    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this coconut-forward Foursquare: creamy vanilla and caramel glide over gentle oak, lifted by a pleasant orange note. Many call it balanced for its 58.4% cask strength and enjoyable neat, with some even preferring it to other releases. A few mention a slight metallic edge or sharper alcohol, and price debate pops up, yet with 46 reviews and growing confidence, it’s a rising community favorite.

    Tried at the 11th GRF and perhaps the secret highlight. Tasty Foursquare with character at a reasonable and fair price. No finish or barrel experiments, plus a nice and sympathetic team behind it, has me excited!

    Oh wow, super intense tropical coconut aromas on the nose. More precisely, fine coconut milk. In addition, very light and in the background banana and orange. Slowly comes a little vanilla and the wood takes over, but very subtle and rather fragrant cherry wood. I also detect a very subtle note of marzipan. Smells good. Palate: equally fruity-spicy, with coconut and orange, but first comes a tart, dry, almost metallic and slightly bitter-sour-salty thrust, which then turns into lime zest with animal currant and some oak. Then at the back again coconut with orange and still slightly metallic. Am not a ⏹️ fan, but this one is not bad.

    Nice, smooth Foursquare. Has everything you expect in a pleasant drinking strength.

    Amazingly good Foursquare!
