Velier Foursquare Elliott Erwitt (Magnum) 2005
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?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
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.

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

Ročník 2005. S 7,0 z 10 jde o dobrý, i když ne výjimečný rum.
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
Guter Foursquare. Alkohol gut integriert, tropisch ausgereift. Nase mit viel Vanille, Kokos, Karamell und Nuss (auche etwas Mango). gaumen mit viel Eiche, Vanille, Gewürz, Röst- und Gewürznoten. Schmeckt gut … aber eben wie viele andere 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
Eine etwas andere Art eines Foursquares mit eher sauren Früchten an der Nase, auch mit Zartbitterschokolade, viel Holz und Nuss. Alles eher trockene, bittere Aromen. Sehr große Palette an Gewürzen. Insgesamt fehlt mir etwas die runde Ausgewogenheit (z.B. Karamell).
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
Ein sehr guter klassischer FS… mit gut eingebundenem Alkohol
Review by Leo Krüper
Excellent FS. Unfortunately, hardly any open bottles.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nez rond-pâtissier : goût de vanille, miel-cassonade et banane flambée. L’alcool est présent mais invite à la dégustation. L’attaque en bouche est franche et impressionnante. La mélasse est la, de la vanille, de la muscade et du boisé. La finale est agréable et longue mais moins surprenante que la 1ère bouche. Je m’attendais à un tirage plus bling bling que qualitatif, mais dans l’ensemble je trouve la série très cohérente et réussie. Malheureusement, un tirage trop limité pour être accessible au commun des mortels comme moi ! Heureusement que nous avions gagné cette série de sample lors d’une tombola afin de pouvoir découvrir cette lineup.
