Foursquare 2008 Touchstone 14-Year

This is an amazing rum from foursquare. Very slight burn but an ice cube helps tame it. Great flavors and my sister that only drink wine and cocktails approved of it. I would buy a bottle if I could find one

Great on the nose, flavor forward with spice, cinnamon and vanilla. 122 proof, and you’ll know it. Enjoyed it better with an ice cube, and that’s something I frown upon at that price “$150”. Did not get that cognac taste I was looking for. Not saying the flavor was bad, just wasn’t what it was cracked up to be.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11-13-23. Ruby amber in color. Phenomenal aroma of butterscotch and caramel but also cognac. The flavor has raisins dates wood tobacco and leather. Thick mouth without too much finishing burn at all. Truly outstanding.

Den smager rigtig godt, men desværre bider den lidt for meget på tungen til sidst.

Combination Bourbon and cognac barels it’s Ok for me.
61% - strong alcohol kick I overcame with a little help of a small ice cube.

Tastes just like the normal ex-bourbon but with a hint of sweetness at the end (likely because of the cognac finish), feels like more burn than the foursquare ex bourbon though. Rougher than expected even if its 61%abv

So this tasting and review may admittedly be slightly biased as the conditions were incredibly optimum....which may have added to the experience. I tasted this rum while on vacation in Barbados at the FS Distillery while on a private tour with Richard Seale. This rum is amazing on its own and can stand toe to toe with the best out there (which is why I brought 5 bottles home). This bottling is part of their ecs series, which varies on casting from Bourbon, cognac, sherry, and others for flavoring. In my humble opinion, the ex-bourbon and ex-congac cask bottles always stand out as the best......and this 14 yr bottle is no different. It is very new as of this writing and most don't, can't, or won't get it yet. I'm lucky as I went straight to the source. When it is available, leaving it on the store shelf would be a mistake!
