Tasting Notes:
“Colour: gold. Nose: a rather cakier style, perhaps a tad fatter, with more orange liqueur. With water: earth, liquorice, a little humus… This was a great cask. Mouth (neat): good! Lovely oranges with a mentholy touch plus a little cinnamon liqueur. With water: yes, excellent, tight and rich, oilier than most other Foursquares that I could try. Finish: long, superbly jammy. Marmalade and drops of mint liqueur. Less mandarins, having said that, rather oranges. Comments: superb cask! There's a purity to this one, and yet a fatness that are just perfect. Well selected, Polish friends!”
Note: 90 points
