gurgalunas Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That is a great price. I've never seen the limited edition... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshleffar Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 At a price less than Mount Gay XO, I prob would've grabbed multiple myself. I like foursquare, I also tend to think some of the LE are overpriced for what they are, but not at that price! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, you really ought to think about picking up a few of the LE 12- I'm pretty sure that price is an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCwhammie Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I got my first bottle of Foursquare today. I tried it at a restaurant a few months ago and really enjoyed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurgalunas Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The 2005 is the best I've tried this far. Better than 2004, Zin Cask, Premise, havent opened Dominus yet. I prefer the Bajan rums at this point I my taste journey. Jamaicans are solid too, but the Foursquare and Mount Gay definitely are my preference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven’t sat down to do a SBS with the 2004 and 2005 yet, but the first time I had the 2005 I thought that too, but now I’m not so sure. Regardless of which one is your favorite, they are both very good rums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a SBS with the 2004 and 2005 and agree the 2005 is much hotter. It really surprised me as I was expecting them to be more similar and, if anything, for the 2005 to be smoother with the extra year of age. I was disappointed, however, I’ve had it a few times since then and have really enjoyed it. Whether on its own or with the 2004, now that I know it’s there I can enjoy its punch in the mouth. Sometimes you just want something raw and this fills the bill. I have several bottles of each and can enjoy them both for their uniqueness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonNit Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Picked this up today. I’m really digging, fruit and caramel on the nose, really well balanced. At just under four years I’d obviously prefer a few more years but not much. It’s a single barrel, appears to aged in new oak barrels, at 94.6 proof, think I’ll buy more.It even has one of those tacky barrel stickers, this one being a Spongebob crabby patty restaurant.

HoustonNit Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Picked this barrel pick up today of Clement. Had high expectations but pretty disappointed. It’s not bad but not a whole lot going on and tastes it’s age. Too bad, I had another rhum agricole from JM similar age that I enjoyed a lot more. If this had at least six years I’m sure it would be great. I’m think it might be interesting to blend with something like 12yr Doorly’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Tot Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The Velier is too heavy on an unbalanced Caroni profile. Thought I was going to love it but I won't be buying another. The Rasta Morris is a monster bottle - but at a monster price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
