I am in love with this rum. I first tried it at the 2016 California Rum Festival, along with the Port Cask Finish and a couple other Foursquare offerings (connected with R L Seale, so you know it's good right off the bat).

Pour this in a large snifter or cabernet glass, and take in the aromas of wine barrels. If you've never visited a winery's barrel-aging room before, this may be the next-best thing. The double-aging in bourbon (first) and zinfandel (last) casks works really, really well.

In the mouth, this rum is smooth, with a satisfying oak bite. The flavor is complex, with characteristic Bajan sweetness, but off-dry overall. It strikes a really nice balance. I've read that some caramel color was added, but no other additives or sweeteners, allowing the rum to shine on its own.

And shine it does! I've given this as gifts to two special folks for the holidays, and only wish I had one for myself—but I've got several other bottles to get though, first :).

If there's room on your shelf, don't pass this one up! (Or any of the Exceptional Cask Series offerings from Foursquare.)

10-

(Update 8/17 - I had demoted to this to a 9 for several days after a re-tasting. The flavor and sweetness profile of this rum seems to vary dramatically depending on what I have before it. Immediately followed by a super-dry rum, it's a bit too sweet. Followed by an off-dry rum or, especially, a nice red wine, this bottle shines. Especially with a little time to breathe—I can get lost in that wine barrel nose for ages! This stuff may be a 9 or 9+—nothing to scoff at—but I'm returning it to a 10 for the pure beauty of what Richard accomplished, with the hope that he will continue to release more of the same (rumors of petite sirah barrels have me very excited...). This rum also holds sentimental value to me, which is worth at least a half point :). Enjoy!)

Nejlepe vonici rum, co jsem kdy ochutnal. Karamel, maslo, kokos, ovoco. Proste nadhera. Chut sucha, dub, karamel, kokos. Pokracuje v pepr. Dozvuk dlouhy a prijemny.

Denne rom er nok ikke til nybegyndere der forventer en sød rom. Den er lidt tør men bestemt god

Can't go wrong with this one. I liked it just a little more that I recall I liked the port. So, a nine it is!

I noticed that this rum comes off a little harsh from the bottle. But let this sit in the glass for a bit and the esters burn off. It becomes a beautiful and floral drink. A unique specimen for your rum shelf.

A lovely flavour with the natural flavours of the zinfandel grapes giving the rum a sweetness without any added sugar, great choice

This reminded me very much of the popular Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, without the 30 grams of sugar added, so it's much more lively and you won't nuke your tastebuds with sugar, so you will be able to taste something after one drink. Lots of toffee, cookie dough, vanilla, cinnamom and baking spices. Very accesible smooth rum even for novice drinkers. Can't go wong with this one.

The heat fades after the first or second sip. My opinion is that using barrels of different wines or spirits to add variety is in itself a form of flavoring (though a sinless one). It's character is pretty much Foursquare, but the zin finish really is a nice touch, and creates something a little special.

Tried this beauty 3 months ago on my birthday but the rum disappeared very quickly as my guests really enjoyed it. The only thing I have to say that I was amazed and saving some coins to buy another bottle in a month or two. Alcohol is so expensive in Australia!! We pay double what everybody else in the world,

A nice flavour which has strong vanilla flavour, which I like, a little ice takes any harsh alcohol off the rum. A good option for the price point but possibly too much vanilla for some.

Facile à Trouver et vraiment abordable. Ce n'est pas mon Foursquare préféré mais il est indispensable à toute collection !
