Review by Julien Ries
Je trouve la bouteille comme sa boîte magnifique et transporte dans le temps. Il titre à 58%. Sa couleur est d'un or légèrement ambré. Le nez est typique de Foursquare, avec cette vanille qui nappe des effluves très fruitées de fruits exotiques. Un fond de poudre de coco et de toffee tapissent langoureusement les narines dans des accents plus pâtissiers. Quelques fruits à coques font leur apparition en second nez : noix de pécan, fèves de tonka. Il y a aussi du miel et un peu de chocolat au lait. Un délice ! Je n'avais pas toutes ces fragrances à la première dégustation et je me dis que ce rhum a besoin d'une bonne aération pour s'exprimer pleinement. En bouche, l'alcool est très bien intégré, et on est tout de suite plongé dans un épisode de Black Sails. La douceur des fruits exotiques, envahissent le palais avec la gourmandise de toffee au caramel. Des épices plus vives prennent le pas derrière avec de la cardamome, des clous de girofle, et du pain d'épices. Tout du long, on retrouve l'onctuosité de la coco mais c'est léger comparé à d'autres Foursquares. Un boisé distingué apparaît en deuxième bouche. La finale est longue et agréable, sur les fruits secs (raisin), les épices (cannelle, vanille), et des bâtons de réglisse sirupeuse.
Review by David Graf
Very pleasant Foursquare, which clearly stands up to its "brother" from Distilia's Floral Rum Series. Dried fruit and wood complement each other perfectly. Alcohol is well integrated, but can still be felt strongly in the finish.
Review by Basti
Wie auch beim Dwarf Poinciana findet man hier das klassische Foursquare Profil, wobei das Profil hier schon fast etwas mehr Richtung NY94 driftet. Gefällt mir in Summe sehr gut, aber hebt sich nicht genug von der Masse ab um zwingend eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen zu müssen.
Review by Dodo3000
My first from the golden Piracy series. A beautiful FS, lots of dark fruit, a light aroma of long standing banana puree and nice spices, leather round off the whole thing and you have a nice but only hint of coconut throughout. The alcohol is well integrated and the finish (sweet) is very long. I like it! I'd love more!
Review by Enriko Špinler
If you want to take a break from technical and ester-heavy rums, this is exactly what you should try. After a long time, I needed something “sweeter,” and I found it here. The aroma and taste are fruity and sweet, with subtle wood in the background, and the finish is warm and medium-long.

Cracked open the next 3 from the batch I got from my wife. This is a really nice and warming Foursquare. Fruity with spices and nice wood. Price to quality is OK at release but they popped up ppm auction pretty fast.
Review by Oliver
Very nice Foursquare. It lacks a bit of rough edges for a top rating.

Coconut, coconut, coconut. Foursquare aggravates me little
