Tasting Notes:
“This baby was aged in the tropics for 5 years, then in Mother Europe. Colour: gold. Nose: typical, dense on the one side, lighter and more columny on the other side. Good easy pastries, with vanilla and the Frenchest croissants. With water: cornflakes. It's to be wondered if this wasn't 100% ex-column FS. Mouth (neat): the columny, lighter side of Foursquare feels first at such high strength, I would suppose the more oily parts need water and oxygen to shine out. In other words, the strongest, the lightest. Pancake sauce and jelly babies. With water: no, it's really light, easy, sweet, on cereals, Fruit Loops… Finish: medium, sweet and rather thin. Comments: one of the lightest Foursquares I've tried. Very good drop, but I wouldn't say there is much backbone. Not a proper malternative, in any case“
Note: SGP:530 - 80 points.
