Foursquare 2010 Dominus 10-Year

This is one of my top rums... to be enjoyed straight without rocks. This 56% is very sippable and it offers distinct cognac barrel notes and has a strong (but very delicate) oaky finish.

Foursquare has done it again! Everything I have had from Mr. Seale I have thoroughly enjoyed! Not as sweet as the Port Cask or Zin Cask expressions but plenty of dark, red fruit flavors. If you see it get it, you won't be disappointed!

Everything what a Rum should be like.

The 56% dont even feel that much because the rum is that well balanced.

Nose is very fruity, mostly cherries, very fresh and sweet. Not so complex. This smell is not common for Foursquare. I like it.

Tastes very smooth, fruits, mainly cherries with jelly then oak and candied fruits. This one doesn't have the standard Foursquare flavor, I wouldn't know it's Foursquare from the taste. Sweetest ECS I was tasting yet. Very special release. It needs to be treated right.

Wow.

I tried a few other of the top rums, but none made me join the site in order to tell other people how good they are.

This is probably the nicest drink I've ever had.

Zero burn, fruity as you like, subtly sweet and super long lasting. I honestly haven't a clue what magic was used to get a 56% ABV spirit to taste like this but its enough to make me question everything.

I don't know how to describe the tastes very well, but honestly from even before the first sip I took, I knew it was the best rum I'd ever had, and the taste only confirmed that.

It was "only" £54 as well, which compared to some of the other premium rums, is a complete and utter steal.

I've got a bottle of the Zinfandel cask on its way, and after trying this, I am beside myself with excitement waiting for that to come.. bring on Monday!

Thanks to Rum ratings and everyone on here for steering me towards this pure, unadulterated shining superstar of the rum world, it's the finest drink I've ever had.

Simply the best rum I have ever tried.

So deep an complex,

Foursquare continues their exceptional cask series with Dominus and it's another great one. The nose is very inviting with hints of orange and other fruits. The first taste can be a little strong because of the 56% ABV but after adding a drop of water the taste of the bourbon and cognac casks really comes through and you begin to taste the complexity of the rum.

I've been trying to decide how this compares with some of their previous releases like the Port or Zinfandel casks but have just decided to enjoy each on their own merits and like the others this one is amazing!

For me, this is right up there with the Criterion, a personal favorite. Awash in cherries, plums, apricots, and dark wine too. The cognac is there, but not as dominant as 7 years would have you assume. Perfectly drinkable at 56% as well. I don't know how Foursquare does it; high percentage rum still being easily sippable is not easy to do, yet they have practically perfected it. 9+

One of three that Foursquare released in 2018 this is number seven in the Exceptional Cask Series. Bottled at 56% this has been aged for a total of 10 years. 3 years in ex-bourbon casks and 7 years in ex-cognac. Some indicates this follows the release of Criterian but I can't be sure about this.

Despite the higher abv this is deceptionally easy to drink. Rich, spicy. The finish is satisfying long. A drop of water does release some further notes of citrus and sweetness.

Wow.

Dominus (Exceptional Cask Selection Mark VII) is een blend van pot en column still distillaat die tien jaar gerijpt heeft in ex-bourbon vaten (3 jaar) en cognac vaten (7 jaar) en gebotteld is op 56%.
Zonder toegevoegde suiker, smaakversterkers of kleurstoffen.

Dit is een van de lekkerste Foursquare rum die ik tot nu toe geproeft heb. Aroma, smaak en afdronk zijn allemaal top.
Aanrader.
