Foursquare Détente

Really complete toasty, brown sugary rum. Kinda shameful to mix as well as sip, but it's a damn sturdy mixer, so sue me 😳

Really solid aged rum... spicy, sweet, spiced, leathery. Perfect to sip but actually mixable too.

Nose - citrusy molasses, strawberry, grass, salted caramel, pineapple, grape, cherry, floral notes, raspberry, pink lemonade, allspice, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - grassy molasses, strawberry, raspberry, pineapple, white pepper, lemon pith, orange zest, clove, allspice, mint, caramel, cola, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with sweet molasses, jammy red fruit, and citrus flavors. Here we have the port-finished counterpart to the sherried Premise release. Both are 10 Year products, with Detente being bottled at a slightly higher 51% ABV. The port influence is front and center. The standard bittersweet Foursquare molasses note is present, but jammy red fruits dominate the nose and palate on this one. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, even some pink lemonade are easily identifiable. Overall this is delicious rum, but as with Premise, it’s not my favorite Foursquare profile. It’s sweeter than their more traditional offerings, but certainly not cloying like the additive-laced rums can be. At $75 a bottle, I think this is a solid value. However, I’ll continue to reserve my money for the older, strictly ex-bourbon releases, as they’re generally more my speed. Another big thank you to @ContemplativeFox for the generous sample!

Very good

Really complex. Very port-y. Would love to drink it by itself (opposed to the group of 6 I tried this with).
