    "78 points. This Foursquare is much spicier and peppery than the others that I have tasted so far. To be honest, Foursquare isn’t my favourite distillery so my notes should be taken with a grain of salt."

    "Yesterday's tasting went a bit overboard so I thin I'll only add the first 6 because we had more than one too many :-) I liked this one with a drop of water which released some additional flavours and reduced the spiciness a bit. Typical Foursquare. "

    "Nice Foursquare bottling. Overall a little harsh - (very) few drops of water greatly enhance the rum and emphasis some of the more spicy notes, adding complexity."
