Foursquare 2004

Excellent sipping rum. Stands up to most bourbons.

Cognac in the nose. New oak throughout. Unsweetened molasses depth. Chestnuts. Quality warming finish.

Sweet, but balanced. Notes of orange and sugar. Minimal burn. Easily the best of the Foursquare dated releases and my favorite of any offering they have had. 2005 pales in comparison as it is dominated by charred oak, whereas the 2004 provides enough oak to contribute to the profile without being overbearing. If you like the 2007, you will most likely love the 2004 so track a bottle down if you are able.
