Foursquare Empery

Overripe fruit, vanilla, burnt sugar, and ethanol are some of the key aromas. This is a silky, fully coating rum. It has a strong essence of flambeed dessert or vanilla custard and flan. These play alongside fruity notes, but they are dark and strong like overripe banana.

Mother of God this is possibly the best rum ever created. I don't understand the other ratings at all. It is a polygamist marriage of rum, bourbon, sherry, and armagnac and it is glorious.

The aroma of this rum is highly impacted by the higher alcohol content. Some sweet molasses taste in the palate, but quick burn after. I tried with a little water, and it was much better.

Nose is bourbon and alcohol. It has the sherry sweetness to it and dark fruit. Damn, the flavor, it's bourbon-strong! Too much for my tastes. It has light sherry overtones but still a strong alcohol burn in the finish. Rating is based on neat sipping.
