Foursquare 2008 Premise 10-Year

This is a nice smooth tasting rum to sip on while relaxing after a long day.Vanilla, fruit, oak, sherry, and brown sugar

This was the rum that made me start to explore things other then whisky. And if you like sherried whisky, I think you may really enjoy the Premise.

The nose is sherry, cola, plum jam, light pepper. The palate is cherry, oak, pepper and overall has a rich (but natural) sweetness. The finish is almond and light pepper.

Truly a fantastic rum, but as I'm nearing the end of my bottle, I have tried some other FS. This one is really good, but there are others that are slightly more complex and at at higher ABV. This is (so far) on the sweeter end of FS I've tried.

O placere!!!!
in miros se simte taria , dar mai putin decat ma asteptam ceea ce e un plus; imi pare ca simt o aroma ca de codite de cirese ) ceva putin putin dulceag si condimentat , poate putina scortisoara si ceva piper

in gust taria isi face clar prezenta dar este cumva tinuta in frau la un nivel surprinzator avand in vedere ca vorbim de un rom de 46% ; isi pastreaza ca si in miros o tenta dulceaga ; se amesteca interesant caramelul destul de puternic cu ceva vanilie, ceva condimente dar nu la fel de pregnante ca in miros. e interesant cum se desfac aromele pe limba dar si constanta arsurii. la acest rom taria nu vine in valuri ci se pastreaza constanta fara sa devina suparatoare sau neplacuta , e ca un aspresor care arunca in acelasi timp alcool si arome ).
singura care creste in intensitate este aroma de cireasa care se imbina bine spre final cu aroma puternica de caramel si alcoolul ramanand in postgust aceea usoara tenta dulceaga si acel ciudat gust de cireasa. spun ciudat pentru ca e un gust lemnos , de la butoi evident, care ma duce cu gandul mai degraba la coditele de cireasa (cum simteam si in miros )

un rom cu adevarat savuros , gustos dar extrem de scump. l am comparat in mintea mea mult timp cu plantation 20 XO si sunt cam la acelasi nivel cu un mic plus poate catre acesta (premise) care nu are zahar adaugat .

am zis si de plantation 20 XO ca este scump dar in lupta cu premise diferenta de pret e mare si n as mai cumpara poate niciodata premise in detrimentul lui plantation .
Dar am fost incantat de cunostinta ))

Smell: fruits, floral, grapes. Taste is initially lots of grapes without being particularly sweet. Followed up by more typical rum tastes and not too much oak. Overall very good, but I honestly expected more, nothing makes me think "Wow this is awesome"

Nádherná farba rumu vo vkusnej fľaške. Prvý dojem nesklamal. V chuti cítit miernu liehovost,no v chuti už prakticky vôbec,nepovedal by som ani to,že tento rum má 46%. Je neskutočne vyladený,hladký a harmonický. Plno ovocných tónov a mňa drevitost. Odporúčam na začiatok všetkým,ktorí váhajú začať s rumami Foursquare. Dal by som mu 8,5 bodu

A nice sipping rum with a hint of Sherry.
Vanilla to the nose, and some oak...
Not to sweet !

Definitely my rum style.
Extremely smooth, oak flavor and easy to drink.
Very hard to find and expensive. You have to be lucky to buy at the right price.
The Doorly´s line is a good alternative, with similar quality and cheaper.

Nice rum, excellent mouth and finish. Enjoyed the true rum flavor, what i like about Foursquare is that they produce true rum with no after flavoring. This is a mans rum, very little sweet, hints of light and dark fruits. Has similarities to whiskey and tastes best neat.

There hasn't been a Foursquare Rum I do not like. This one is one of the best sipping rums in my collection. From the first sip, it has that exceptional taste of spice, fruit, and wine. I love what Foursquare has brought to the table with this one and would recommend it over and again.

Don't get me wrong, we are talking about the pinnacle of rums, and comparing against the Zinfandel 11yo and Port 9yo that I so loved. A good dollop of sherry both on the nose and in the mouth, but I can't help but think that it might be better at 43% rather than 46%. There is an ever so slight edge of alcohol to this one.

It's good, but no where near as appealing as the Zinfandel cask.

Having had the bottle open for a wee bit longer......the 46% is fine. However, I am used to the ZInfandel cask, and this rum lacks the natural sweetness that that one has. Its hard for this rum, seeing that it is being compared directly to the brilliant Zin cask. It is a brilliant rum in its own right, just not quite as good as Foursquare can do.
