How does this rum taste?
Focused, classic dry Foursquare
If you like other mid-aged cask strength Foursquares, this is an easy pick: same clean, toasty profile, just a bit more direct and focused rather than super complex.
Those sensitive to higher ABV, drinkers seeking very sweet or heavily fruited rums, or beginners expecting lots of complexity and evolution in the glass.

Sour-sweet tropical fruit, maybe not even really fruit, but tropical greens in vinegar. Solvent, spicy herbs. Something else I can't get out...everything revolves around fruit vinegar and varnish. The flavor is more sweet, herbs, alcohol, vinegar sourness. The aftertaste is spicy herbs infused with alcohol. Not bad, but somehow one-dimensional.
Liquid Leuven 2025 A bit one dimensional but still a very nice Foursquare.
Spontaner Vergleich zwischen dem RX15990 und dem RX50. Es sind zwar verschiedene Jahrgänge, aber wie immer bei Foursquare sind beide Abfüllungen auf einem hohen Niveau mit den typischen Geschmacksmarkern. Für mich hat der RX50 aber die Nase vorne.
I like it very much! Alcohol well integrated, typical Foursquare profile.
