    The bottling shows beautiful complexity with clear aromas of cinnamon, nut and coconut as well as a distinct vanilla note. Overall, a well-balanced rum that combines both depth and sweetness and is pleasantly rounded.

    Very, very tasty and unusually berry, caramelly fruity Foursquare! I like it extremely well. Alcohol is extremely well integrated and nicely complex and spicy with an unusual note of red pepper, ginger and cinnamon. The ginger note in particular is very intense in the finish. It reminds me most of coconut cinnamon macaroons 🤤. Recently I've also noticed some nice herbal and honey notes, really a nice unusual Foursquare!

    A really complex and interesting cask. Super selection of Cave Guildive! the typical Foursquare is expanded by a lot of flowery meadows. It is still easy sipping. But i do have to say i would like FS much if they all where like this. Also a super Cave Guildive type of Rum.

    Absolutely brilliant Foursquare. Beautiful aromas of wood, barrel and oak on the nose. Toffee and a creamy taste are added on the palate. In any case, this rum is very cool and the price is justified.
