Intro:
This is an 11yr Four Square sourced rum bottled by Single Cask Nation for a private society. Bottled without coloring or filtering at cask strength, this is an independent look at some Four Square distillate. Let's see how it is.
-
Nose:
Powerful vanilla. A good deal of ethanol. Cocoa, molasses and sticky cake batter. Oak is present and very evident, as well as some floral grass and melon. Nice pepper element ties things together.
-
Taste:
Medium mouth feel. Quite a bit of ethanol though, a bit punishing for the proof. Molasses, brown sugar. Very grassy, with lots of floral elements. Almost a faint spearmint note.
-
Finish:
Wisps away cleanly. The ABV is much better behaved here. Strong oak, a good deal of molasses and melon. Faint grassy character.
-
Overall:
Pretty solid overall. The heat on the palate is sort of a bummer given that this is fairly low ABV as far as 4Sqr releases are in this age range, but the showcase of flavors is awesome. The floral component is something I don’t see a lot from this producer, which is interesting and fun.
