Famille Ricci Foursquare Exception 2001
Aged-Foursquare fans and anyone chasing toasted coconut will feel at home here. Twenty years in cask gives raisin, vanilla and a real "grillée" coconut note one French taster nailed, with wood, a little chocolate and tropical fruit behind it. The 56.8% is well tucked in. A couple of tasters found it good but not the revelation others did.
- Toasted coconut
- Long finish
- Well-integrated ABV

How does Famille Ricci Foursquare Exception 2001 taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Toasted coconut and oak, long finish Most call it one of the better aged Foursquares — coconut, vanilla and oak in balance, long finish, alcohol well integrated. A few find it lovely but not quite the standout others claim.

Review by Jacques etdom
Un nez très en finesse sur la coco grillée et la vanille. La bouche est intense mais en gardant cette superbe finesse, un parfait équilibre entre le vanille la coco, le boisé et une petite touche de chocolat. Clairement le meilleur foursquare que j ai goûté, nous sommes dans l excellence.
Review by hugo148
Wouah… c’est tout ce que j’aime!! Un nez magnifique sur les fruits exotiques avec un léger vernis, une bouche juste boisée et agréable, l’alcool tres bien intégré et une finale qui dure et qui dure… j’adore !
Review by Double Barrel
An ultra-gourmand Foursquare. They must have slipped some Bounty into the keg!
Review by John Coffey
Foursquare ultra gourmand.. Excellent
Review by kargoles
A well-crafted, round rum. Complex notes of pineapple, coconut, light cocoa and hints of menthol. Round and greedy.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a lovely bottling and I got the nose as soon as I opened the sample. The fruit is there especially coconut that I love in the rums from Barbados followed by the wood and spices in near perfect harmony. The empty glass will release the most wonderful flavours after and hour or so and even the day after you still get some of the flavours. Price to quality is OK.
Review by Ayc
Comparable à certain l’esprit, bouteille un peu cher mais belle longueur, un côté fruité (mûre) en millieu de bouche assez rare sur le FS. J’aime beaucoup mais je n’achète pas la bouteille
Review by Djehey
Good, but doesn't seem exceptional. I prefer some Blackadders. Tasted quickly: to be tried again.
Review by Yves Remord
A similar nose and palate. The alcohol is well integrated and the woodiness is really noticeable.
