This is the same liquid that created the notorious 2006 rum.....just aged a bit longer. This is great rum no doubt, but that extra aging did not gain much (if anything) when compared to the 2006 bottle. Most don't have the 2006, but once in awhile I pull out both for comparison tasting. Well worth the initial price point, but has since escalated to obscene pricing.

Finally sampled FS 2006 Sassafras and am really amazed! Another first rate rum originating from the FS rum distillery. Have NEVER been disappointed by FS products yet (even if this one is bottled by Velier). Another “10”

On my top there is still Plenipotenziario, and Patrimonio, however this is right next to them. So nice and round dry fruits. It is hard to get it for acceptable price but... you will not regret it. It is level up from FS ECS line and two levels above anything else I have tried so far from Barbaros. I say that every body who loves rum, should try at least this line of FS from Velier.

J aime bien cette. Distillerie
Foursquare Sassafras est un rhum de mélasse de La Barbade. Il s’agit d’un single blended rum, soit un rhum issu de deux modes distillations différents, au sein d’une même distillerie. Comme à son habitude, Foursquare assemble des distillats de colonne et des distillats de pot-still avant même la mise en vieillissement.

What a wild ride. After sampling several classic Foursquare rums at the distillery I had the opportunity to enjoy a dram of this Velier release. If I was blindfolded I would not have known it was Foursquare. Only a few years in bourbon barrels balance time in Cognac barrels. Nice scent with very strong alcohol burn on the backside. But truly exceptional.

Na fq konečně změna a parádní chuť. Karamel, káva a pepř. Moc příjemná kombinace

Nose: Umami galore nuanced by a balanced sweetness. Beautiful cinnamon rolls. Macadamia nuts, cacao nibs, sesame oil, and a touch of balsamic vinegar. A warm layer of spice comprising nutmeg, chopped raisins, bay leaf, blackberries, and burnt ginger. There's an earthiness to it, too, mixed with hints of light marker pen.

Palate: Velvety and spicy mouthfeel; the rich flavors gently roll around and alternate, still with that characteristic Foursquare softness. The pot still spirit character is noticaeble. Lightly salted peanuts, drops of Worcestershire sauce, Pandan leaves after cooking Pandan chicken, dusty Port wine, and cacao, masterfully held back by notes of bananas, toasted cherries, and citrus oil freshly expressed from an orange peel. Period hitns of tobacco. This checks all the boxes.

Finish: Still, that nuttiness but, this time, of almonds accompanied by molasses, cherry stalks, and old bubble gum. Very long.

Look, if i would like cognac that much i would be a member of cognac rating site. Besides that this rum is superb and once again Velier delivers a top quality product (complex, balanced). I also start to see why the high abv (casc strengths releases) make so much difference. I personally do not appreciate that much of cognac maturation. I still enjoy this rum very much. Therefore i rate this a weak 9.

Une palette aromatique très large..waouw...c'est certainement une des meilleures bouteilles que j'ai jamais eu le plaisir de boire.
