Foursquare 2010 Detente 10-Year

I love how when I purchase any Foursquare I know what I'm getting into. High quality and great aged taste. There is a small funkiness to it, but nothing off putting. There is also sweetness but nothing overpowering. Overall a great blend of rum. It comes in close to my Nobiliary. Definitely would purchase again at $74

Fresh update, I’ve been saving my older Foursquare rums but just sampled the last four, and I have to say that Nobiliary, and 2008 pinch away from Detente. Detente has great flavor and stays with you but the depth and smoothness of 2008 and Nobiliary shine through, so I’m dropping to a 9. The first thing I notice is the Classic Foursquare Color, then the nose is a bit different from Nobiliary, 2008, and Sagacity. The taste is awesome sweet bourbon notes with a nice island spice. Trying it side by side with Premise which I believe was a sherry finish, and Sagacity Madeira finish and definitely like the Detente better. Much smoother marriage of flavors, leaves you with lots of lingering flavor with a little heat but in a good way. This is an excellent rum, glad I bought 2 bottles.ok on to my 4th bottle and this is now my favorite rum. Easy to enjoy without burning your throat. Love the full body and flavors and great price point. Still can not find in Florida keep shipping it in.

Very smooth start and love the caramel notes at the end.

Foursquare keeps releasing new expressions, each better than the last!

On the nose, it’s sweet with vanilla, fruit and caramel.

On the palate, its smooth. it’s sweet, spicy and peppery. There’s a good burn which is to be expected at this ABV, however, this is one of the smoothest Foursquare Exceptional Cask releases. Definitely one you can drink neat.

The finish is strong and spicy on the tongue and lingers with sugar cane grassiness for a long time.

This is a great rum, and by far my favorite. Time to stock up!

A great example of a rum that can achieve sublimely delectable levels of sweetness without any additives. Berry compote, wet wood, raisin juice on the nose. On the palate, tons of roasted almonds and macadamia, the berry notes go deeper, the raisins become prunes, and a ton of fresh vanilla. The finish lingers like the residual heat of a good hot sauce but with berry flavors.

I did not have the pleasure of tasting the port cask, but this detente is an excellent edition and a joy to drink.

In the nose I smell brown sugar and oaky tones.
Taste is heavy a instense. There are hints of wood , caramel bound with hints of smoke.
Extremely long bittersweet aftertaste.

Nose: Punchy, acidic, fruity, slightly sweet, some vanilla

Mouth: Flavor explosion! Ripe cherries, green grapes, oak. Not oily, but full bodied and and slightly tart.

Finish: loads of oak and some tannins, then comes the oxidized port character. Leaves my mouth very dry.

I really enjoy aroma and taste of this rhum. True is that little bit kick.
