Distilia Foursquare Mizunara & PX Cask Finish (Silver Seal) 1998

Smoke and campfire are the last thing you expect from a Foursquare — that's the whole point here. The familiar Bajan backbone (coconut, vanilla, dried fruit) is still there, but the peated Scotch cask lays ashtray, tobacco and a medicinal edge over it, while the PX rounds it out with raisin and sherry sweetness. At 52.5% the alcohol sits well integrated. One taster called it "heaven and hell combined" — bold, evolving, and clearly not the usual FSQ.

A bold and unconventional Foursquare, surprising and multi-layered. The base is solid and recognizable, but the dual maturation takes the profile into new territory: noble wood, dried fruit, and a slightly smoky, almost mushroom-like note, blended with an elegant sweetness likely coming from the PX. The smoky touch is present but not dominant—it’s actually the element that surprised me the most for its uniqueness. Spices, tannins, a hint of salinity, and a toasted undertone accompany the sip from start to finish. Probably not for everyone, but for those looking for a bold and well-crafted rum, this is a memorable experience. For me, absolutely top-tier.

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!

#5864 15.10.2025 Enjoying a few samples after work while listening to the latest trance tracks. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light pineapple, light raisin, light coconut, faint caramel. Palate Oily, light wood, light smoke, peat, light citrus, fruits, spice, light caramel, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, faint smoke, peat, light citrus, light pineapple. Empty glass Smoke, peat, light floral, faint caramel. This is in my mind an example on how to kill a probvery good rum. The peat just kills the original flavours.

Wow, wat nen geiles Teil, auch wenn er mit Foursquare, meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach, nicht mehr allzuviel zu tun hat. Kokosnuss auch hier erkennbar, aber ansonsonsten recht holzig, wobei ich das Holz nicht wirklich zuordnen kann.

9:On the nose, peat, smoke, toasted wood notes with chocolate, burnt sugar, roasted nuts, leather, fruits with coconut, dried apricots, peaches, hints of sugar cane, complex, as barrel impact of sherry, mizunara finish is obvious, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, vanilla additionaly softens the angles of mizunara, as the rum becomes very balanced, syrupy, with a help of raisins, citrus and tropical fruits, slightly spicy, sweet. 9:On the palate, the attack is smoky, peated, whisky like, with mizunara barrel impact, the wood is roasted with cocoa, roasted nuts, caramel, leather, spicy with vanilla, frankincense, the fruits are dried like apricots, raisins, figs and prunes, the coconut is toasted, on oxidation some of the fruits become candied, as the molasses herbaceous. 8,9:The finish is long, dry and tannic, medicinal with hints of esters, glue, the oak is roasted, smoky, spicy, the molasses peated and the fruits less intense with coconut, pear, apricot..

Sehr 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.

Das Ausgangsprodukt ist von hoher Qualität, aber mir ist das Whisky-Finish viel zu dominant. Harmoniert für mich überhaupt nicht. Aber danke an Skyfly für das Sample. Noch Mal nachverkostet und minimal nach oben korrigiert. Nachdem ich gestern bei einem Whiskytasting war und dort das rauchige als nicht mehr so störend empfunden habe habe ich hier um 0,2 Punkte nach oben korrigiert. Trotz alledem ist mir das torfige rauchige hier zu dominant und zerstört das Foursquare Profil. Wenn ich diese Aromen will dann trinke ich lieber einen Whisky. Aber er scheint ja in der Community großen Anklang zu finden. Jedem das seine.
