Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-Year

Denne rom er nok ikke til nybegyndere der forventer en sød rom. Den er lidt tør men bestemt god

Since I absolutely hate rums aged in sherry or madeira casks, and port is a close cousin to both of these, I have held off on trying anything from this distiller who likes to use port casks. This one is aged partially in zinfandel casks, and this varietal happens to be my favorite. I was still hesitant to try this one until I read all of the reviews. At only $52, I deemed it to be worth the gamble. Since this is a dry rum, that was an added bonus.

The aroma is nothing to write home about except for some of the alcohol vapors breathing off. The taste on the tongue is peppery and a thin mouthfeel because of it having no added sugar. The aftertaste has a very faint hint of zinfandel and oak with no after burn. This rum went through a very complex blending process, but it really amazes me how the final product is just pure and simple rum. If the info on it's blending had not been shown, I seriously doubt that anyone could guess all the trouble that went into making this fine rum.

Za mě klasika od FSQ. Je výborný o tom žádná, ale je to proste všechno na jedno brdo.

Facile à Trouver et vraiment abordable. Ce n'est pas mon Foursquare préféré mais il est indispensable à toute collection !

Denne rom er nok ikke til nybegyndere der forventer en sød rom. Den er lidt tør men bestemt god. Jeg tror jeg ville rate den højere, hvis jeg fik smagt den noget mere. God rom, hvis man vil prøve at komme væk fra det søde rom og over til noget mere “rigtigt” rom

En anden rom hvor det desværre er for lang tid siden at jeg har smagt den til at jeg rigtigt kan huske det.

Fortjener en opfrisker, men husker den som lidt væk fra det helt søde jeg eller normalt er meget til

Dejlig rom, kryderi, karamel, mazipan, træ og en snert af vin.
Ingen tilsat sukker.

This is not my favorite Foursquare bottling at all. The wine speaks too loudly, and has given odd notes to the rum. Its not well integrated, I feel.

I'm putting this as my bottom ECS but that's also kind of like saying "this is the worst Ferrari made" as it's better than most out there.

Deep brown sugar nose. Smooth molasses flavour with the Zinfandel cask coming through well - quite an interesting wine-type initial note, but I’m not an enormous fan of it. Serious spice lasts forever with smokey and woodsy tones. Unique for sure, just not my cup of tea
