Has anyone tried any of the Papa's Pilar offerings? Saw an ad and it looks interesting.

It's a sweeter rum, lots of added sugar after. The purists will tell you it is 100% garbage, I like the flavor for a change of pace. I believe it's matured in sherry casks to give it a lighter and sweeter finish on top of the added sugar.

Thanks man. They have a bourbon barrel finished bottle that may be interesting enough for the $42 price tag.

Holy **** the Nobiliary Foursquare release is tasty. I think it's equal if not better than the '19 GTS release.

Having a pour of Foursquare Hereditas tonight. I'd forgotten how great it is.

Have one of those I still need to open. Sounds like I found a first pour for the new house when I move in a few weeks

I'm not a rum drinker, and I don't think this is high end, but I'm curious if anyone finds it a decent buy..

Plantation pineapple stiggins fancy rum

Pretty quality pour for a flavored spirit. Makes a good old fashioned and plays well in cocktails

It is, indeed, very sugary. Too much for me, truthfully. I prefer to mix it to cut down the sweetness. I'll drink the mess sweet stuff neat.

I received some on accident. I actually rather enjoy it. They take a more meticulous approach to adding the pineapple rind and fruit, rather than just flavoring at the end, and I think the result has a good flavor that doesn't taste artificial. I was also worried that it would be too sweet for my taste, but it's really not.

Sometimes I'll mix it 50/50 with something more full bodied like Appleton 12 in a rum fashioned and it works really well.

Bought my first high end rum yesterday, Foursquare 2007. Had a pour last night and all I can say is wow. I'm a fan.

Having a Sagacity tonight. It's good but not my favorite Foursquare.

I really like that 08. Very good stuff.
I bought a 07 but haven't opened it yet- got a Premise at the same time and started on that one instead.

Premise may be my favorite finished FS. I haven't cracked my 2008 yet, but it's going to be hard to beat 2007. In a side by side with 2004, 2007 blew it away for me.

I have a 2007 and a 2008 and both are amazing.

Premise is good but I like either the port or zin cask better
CactusThomas

Really enjoying the Premise and 08. Still haven't opened 07. Need a third bottle of Sagacity to compare it side by side to Premise.

At this point I will buy any bottle I see in this series that I haven't tried before.

My 07 is almost empty and it was the last bottle at the store I purchased it. Hoping the Stars give me a reason to kill it this week...

Keep your eyes out for Detente then.

Should be soon in US distro, bourbon and port aging

Picked up some Doctor Bird this weekend and just poured some to sip on. Good enough on its own, but this is definitely going to shine in a Daiquiri or similar

Keep your eyes open for Detente - Foursquare ECS. Should be hitting US shelves in the next week.

Also - Mount Gay has an ultra premium Post Cask Expression coming out that is only releasing about 2100 bottles in the US.


If you happen to find one in DFW, please let me know!

Checked the shelf today at a few places that are known to have ECS, no joy yet.

The wait continues.

Did pick up a delicious Neisson Reserve Speciale, Appleton 12, and Probitas for Daiquiris.

I've seen Kansas and Missouri so far oddly enough.

Not in WA and had a friend check Chicago as well with no luck.

Probitas makes a very good daiquiri if a tad plain

Bump Detente is in Austin.

Oak Liquor Cabinet posted they got some in for anyone in that area.
