    "Love the online tasting with Angus and the other RumX participants. This is a very easy drinkable Barbados rum. Very smooth, almost silky on the palate with some fruit and spices. The empty glass is really nice and reveals some chocolate and raisin. Love the funny label they chose 😊"

    "Great combination of fruity and herbal associations. Almost a bit medicinal. The typical Foursquare coconut note is rather discreet in the background. Quite dry and spicy on the palate. Very pleasant drinking strength.After 30 minutes in the air, a great complexity unfolds."

    "Overall not a typical Foursquare in my opinion with its funkiness and medicinal tastes. The nose is fruity and medicinal with notes of wood, vanilla and apricot. At the palate it’s funky, medicinal, fruity and spicy with notes of rubber, vanilla and salt."

    "Very relaxed Foursquare with notes of citrus fruits! Everything else is there too: Fruitiness, spice, wood and notes of dark chocolate. I like it very much!"
