Foursquare Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-Year

A real surprise here. lovely bold and traditional rum flavour with just a hint of the pepper from there zin. Ver well balanced rum, I will be using this again for sure. Better than the Doorley XO and the Seale 10 if that helps.

Helt utan socker tydligen. Jättegod och söt, men inte för söt.

This is combined of two rums: one aged for five years in bourbon and then six years in ex-Zinfandel wine casks, and an 11-year-old matured full term in bourbon casks. These were then blended together and bottled in September 2015. Fruity and full of vanilla notes. Drier with no added molasses or sugar. Great rum.

My second kind of a Foursquare / Richard Seale Rum (first one was the port finish).
This rum just taste awesome and is interesting and well balanced.
I am going to buy more of the rums from Foursquare, and then its just great that they are reasonibly prized aswell.

I've been waiting for this one to come to the states after loving the 2004 Single Barrel and the Port Cask and I wasn't disappointed. It shows how you can make a smooth and complex tasting rum without adding tons of sugar and additives and just letting the cask give the rum its smoothness. I'll definitely be buying this one again.

Very rich and mellow taste, yet completely dry. Very drinkable as well at 43% abv (a lot of Foursquare rums are much higher in alcohol). Sadly it isn't available anymore.

I’m a big fan of Port cask finish rums, and this Zinfandel cask was a big surprise. I wonder why they have not done another one. Very nice depth like the other Foursquare rums. Lots of depth wonderful.

This is like getting af liquid rum cake. Fantastic nose and taste.

One of the ealier releases in the exceptional cask series and on that account, I think, still offering a more mainstream, less demanding profile than the recent cask strength releases. The zinfandel is bottled at 43% vol.and can be enjoyed by just about any rum drinker. Even though it’s foursquare trademark additive free, it’s still what I would consider a semi sweet offering, courtesy of the zinfandel ageing.
The nose is worth spending some time with, as notes of caramel, chocolate, red fruits, coffee, sweet tobacco and mild oak spices emerges.
The taste is medium bodied and balanced nicely. First I pick up sweet pipe tobacco, slightly vinous red fruits and caramel. Then slightly more dry barrelnotes of mild black pepper, leather and ginger emerges. The finish is subtle but quite persistant with mild spice and caramel. What I would call a real feet up, fireplace kinda rum. It’s still available at good value and well recommeded. It might be looking at a 9 rating.

The Foursquare Zinfandel is an excelent and tasty Rum! Love the zinfandel cask blend! Lucky i got two bottles when it was still available.
