Foursquare 2010 Detente 10-Year

Typical foursquare smell, nothing special here. Really sweet taste, fruits, oak, honey, tiny hint of banana/vanilla. Little bit harsh compared to other ECS. This one was less enjoyable for me.

It is surprising how you can extract such a wide range of different flavours from each ECS bottle. Detente is another in the series that does not disappoint! Decent nose followed by complex flavours of raisin, stone fruits, caramel, dark chocolate and vanilla. Great sipper if you can still get it.

Strong port tones, nice burn, medium aftertaste. Perfect drinker.

Slepá degustace
Barva světle hnědá, mírně tmavší
Vůně karamel, sladší vůně, citrusy, možná pomeranče, 80/100
Chuť mírně trpká a štiplavá, citrusy, příjemná chuť 75/100
Body 77

Tasted at Laka Lono on 3/28. A big disappointment to me, and I'm a Foursquare fan! Pedestrian banana aroma, sweet maple flavor, lots of finishing spiciness and heat. I can find this in many rums for less than half the price.

Udemærket rom men ikke så god som andre Foursquare

Jeg synes ikke helt denne rom er på niveau med de andre Foursquare.

Another banger from Foursquare. I can't think of an ECS that hasn't been a delight to drink and this is of course no exception. Caramel, sultana, oak, all the flavours you want in a premium rum.

The port cask finish gives it a different flavor. Hints of raisin, coconut, caramel, and a nice finish. Definitely doesn’t have a strong aftertaste. Good sipping rum, just not in my top 5 Foursquare favorites.

I've had a few of Foursquare's ECS releases (Sagacity, Empery) but this release of the Detente has to be my favorite. For a 51% ABV spirit, it sure doesn't drink like one. Delicious right out of the bottle, the flavor opens up even more with a chip of ice, and seems to get richer and more luxurious when it sits in the glass for a bit. Among the top of the heap when it comes to rums, and the current crown jewel in my collection, this is the bottle I reach for when I feel like something very special.
