Review by RumTaTa
The rum rolls around mouth to a powerful spicy wave. He brings a lot of barrel with what but harmonizes very well with the simultaneous pleasant sweetness. The finish is in relation to the aroma explosion in the mouth amazingly short and dry.a very nice rum that is at least equal to the ECS releases from the Foursquaredestillerie.
Review by DomM
Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively rough, sharp-edged and very dry for a sherry finish. Somehow not particularly harmonious and unusually salty. In the finish, salty pretzels with banana puree and raisins are added, which gives it a few more plus points. Nevertheless, I am not completely convinced.
Review by Jakob
I really like the sherry influence on the Foursquare profile, especially with some time in the glass this release becomes one of my preferred Foursquare sipping rums. Very enjoyable.
Review by LukaŽiga
9:On the nose, the first impression we get is very pleasant, almost gentle, as it very balanced and round with sweet spices like cinammon, very roasted, charred wood with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, vanilla, caramel and marzipan. Our nostrils are excited with very buttery feeling. After we air the rum a bit, there are creamy, sherried dried fruits, the molasses is dark and vegetal with coffee, leather, as there also some ripe peaches come out... 9:On the palate, the attack is balanced, delicious with charred, very roasted wood and bourbon yellow fruits. The rum is extremely creamy, but also quite dry, the fruits are caramelized, there are butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate and nuts, as the molasses is thick and dark with herbal nuances.After some rest, the wood becomes resinous, toasted, more spicy with sweet spices, sherry ageing is more evident with creamy, sweet dried fruits. There are some coffee and leather . 9:The finish is very long, creamy and delicious, as the notes from the palate linger on, just the molasses is a bit more bitter.. Top!🤩😋 Edit:15.6.25,👌
Review by Serge
Of the Velier Foursquare releases I've tried so far, this is the weakest. Update: I've now tried a sample from a fresher bottle again (thanks to Zabo) and have to admit that it tastes much better. I have corrected upwards again.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
What a lovely and well balanced rum. The ABV is so well integrated that you barely fell it. Fruity but a definite Foursquare and I really like the light smoky touch it has. The finish is medium to long and there's natural sweetness all the way. The day after the glass has a nose from heaven.
Review by Timo Groeger
Pub Alte Post Witten February 2025. Let's start with a bomb. Here we have a great nose, vanilla, dark chocolate and wood are recognizable. On the palate we have caramel, dark chocolate, wood and spice.
Review by zabo
The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to get a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear.
Review by Basti
You can clearly smell the sherry cask, but also the FS-typical coconut, spices and wood. The taste is then quite intense after sherry with a decent sweetness, but not particularly complex. Alcohol well integrated. Overall, a palatable Foursquare with a dominant sherry note.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Exciting tasting. And overall also very tasty, although for me not quite as tasty as viellicht the reputation of the Foursquare / Velier bottlings is. With the Triptych, the wood influence was much too dominant for me. Positive memories of children's chocolate came through. With the Patrimonio, associations on the nose of Indian korma and watermelon. But sharp and dry. Principa I found very awesome at first. Nice fruit components but still FS DNA. But on the finish, the alcohol is too biting. Sassafras pleases me well. Plenipotenzario stands out for me with complexity. Very cool. But the clear winner is Destino. Fruity, harmonious, complex and very tasty! From my memory also a tick better than the 2006. Whether he is worth the money that you have to take today to hand, however, I doubt.
Review by Godspeed
Rankings of 6 Velier Foursquare from cross-tasting (sans 2006 & Destinos) 1. Pleni [Excellent deep foursquare profile that sets itself apart from the pack with a delectable tobacco note and a long pleasant finish] 2. Patrimonio [I love it. The most clearly Sherry-marked of them all and it’s just an ideal complex sipper. The finish cuts out slightly too early to make it top boy] 3. Triptych [intense, flavorful, and very solid but the profile is a little too molasses syrupy for my taste] 4. Raconteur [very good but just lacks a little bit of personality compared to the ones above. The finish is also noticeably shorter compared to the top 3.] 5. Sassa [great jumping attack out the gate but the slightly astringent aftertaste drags it down] 6. Principia [too sharp, alcohol less well integrated, still a more than fine rum of course] Kudos to Leo Tomczak for samplers

Review by TheRhumhoe
A Foursquare with a particularly distinctive profile. The nose is very sweet, carried by fruity notes of red fruits and dried fruits, very sweet aromas of caramel, marzipan and pastry, followed by more intense aromas of spices, glue and varnish. The palate, on the other hand, has a much more powerful and warm profile, driven by spices, chili, more roasted aromas of coffee and dark chocolate and a more pronounced woodiness. The finish continues on the same warm, dry and spicy, dark and slightly roasted frame with a touch of salt and bitterness. A powerful rum that slightly lacks finesse compared to other Foursquare, with higher alcohol content.
Review by Tim
A nose to fall in love with. I have not yet had my fill of Barbados rums with wine finishes. Sherry finishes also have their charm, although I usually like port finishes even better. Convinces nevertheless on full line.
