Foursquare 2007 12-Year

As i open the bottle expecting this to be somewhat the same as the 2004 i am suprised. This 2007 is a bit smoother than the 2004, tasting them side by side. I actualy have only one word for this. Excelent.

The incredible aroma as soon as you open the bottle - a punch of immediate honey and vanilla followed by the richer aged woody characteristics.

Flavors were strong caramel, vanilla, and a bit of a burn at 59%. An enjoyable sipper for a single 1.5 oz pour, but I wouldn't go back for more than one without calming it down with some chilled distilled water.

I wouldn't recommend for use in cocktails - the subtle flavors you are paying for would be quickly overwhelmed.

Not my favorite Foursquare, a bit more alcohol scent first smell. Nice flavor on the tongue and gums. Warms you up and lingers but more of a burn linger than intense spice linger like Empery..Glad to have it in my collection will visit again soon. I like to sip several side by side and compare and contrast.

Very well balanced rum with great and long finish.

With 59% alc. this rum is not for first time sippers. After a initially burning/alcoholic sip you get a well rounded oaky taste that keeps lasting in your mouth. this rum is not for everyone but I loved it. however if you like it sweet en easy, then this one is not for you.

I let my initial pour breath for a few minutes prior to getting a nose full of alcohol. If you like sweet rums, run away. If you’re more of a purest for Barbados’s rum you’re in the target market. This is the rum you serve you’re “scotch snob” friends that look down on you as you’re secretly try to transition them to rums. Tell them it’s an American bourbon and then enjoy seeing their face after you’ve confused them.

You can definitely tell this is a higher proof. Strong burn, complex flavor. Not bad, but probably won’t buy it again given the price point.

vůně - ovoce, meruňky, koření
chuť - podobně jako vůně v kombinací s voltáži 59%

This is a fabulous rum. Yes it has a high ABV, but this is sipping rum, if you really want to appreciate it. This is the kind of rum that bourbon drinkers will switch to when summer arrives. Complex. It's not for pina coladas or for mixing with Coke. If you're new to rum, start with something else, this is for experienced drinkers that appreciate what a rum can be. Four Square is one of the best rum distillers in the world and this is one of their best.

Typically a foursquare, One must have for all peeps who love the rum !
