of the fruits become candied, as the molasses herbaceous. 8,9:The finish is long, dry and tannic, medicinal with hints of esters, glue, the oak is roasted, smoky, spicy, the molasses peated and the fruits less intense with coconut, pear, apricot..

Sehr dunkel liegt er im Glas. In der Nase das bekannte Foursquare Profil, aber erweitert durch Aromen von Trockenfrüchten und schön komplex. Am Gaumen ein wirklich schöner Foursquare, sehr fassgetrieben, aber kaum holzig. Das Foursquare Profil wird ergänzt durch Trockenfrüchte und allerhand Gewürze. Im mittellangen Abgang klingt er schön aus, es kommt dann doch noch etwas Bitterkeit dazu. Wirklich ein sehr guter Foursquare, der sich hinter den Velier Abfüllungen nicht verstecken muss. Leider etwas teuer.

Vorab: Herzlichen Dank an Skyfly für das Überraschungssample! Jetzt zur Verkostung: Unglaublich betörende Nase, wirklich sehr, sehr einladend. So gut, dass es kaum steigerungsfähig scheint. Wenn man die perfekte Alkoholintegration dazunimmt, kann hier tatsächlich von einem Ausnahmerum im mittleren 90er Bereich gesprochen werden. Aber nun der Eindruck am Gaumen ... 🙄 Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Bewertungen ist mir die Whisky-Anmutung (Finish?) eindeutig zu dominant. Der Rum schmeckt mir zwar erstaunlicherweise trotzdem ziemlich gut, aber wenn ich einen whiskylastigen Rum auswählen müsste, würde ich den eleganten NY von V&M (France Edition) (RX13824) bevorzugen, auch wenn ich den bei der ersten Verkostung überhaupt nicht gut fand (mittlerweile weiß ich ihn zu schätzen, muss mal bei Gelegenheit meine Bewertung anpassen). Summasummarum halte ich den Distilia für einen vor allem wegen der Nase noch sehr guten Rum, aber mehr als für den RX13824 würde ich für eine Flasche keinesfalls zahlen, eher weniger. Nachtrag: Je länger der Rum atmet, desto aufdringlicher wird die Peated-Whisky-Note - aber ausschließlich am Gaumen. Whisky frisst Rum.
