Foursquare 2005 12-Year

Very good millésime, alcohol is nicely present, a lot or aroma, One must have !

Det her er virkelig en god rom med fuld smæk for skillingen 👊

Puha der er power på her. Fin rom, lidt for tør til min smag men godt gang på alkoholen som gør den spændende

Nejlepsi s par kapkama vody, ale da se pit i v plny sile...

I only drink aged liquor straight, therefore its enormous ABV prevents me from enjoying this rum, which otherwise has a nice balance of color and smell. I'm also concern about what an almost 60% of alcohol would do to your liver.

This one is a real treat. Adding a small piece of ice and it's literally exploding, vanilla, oak, caramel, cane sugar, chocolate perhaps tobacco. It strong in the end but after airing a bit this goes away. A perfect sipper.

An old school solid diamond! Full of taste. 59% but smooth to the end. Leaves you with an oaky aftertaste that lasts for long. Even a little expensive it woths every cent! In my opinion counts as the paradigm of cask strenght str8 rums.

Ratings are relatively high for it, and descriptions are well within my palate, so I expected to like it a lot better than I did. Foursquare has a reputation for making high quality sipping rums, and it's a well-deserved reputation. But even the best distilleries can't be perfect.

I find it oddly syrupy. Premise (the first Foursquare rum I reviewed) was... thinner?... and I found it easier to drink because of that. I'm betting that's because of the additional aging in sherry casks, which 2005 did not benefit from.

You can definitely taste the bourbon-barrel aging, because it has that characteristic burn. And luckily, that burn disappears pretty quickly. But there's something in there that's just... a little too much.

I don't regret the purchase. Far from it... I'm glad to own it. It will be sipped until the bottle is empty. I don't hate it. I just don't like it as much as I thought I would.

A nice touch of heat on the backend. Ultra ultra smooth. Very well balanced.

Cask strength at 59%, and single barrel with no added sugar. Let it breethe for 5 minutes, and zip...heaven appears
