"Very good Rum from Foursquare, exactly like the 2007. Price per value is OK. You will notice the 59% for sure! The alcohol is integrated better than in the 2007, so +2 rating. Nose: Classic Barbardos. Tropical fruits, vanilla, oak, marzipan, coco, banana, Honey. On the palate: Roasted, Vanilla, Marzipan. The finish is medium long with an astringend feeling with notes of oak, vanilla."
"16.05.2023 Normally I don't do tastings during the week because I have to go to work pretty early the next day. This blind tasting just stating "Colours of Rum" just tickled my brain to say "book and participate" and I didn't regret it. It wasn't only a great experience, but we had a blast of an evening with many new faces around the table. This was a nice rum and I think the price is pretty good compared to what you get. I like the coconut in the profile. These nose is fruity and fresh. The palate is oily and spicy/warm with fruit and caramel. ABV is well integrated and the light caramel note is nice. The finish is medium to long with nice dried fruit and caramel. Nice curtains in the glass."
"Very good Foursquare with almost too much barrel influence."
"On the verge of being overpowering. Quite dry, bitter, astringent mouthfeel. Paired with the wood notes and the residual sweetness quite interesting, a rum that needs time, but then worthwhile. Interesting and definitely one of the best Barbados bottlings of the CoR series."
