Distilia Foursquare The Last Cask - Bull, Artist (Yu Chuan) 2006

Another Foursquare, as expected and as usual at a very good level. Not a huge runaway to the top, but still a good selection, absolutely ok in terms of price, considering what is usually called for the ECS. Thanks to Alex_Kunath for the mega-split 🤝

Typical Foursquare profile, but not so much column flavor. Alcohol very well integrated! What more could you want?

8,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is typical Bajan with roasted wood notes like nuts, caramel, spices with cinnamon, vanilla, tropical fruits like coconut and bourbon ageing dried fruits like apricots, raisins.There is some glue, a molasses is vegetal. On aeration, the rum becomes peppery, smoky, the sugar burnt, as we notice some tobacco, orange peel. 8,6:On the palate, the is similar as on the nose, with typical Bajan markers.The rum is pleasantly syrupy, it quickly becomes dry, there is a delicious pastry.With resting, the molasses turns out more vegetal, earthy, musty and some tobacco. Some cardamom could be found later on.Well everything turns out round and balanced. 8,4:The finish is long, dry, tannic, spicy and roasted, as the fruits are still typical from bourbon ageing..

The odd thing about foursquare is how they manage to keep their profile even in the weirdest of bottlings from high to low. This is on the better side of all foursquare ever. Quite good but nothing surprising

A fairly unadulterated, honest Foursquare. I like the nose best, but it is also convincing on the palate. I find these slightly roasted nut flavors a solid addition to the well-known Foursquare markers. Great bottling

Great Foursquare that has everything it needs ... and it tastes good. More vanilla, oak, caramel, coconut and spices with nuts on the nose. On the palate there is also a lot of chocolate and dried fruit. Alcohol integration also fits.

Tasting Distilia Artist (Yu Chuan). Un nez très pâtissier avec de l’alcool, du massepain et beaucoup de douceur, de la vanille et du bois jeune. L’entrée de bouche est plutôt puissante mais avec de la douceur (pâtisseries) et un alcool bien intégré. La finale est moyennement longue, sur la douceur avec de la noix de coco, des pâtisseries et de la vanille. Un beau représentant de Foursquare.

A small, somewhat peppery prelude, quite tasty overall. Not a big difference to what Foursquare normally does, mostly caramel, vanilla, coconut and a little chocolate. Thats It. Finish a little alcoholic, but tasty.

C’est plutôt bon , Une petite entrée en bouche un peu poivrée, Assez gourmand dans l’ensemble Pas grande différence avec ce que fait Foursquare d’habitude, Ce que je trouve un peu regrettable. Cette distillerie ne prend pas beaucoup de risques pour faire des jus un peu différent

Das ist kein schlechter Rum. Andererseits bin ich nicht der große Foursquare Fan und das ist für mich mal wieder Foursquare Langeweile. Kokosnuss, Karamell, Schokolade, Vanille. Der Alkohol ist dafür aber gut eingebunden

A Foursquare nose like this is something really cool, round and delicious. It shows beautiful little oily droplets in the glass. The palate is characterized by woody, roasted aromas. Very dry, peppery mouthfeel, which continues on the finish. Great nose, on the palate it is too dry and too roasty for me.

Very nice typical Foursquare scent, but soft, mature, no alcohol, as sometimes happens. For how boring FS can already be for me, a great start. First taste sounds downright peppery. The next one is bearable, but the peppery sharpness is quite distracting. The body, for me, is unsuccessful. The finish is quite good.
