Got this one today and I can only recommend it. A rare bottle though. Besides making a great rum the bottle itself is a piece of art. The back of the bottle has a beautiful unique piece of art.

J’aime bien les foursquare en général, c’est facile à boire, mais alors celui-là est nettement au dessus des autres. Un régal 😍 un vrais bonbon. Belle rondeur, super bien équilibré, complexe, et superbe longueur 👌 Une note de 90 bien méritée 😍

Schöner FS mit schweren, gefälligen Noten von Holz, Kokos, Gewürz und Tabak und Trockenfrüchte n.

Geschmacklich absolute Foursquare DNA für mich. Es fehlt ein wenig Tiefe und ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Allerdings perfekte geschmackliche Balance. Mir schmeckt er sehr gut. Gefährlich süffig.

Nur knapp hinter dem Wealth Solution 1998er. Eine unerwartete Klebstoffnote (UHU) in der Nase und im Abgang .

Kokosnuss, getrocknete Früchte und Gewürze an der Nase. Auch am Gaumen nichts wirklich Neues. Insgesamt ein klassisches FS-Profil ohne Ecken und Kanten, aber auch ohne wirkliche Highlights. Auf Augenhöhe mit den ECS Releases.

8.5/10

Valinch & Mallet nous propose ici un Foursquare généraux et riche, dont le nez se veut très rond, dominé par la gourmandise des arômes fruités (noix de coco, fruits tropicaux) et pâtissiers (toffee, caramel au beurre). Le côté boisé et épicé ressort avec élégance et offre une belle structure à un rhum qu’on peut qualifier d’assez typique de son terroir. L’attaque en bouche est très ronde, un peu vineuse (fût ?), fruitée sur les fruits secs et exotiques, relevée par les épices, le tabac et le boisé, avec une sensation de chaleur fondante sur le caramel. Un rhum très gouleyant avec un alcool très bien intégré. On retrouve en finale un rhum chaleureux et bordé par les épices, le caramel et le chocolat, avant de donner un peu plus de poids au bois et aux fruits. Un joli Foursquare qui, sans créer la surprise, se veut généreux, structuré et maîtrisé.
