    Dry, complex Foursquare with sherry polish

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to 56% ABV or looking for very sweet, soft rums; collectors hunting the most unique or extreme Foursquare releases.

    Perfekcja w smaku i zapachu.

    Again a typical ECS, without fault. Very harmonious and with exactly the right sweetness.

    Auto-translated

    1st nose on a light solvent but which takes all the place, after 5 minutes of aeration the nose opens magnificently on the chocolate caramel, on a waxed wood background. Finally come the fruits of which the coconut and an impression of red fruits. In mouth, we attack on a little pepper and wood. As for the nose, then come the greedy notes of vanilla toffee with the dominant caramel. The coconut invites itself to the party as for the nose.the final is long more spicy, woody on the tobacco, the vanilla and the caramel.a top rum.
