Foursquare 2005 Shibboleth 16-Year

Enjoyed at the tasting room at the Distillery on February 15, 2024. I have a bottle at home but why not try one of your favorites at the distillery...

Nose: More fruit forward (peaches/plums) with an underlying influence of oak.

Taste/Palate: The fruit come through after noticing oak, spice and vanilla.

Finish: Long, intense and well balanced

This rum was a gateway to unsweetened rums for me, it is very drinkable.

Love Four Square products. One of my favorite bottlers

Tried at Rumba in Seattle. Lovely nose. Vanilla. Chocolate. Complex. Bite at end.

The smell is rich and sweet. The taste is full of flavour and the alcohol accelerates the flavour and leaves you with a warm, very long and pleasant aftertaste. Just perfect.

Moc příjemná záležitost s hřejivým dřevem a ovocem. Nos je skvělý. Zbožňuji tóny teplého dřeva s lehkou ovocností, rozinkami. Ve slepé degu typuju hodně povedený Fousquare. Tohle mi sedlo. Ve své chuťové kategorii dokonalost.

Purchased bottle in Annapolis. Blown away. Have had several foursquare rums and have generally been impressed but agree bourbon notes to strong for my taste. I’m a port type guy. This rum does not have bourbon notes so remains one of my favorites. However. Once gone it will be a favorite memory. Time to keep on tasting

This rum is one of the best and must have for even the purist of rum connoisseurs.

Nose - raisins, cocoa, hint of vanilla, spice. Very deep smell, balanced.

Taste - naturally sweet. Fruits, caramel, cocoa, oak, mulled wine. Great Finish. You have to try.

56% spirit, which you can drink neat, enjoying every sip as it walks throug your palate. True rum at its best from Foursquare, worth every money spent on it. No marketing tricks, no deception, just transparent and clear information on the label of what you are about to experience - and since the very first sip you can feel, how much work and dedication was put in inside this bottle. I am truly glad to have tasted it and keep it in my cabinet.
