Foursquare Empery 14-Year

Empery sa naozaj podarilo. Silný rum s vyšším obsahom alkoholu, ktorý v mojich očiach poráža aj ospevovane Nobiliary. Jeden z mojich najobľúbenejších zo série FQ

I have to say I really like FS rums... Doorlys 14 and Premise are my big favorites. And this one is really special... on the nose you can how strong this rum is. Smell is full of bourbon and sherry. But you can recognize another flavours like citruses and vanilla. Taste is another chapter... first sip just prepare your tongue. You can feel mainly strong oak and fruit. Second sip reveal another flavours like chocolate, sherry, tropical fruit and vanilla. This rum is really masterpiece.. but nothing for beginers.

I think a lot of people prefer this to 2007 but...they're wrong. The ex-sherry doesnt do it for me, in general.

Another day, another Foursquare. Aged in bourbond and sherry casks.

Great nose. I smell wood and the barrel, some gum (from the sherry cask). Then sweet flavors of caramel, dry furits, orange, red fruits and vanilla. It's balanced, nothing dominates, but nothing goes under either.

The taste starts intensive with gum, barrel, caramel and dry orange peels. The rum feels very soft in the mouth. The middle is sweet with caramel, oak, some tannins and orange peels. Gum is again at the end with some dry fruits.
The finish starts spicy, then sweet with burned sugar, oak, gum, some earth and orange peels.

Overall a great Foursquare, strong, intensive and balanced. Would rate this one with 90 points.

My favourite foursquare so far, i loved the sherry influence in premise but this one is even better. When someone says they dont like rum this is what i would give them. I doubt anyone could dislike this. Rum doesn't get better than this.

Skvělý, další vydařený objev od Foursquare, parádních 56%

Yummy a Sherry finish, one of my favorite official Foursquare alongside the Criterion, albeit this one is much drier.

I really enjoyed this bottle. It was a little spicy in the beginning but my tastes either adjusted for it or the bottle mellowed and as I finished it I was craving more.

Definitely one of my top rums! Dark and complex with a beautiful finish. Love it!
