8.4/10

The first tasting unfortunately did not convince me as expected, the following ones a bit more. On paper a promising rum at a very good price, but unfortunately neither on the nose nor in the mouth really outstanding. Sherry and sweet syrup in the mouth, the high age from Barbados in bourbon cask is unfortunately not easy to find. Not the best Foursquare and definitely not at ECS level, but still pretty good for the price.

I was kind enough to get some of this from Christoph, thanks for that. I wouldn't have got myself a bottle, they should be nice for the N.K. fanbase 😉 Nose: the Foursquare profile comes across clearly, a little pungent at the beginning, but then quite soft with its spicy-woody and fruity aromas of banana and a hint of coconut. However, the one year of maturation in a small PX cask is also very clearly recognizable. A clear sherry influence with sweetish, slightly smoky aromas. Vanilla with cream caramel and sulphurized, dried apricot. Is alright. 8,0 Palate: the PX sherry dominates here. The small PX cask has given up a lot of its sweetness to the rum. In addition, the typical smoky PX aromas of dried, sulphurized apricot with raisins. Behind this is the solid base of a Foursquare, which presents itself with vanilla and caramel. Too much PX, otherwise ok. 7,6 Well-crafted, very accessible, especially for beginners. However, the PX cask equalizes and makes this rum somehow interchangeable.

8.1/10

Relatively easy drinking, and somewhat interesting but a tad disappointing. Nose presents a lighter, fruitier and fresher nose than most Foursquares. Milk chocolate, lighter wood, some alcohol and deep caramel. Finally settles into a toblerone/nougat notes with raisin On the palate the sweetness from the Sherry cask is immediately present. Fruitiness, a little heat, then some roasty, bitter wood before finishing up with chocolate, raisin and sherry. This is definitely not my fave but not terrible either.
