Foursquare 2007 Sagacity 12-Year

Amber in the glass. On the nose: oak, dark fruit, spice. On the palate: sweet but not cloying, lots of fruit, wood forward, and holiday spices. Medium long finish with the wood dominant. Very smooth sipper even at 48% ABV.

It has similar fruit signature as 2005, but less emphasis is put on it and it is more about aged and bourbon chocolate notes. I prefer the 2005 release.

What an excellent rum. Thick, oily, with loads of chocolate, dried dark stone fruit, dried banana, and a charred caramel end. Just lovely.

Thought I reviewed this 3-4 months ago, but gives me a chance to enjoy again. Very similar to FS Premise, with the smoothing wine cask extra aging. Not as whisky strong as Empery, 2008, & Nobiliary but I do like the bit less from and further aging. Stand alone this is a very good rum.

barva tmavější karamel
vune vanilka, citrusy, ořechy
chut přijemně hřejivá lehce kouřová, mandle ořechy se rozplynou na jazyku
zaver krásně jemný s hřejivým dotekem:)

It is really amazing rum with natural sweetness and rich flavor.
Beat the cognac, scotch.

48% ex bourbon 12 years pot and column blended. Bottled 2019.

I recently acquired this and the Empery. At 46%, the Sagacity is a bit smoother than the Empery due to the lower ABV.

The sagacity is fruity with hints of oak and brown sugar. There isn’t much spice in the finish, but the overall experience is excellent. This rum REALLY comes alive with one large ice cube or a few drops of water. The flavors are more accessible this way somehow and it’s vastly better this way.

While this is an excellent sipper, on the rocks or mixed adds dimension to your drinks.

I made a bees kiss with this and it was sublime.

Typical of Foursquare offerings, there isn’t a bad one, it’s just down to your personal preference.

vůně i chuť typický Foursquare, příjemných 48%, o ždibek vyladěnější než Premise

No matter which Foursquare ECS you buy, you're in for a hell of an experience! The taste itself is not enough to describe this rum. Yes, it is very rich, full of flavor with notes of caramel and vanilla, as well as friuty notes, mixed together with some dry notes typical for this kind of ageing process. However, it's still really smooth and extremely well balanced.
