Foursquare 2006 Released by Velier 10-Year

The first collaboration between Foursquare and Velier. Ten years aging ( seven ex-cognac and three ex-bourbon barrels), 62% vol.
Nose: massive alcholic, later tobacco, wax, cherries bit of vanilla... better with some tears of water.
Taste: unsweetened cacao, pepper, liquorice...at end spices and fruit notes.

One of the best rums i've ever tasted!

I don't give out 10's easily or often, but this rum is a unicorn that lives up to all its hype! I just finished the 1st bottle I opened and slow drank over almost a year. It was so good that it was only shared with my most loved friends and family. The unfortunate part is that the prices are outrageous for a bottle these days.....but that said, it truly is an experience that should be had by any real rum lover. 2,400 on release five years ago translates to VERY HARD TO FIND, but still try....you won't be disappointed!

Not as good as the Destino but great stuff nonetheless.

Nose: Vanilla, Cherry, Caramel, Banana, Raisins, Strawberries, Raspberries, Flowers, Coconut, Pencil Shavings, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Cashews, Walnuts, Almonds, Hazlenuts, Plums

Easily one of the best rums I’ve tried. Full bodied and fully flavoured

The best foursquare of the Velier line... the problem is to get one!

What an incredible Foursquare.

On the nose there is ripe strawberry, cherry, orange, cognac, some sourness, a light funk, honey and cinnamon. The palate is a full bodied sweetness, candy, rich, ginger, dark chocolate, toffee and cola. The finish is medium in length with pepper and candied almonds.

A little water beings out more floral and sweet notes, making it even more delectable. Very solid FS!

I like this collection. This makes good returns in the long run.

závěr dlouhý, velmi příjemný, paráda 👍

Puissance, finesse, fruits, notes épicées.
Ne la collectionnez pas, buvez la !

il s'agit d'un “single blended rhum” façon Luca Gargano, c'est-à-dire un assemblage de rhums provenant d’une même distillerie mais distillés dans des alambics différents. Ensuite le rhum a été mis à vieillir pendant 10 ans à la Barbade (3 ans en fut de bourbon et 7 en fut de cognac) pour être enfin embouteillé brut, sans ajout d’eau.
Au premier contact l’alcool est très présent, il faut laisser respirer le rhum, après quoi le nez est juste délicieux avec un alcool très bien intégré aux fruits.
Les 62% ne se font pas du tout sentir en bouche et on a un rhum chaleureux qui vient recouvrir le palais et la langue. On retrouve les fruits, des agrumes et une fraicheur mentholée très agréable.
Le final est magnifiquement long et laisse la place aux agrumes.
Ce rhum est simplement délicieux.
