The intial entry is sweet and you get a real hit of sherry. The arrival is huge and lip smacking. The ABV is very deceptive and whilst it is very intense at 62% ABV you can hold it in your mouth long enough to appreciate it. It’s not overly sweet but has a lot of rich plump fruits – blackcurrants, cranberries and some more acidic gooseberries.
The rum moves into a more complex mid palate. This is when you start to enjoy all the complex notes, created by the double maturation. This is as far as Foursquare are concerned quite a “heavy” rum. Familiar notes of vanilla are overtaken by a more sherry influenced wood. The maturation has really worked once you dig in.
The finish is long and very satisfying. Warming oak notes and sweet spice runs nicely alongside a slightly tannic almost red wine like hit of stoned fruits.
The sherry finish which may put some off is not at all overbearing. It just adds an extra layer of complexity and intensity to the rum. This isn’t as sweet as the Zinfandel and  Port Cask rums. Its much more in keeping with the 2006, Triptych and Criterion.
