Foursquare 2004 Zinfandel Cask Blend 11-Year

A beautiful expression of Barbados rum. Unsweetened, spirit-forward, with a shockingly delicious finishing.

molasses. dry rum. 43% 86 proof
i smell elements of almond with a fruity unerlayer.
i taste marzipan and sweet fruit at the start. then it turns into apricot and peppery notes with the finish of sweet grapes.
10/10 - drop 5 points if you love the real sweet stuff on the rum market.
worth every cent.
in the whole this rum is real good. soft and mild with elements of almond and some cherry. fruity with a touch of apricot. very smooth. mild peppery notes.
a masterpiece. the aging in the zinfandel cask makes the difference especially at the start!
one of the best rums i met in 2016 :).

A real surprise here. lovely bold and traditional rum flavour with just a hint of the pepper from there zin. Ver well balanced rum, I will be using this again for sure. Better than the Doorley XO and the Seale 10 if that helps.

My second kind of a Foursquare / Richard Seale Rum (first one was the port finish).
This rum just taste awesome and is interesting and well balanced.
I am going to buy more of the rums from Foursquare, and then its just great that they are reasonibly prized aswell.

Zinfandel Cask Blend has a stunning continuity between aroma and taste. No additives allow the master blender's art to shine, revealing a wealth of rich and complex flavors.

Floral notes on nose, wine finish is strong, barely any burn and candy-ish quality to finish

I've been waiting for this one to come to the states after loving the 2004 Single Barrel and the Port Cask and I wasn't disappointed. It shows how you can make a smooth and complex tasting rum without adding tons of sugar and additives and just letting the cask give the rum its smoothness. I'll definitely be buying this one again.

I like Foursquare Port cask 9yo,this one is one step more mature,the Zinfandel adds touch of specialty.

Color:medium caramel color
Nose:vanilla,caramel
Body:hot(rum alcohol shot-which I really like),oak
Tail:long,proper rum taste
9/10

Typical rum flavor is dimmed. Which brings this rum closer to whiskey fans.
Cask taste is intensive, which I love.
The influence of Zinfandel is for my untrained senses undetectable, which makes me a little bit sad, because I’m passionately in love with Zinfandel/Primitivo/Plavac.
Bottle is very simple and pretty, but the plug looks too cheap. Maybe Foursquare should think about some changes in this detail.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this rum.

Rum molto morbido ed equilibrato con un gusto caramelloso per niente fastidioso. Anche se non è il mio genere preferito devo ammettere che è di ottima qualità.
