Review by Adde
chocolate, what a marvelous taste of dark chocolate. Soft and creamy, yummi!
Review by GigiMartini
Un Foursquare piuttosto classico, in questo caso l'apporto dello sherry è evidente e ben gestito. Alcool ben integrato
Review by Marcel.
My first high end rum bottle, was a family present which made me move on from whiskey into rum. Very nice balanced flavors of Fruits, wood from the sherry cask, and a little dirty note of tar and rubber.
Review by zabo
Wie nicht anders zu erwarten wieder mal eine solide Foursquare Abfüllung wie immer. Das Finish ist ein wenig anders als die üblichen. Ein schönes Experiment das ich für gelungen halte. Aber für den jetzigen Preis der in Shops aufgerufen wird, völlig überzogen.
Review by Oliver
Excellent Foursquare. Rather on the dark, spicy side with dirty, smoky notes. Special, but really good!
Review by Fuwi
Grundsolider Foursquare, der kaum für Überraschungen sorgt. In der Nase Vanille und der Sherry kommt leicht durch, auf der Zunge erst ein wenig leicht unangenehme Schärfe mit holzigen Noten und dunklen Früchten hinten raus. War spannend getestet zu haben, danke an @zabo für den Split und an meine Tochter für das LED Amhiente!
Review by Serge
Solid Foursquare with a little too much sherry for me - especially on the palate. Goes in the dark direction - which I like. But somehow with too much sherry. I like the dark, but somehow not really at the level I would expect for a higher rating. The dry notes mix too much with the sherry notes here
Review by Leo Krüper
Sherry Foursquare. Simple but good. With the 56% very pleasant to drink on a medium-warm summer evening.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Ganz tolle leckere Nase. Am Gaumen dann etwas enttäuscht, da er etwas dünn wirkt. Viel Holz. Die Sherry Fässer sind schon merkbar. Ein schöner Sipper...
Review by DomM
Nicely balanced Foursquare. Sherry influence is noticeable but well executed and adds to the classic Foursquare profile. Very solid release as you would expect from Foursquare and The Whisky Exchange.
Review by Joachim Guger
Similar profile to the ECS 2004, but less coconut, cleaner. Overall, the 2004 is in a different class. Post Tasting Note: Even with 2cl I had a slight hangover several times the next morning. Perhaps too much sulphur in the casks.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
This one little bit disappointed me. Need to try again…
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Nose: way too much solvent, right cloud that bothers me! Taste: dry, metallic, astringent, fresh, spicy, musty-wet cellar, then awesome finish of cocoa and grape and some citrus. Beautiful thing but for me a little unclean!

Too flat, less chocolate more coffee
