Best in a tasting glass, neat — at 61% it's built for slow sipping, not mixing. Vanilla, coconut and nutty marzipan on the nose with a flash of nail polish, then oak, spice and roasted notes take over. Several tasters call the alcohol beautifully integrated for the strength. A classic Foursquare — just, as a few note, not one that reinvents the house style.

How does Velier Foursquare Elliott Erwitt (Magnum) 2005 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Classic oaky Foursquare, well-integrated at cask strength People rate this highly and love the balance and long finish, but the recurring note is that it tastes like an excellent Foursquare rather than something new — quality over surprise.
Is it right for you?
Yes, if you're after bold, mature, oaky rums for sipping neat.

Very round Foursquare with classic flavor profile. Good alcohol integration, harmonious profile. Unfortunately lacks the unique selling point, although the quality is undeniably present.

Vintage 2005. With 7.0 out of 10 it is a good rum, though not exceptional.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I tried the regular bottles and these are the same level and the score might fluctuate a few points depending on the day. A very nice Foursquare with nice fruit, wood and spices on god balance and great ABV integration. The empty glass is also wonderful.
Review by Christoph
Coconut becomes nail polish and super nice woodiness out back.
Review by Joe95
One of the oldest Foursquare to date. Still on the same thread but with a lot of taste, a perfectly integrated alcohol and a never ending finish. I love it!
Review by Serge
Good Foursquare. Alcohol well integrated, tropical ripe. Nose with lots of vanilla, coconut, caramel and nuts (also some mango). Palate with lots of oak, vanilla, spice, roasted and spice notes. Tastes good... but just like many other Foursquares...
Review by mto75
good, round FS. The 2005 vintage is and remains one of the best FS. The recently tasted V
Review by Tim
A somewhat different kind of Foursquare with rather sour fruits on the nose, also with dark chocolate, lots of wood and nuts. All rather dry, bitter aromas. Very large palette of spices. Overall I miss a bit of the round balance (e.g. caramel).
Review by DosenZorn
Tasted as a 2cl sample. Very great nose, quite sweet but not sugared. Fruity, nail polish, nuts and marzipan. Like a delicious dessert. Quite an unusual, varied flavor for Foursquare for me so far, with quite a bit of oak. Fruit and solvent dominate at first, then spicy notes take over, followed by barrel. Then in the finish the nice fruit note from the beginning comes back. Great play of flavors, very great rum, top integrated alcohol.Edit: not HD but Foursquare of course.
Review by Thunderbird
A very good classic full strength... with well integrated alcohol.
Review by Leo Krüper
Excellent FS. Unfortunately, hardly any open bottles.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Round-pastry nose: taste of vanilla, honey-brown sugar and flambéed banana. The alcohol is present but invites tasting. The attack on the palate is frank and impressive. The molasses is there, vanilla, nutmeg and woodiness. The finish is pleasant and long but less surprising than the first mouthful. I expected a more flashy than qualitative release, but overall I find the series very coherent and successful. Unfortunately, a release too limited to be accessible to ordinary mortals like me! Luckily we won this series of samples in a raffle to be able to discover this lineup.
