Wow - what a grenade. This extremely complex Foursquare perfectly combines an ingenious base product with the two barrel influences! From nose to palate, in addition to the typical Foursquare aromas, there are also light but very pleasant notes of sherry and whisky. You can also taste incense on the palate and finish, which certainly comes from the Mizunara cask - simply amazing! A slightly burnt undertone accompanies you from nose to finish, but this enhances the taste experience. For me a brilliant rum!
Auto-translatedSehr dunkel liegt er im Glas. In der Nase das bekannte Foursquare Profil, aber erweitert durch Aromen von Trockenfrüchten und schön komplex. Am Gaumen ein wirklich schöner Foursquare, sehr fassgetrieben, aber kaum holzig. Das Foursquare Profil wird ergänzt durch Trockenfrüchte und allerhand Gewürze. Im mittellangen Abgang klingt er schön aus, es kommt dann doch noch etwas Bitterkeit dazu. Wirklich ein sehr guter Foursquare, der sich hinter den Velier Abfüllungen nicht verstecken muss. Leider etwas teuer.
Auto-translatedVorab: Herzlichen Dank an Skyfly für das Überraschungssample! Jetzt zur Verkostung: Unglaublich betörende Nase, wirklich sehr, sehr einladend. So gut, dass es kaum steigerungsfähig scheint. Wenn man die perfekte Alkoholintegration dazunimmt, kann hier tatsächlich von einem Ausnahmerum im mittleren 90er Bereich gesprochen werden. Aber nun der Eindruck am Gaumen ... 🙄 Im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Bewertungen ist mir die Whisky-Anmutung (Finish?) eindeutig zu dominant. Der Rum schmeckt mir zwar erstaunlicherweise trotzdem ziemlich gut, aber wenn ich einen whiskylastigen Rum auswählen müsste, würde ich den eleganten NY von V&M (France Edition) (RX13824) bevorzugen, auch wenn ich den bei der ersten Verkostung überhaupt nicht gut fand (mittlerweile weiß ich ihn zu schätzen, muss mal bei Gelegenheit meine Bewertung anpassen). Summasummarum halte ich den Distilia für einen vor allem wegen der Nase noch sehr guten Rum, aber mehr als für den RX13824 würde ich für eine Flasche keinesfalls zahlen, eher weniger. Nachtrag: Je länger der Rum atmet, desto aufdringlicher wird die Peated-Whisky-Note - aber ausschließlich am Gaumen. Whisky frisst Rum.
Auto-translatedI was very excited about this '98 Foursquare - especially because of the Mizunara finish. This can also be felt with the typical ginger spiciness and the intense tannins, accompanied by a nice sherry sweetness and dried fruit aroma, but I can - unfortunately - also taste smoky whisky. After a little more detailed research in the small print, I find out as I suspected: the rum has been stored in ex peated Scotch (Bowmore) casks in the meantime, which unfortunately costs it some points for me, as I would have known this information genre beforehand. It only says Mizunara and PX Finish prominently on the front, this information could have been placed more prominently... All in all, a well-made rum with surprisingly well-integrated alcohol, but the whisky finish and its smoky-salty (ashtray) aroma is unfortunately quite a turn-off for me and not quite what I'm looking for in an old Foursquare. Without the finish, it would probably have scored higher. However, if I were to rate a rum with a successful peaty whisky finish, this would definitely be in my top 5! 😃 But that could have been written at the front of the bottle and not hidden in the small print at the back...
