Review by Johannes
Amazingly good FS with tropical Demerara touches!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Very good Foursquare. 2005 seems to be my FS vintage. Brings both depth and complexity, but is approachable and extremely fun to drink.
Review by Jakob
Very round Foursquare with classic flavor profile. Good alcohol integration, harmonious profile. Unfortunately lacks the unique selling point, although the quality is undeniably present.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
100% foursquare pot a nice experience!Unlike blends fatter and oilier in the mouth but without losing the distinctive aromas that sets it apart!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Now this is a proper Foursquare, the price is still up there, but nonetheless a good rum. The nose is fruity and woody with spices, leather, chocolate and light herbal notes. The palate is complex and well balanced with wood, fruit, spices, licorice, caramel and light vegetal notes. The finish is long with wood, caramel, vanilla and orange.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very tasty Foursquare. We find the classic Barbados register, with notes of tropical fruits, coconut, caramel, wood and sweet spices, with notes of glue and herbs in complement. The palate is buttery, very pastry-like, with notes of crème brûlée, caramel and chocolate. Aromas of cherry and orange peel mingle with the spicy framework. The finish continues on the same framework with a great length. A complex, balanced, elegant, very tasty and very greedy Foursquare.
Review by Jakob Mmmmhhh
He is indeed very very horny! Super gentle but full body! Classic FS profile, in perfection. The best FS for me, even in direct comparison with 2008, Shibboleth and Velier 2006
Review by Filip Šikula
Hampden od elliota je jeden z mých velmi oblíbených a zřejmě to bude platit i u foursquare. Široké spektrum vůní od klasických karamelovo-dřevitých tónů přes ovoce po bylinky a kůži. Chuť je krásně kulatá, komplexní s tóny lékořice, karamelu, dřeva a pomerancě. Integrace alkoholu je dokonalá a závěr je dlouhý a okouzlující.
Review by Tafia Guildive
Definitiv einer der besseren bzw. besten Abfüllungen von Foursquare, eine tolle Mineralität zum typischen Foursquare-Profil. Für mich auf Augenhöhe mit dem Triptych, aber noch hinter Destino und 2006er.
Review by ilRummista
Bevuta gradevolissima. Gran equilibrio unito a una discreta complessità, come ormai Foursquare ci ha abituato.
