“Rich, complex, balanced Foursquare; subtle sweet, woody with smooth alcohol.”

The "Triptych" is a limited edition rum from the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, distilled from Molasses, with only 5400 bottles produced by independent bottler Velier. This 12-year-old rum has a 56% ABV and combines both Pot and Column Still distillation. Tasters describe the aroma as having notes of vanilla, coconut, caramel, oak, and woodiness. The flavor is characterized by woodiness, dried fruit, spiciness, vanilla, and coconut. RumX users appreciate its balance and complexity, with some stating it's one of the best Foursquare rums they've ever tasted. While most find it a solid and distinctive Foursquare rum, a minority pointed out that it could be less complex or too woody for their taste. Overall, this rum offers a unique profile with notes of Madeira cask and Virgin oak, making it an enjoyable experience for those who love Barbadian rums.

“Very good, but due to the proportion of the blend from the Virgin Oak, this rum needs a lot of time in the glass to put down the pungent smell. Once it unfolds, you have a nice semi-complex Foursquare.”

“Very good foursquare! The alcohol is integrated sooo well, but the oak tastes are everywhere and have an high impact! Not much left of the impact of the madeira barrel.”

“Solider foursquare und schöne rote Frucht note durchs Ex Madeira Fass, dazu Milchschokolade, insgesamt aber relativ wenig von der typischen Kokos Banane Note dafür mehr geröstete Nüsse, Kräuter, Waldhonig und Tannennadeln. Das Virgin oak ist mir persönlich dann doch etwas zu dominant! Lecker aber nicht outstanding.”

“Spannendes Tasting. Und insgesamt auch sehr lecker, wenn auch für mich nicht ganz so lecker wie viellicht der Ruf der Foursquare/Velier Abfüllungen ist. Beim Triptych war mir der Holzeinfluss wesentlich zu dominant. Positive Erinnerungen an Kinderschokolade kamen durch. Beim Patrimonio Assoziationen in der Nase zu indischem Korma und Wassermelone. Aber scharfkantig und trocken. Principa fand ich erst sehr geil. Schöne Fruchtkomponenten und dennoch FS-DNA. Aber im Abgang ist mit der Alkohol zu bissig. Sassafras gefällt mit gut. Plenipotenzario sticht für mich mit Komplexität heraus. Sehr geil. Aber klarer Überflieger ist der Destino. Fruchtig, harmonisch, komplex und sehr lecker! Aus meiner Erinnerung auch einen Ticken besser als der 2006. Ob er das Geld wert ist, dass man heute zur Hand nehmen muss bezweifle ich jedoch.”
