Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-Year

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.

This is a very fine rum with a great balance of sweetness, strength and taste. Such a shame i will never own a bottle since it has all sold out! I was lucky enough to get a 5cl sample and enjoyed it quite a bit. I wouldn't say it is absolutely ground breaking but what it is, is a very enjoyable rum worthy of owning and enjoying.

Perfect sip. Nice burn, strong finish, great pure flavor. Must have on the bar.

N- Roasted cocoa bean, full and firm molasses with bean-y fragrance, caramelized fruits and honey laced berries. Coffee on sub notes, fruit preserves and resin, mixed toasted spices and caraway. Feel charming and the Zinfandel Cask does some how brighten things up a bit. (88/22)

P- Velvet, pleasant rum with direct profile, and simply swims well on palate. Lovely texture, whispers of fruits and adequately sweet. Bottled at much lower strength compare to Mark III, which may have strip some of its boldness and feel feminine, but shows quality credential for a fine rum. (85/19)

F- Medium, creamy, hearty and fruity. (85/19)

B/B- 86/20

Weighted Rate- 80pt
— at Kill Devil KL.

Floral notes on nose, wine finish is strong, barely any burn and candy-ish quality to finish

It's like a blend of all the awesome rums I've ever tried. This is a generous 9 admittedly but it deserves rewarding. It takes balls to make something like this and balls to drink it neat. I am a happy pirate.

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 bought this because it is rated so highly on here and agree that it is quite fantastic! My favorite is El Dorado 12, but this is definitely less sweet and has more character, fruity notes, cinnamon and oaky with a nice Zinfandel finish, quality sipper!

...besten Rums, welche ich bis jetzt getrunken habe. Der Anfang einer wunderbaren Freundschaft zwischen mir und der Foursquare Distillery :D.

Fruchtig und ausgewogen.
Nur leicht süss, so wie Rum sein sollte.
