“Complex, balanced, collector's delight.”

The Foursquare 2006 Rum, a collaboration between Velier and Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, is a limited release of only 2,400 bottles, distilled from molasses in pot and column stills. Aged for ten years, three in ex-Bourbon and seven in ex-Cognac barrels, this rum boasts a complex profile. It presents rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit, with flavors of licorice, oak, and chocolate on the palate. Despite its high 62% ABV, it remains notably balanced. Users appreciate its layered depth, though availability is scarce, and prices are high. This unique offering is cherished by collectors and enthusiasts alike for its remarkable quality and craftsmanship.

“Edit: The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately it has not yet been possible to get a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear. Franconian Tasting Gang goes Tiki For me, the BEST Foursquare I've had in a glass. A BIG THANK YOU to Jakob for giving me the rest of the "small" sample. I would just like to know if the Destino can top this bottling.”

“Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.”

“By far this is one of the best Foursquare's I have tried! It's just so deliciously balanced. It's laid back Barbados but its so well assembled! Fruits, vanilla, milk chocolate and caramel blend in so well to make one heck of a dram. Definitly a step up for me. It is mainly a collectors bottle these days, they are worth a lot of money if you can find it! Fortunately I got my bottle in 2019 when the pricing was still half realistic. Just a great rum to try. A medium to long finish.”

“Overall a fantastic first release of a Foursquare by Velier, no wonder this collaboration continued. We were some friends teaming up at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm to celebrate Foursquare Appreciation Day. After our planned tasting of four different Foursquare ECS’s led by our friend the Swedish importer, Lars Renbjer, we went on with two Foursquare Velier releases. Secondly out was the 2006 the 1st rum in the collaboration between Luca Gargano of Velier and Richard Seale of Foursquare. It’s a blend of molasses based rum from Copper double retort pot still and Coffey column still distilled in 2006. It’s tropical aged for ten years of which three years were in ex-Bourbon barrels and the following seven in ex-Cognac barrels.”

“A very gripping Foursquare on the nose with the usual Barbados notes: tropical fruits, dried fruits and berries mingle with vanilla wood, chocolate, sweet spices and a touch of tobacco and varnish embellish this very greedy and expressive profile. The mouth is powerful and intense, oily and warm, true to the spirit of Foursquare. The alcohol is present, but quite well integrated. We find the same roundness and aromas of the nose and the palate on a long and delicate finish. A delicious and well-balanced Foursquare, which was at a very good quality/price ratio at its release, but which is now a victim of speculation at a level beyond the reasonable.”

“One of the better Foursquares. Very round and elegant, lovely caramel notes in addition to wood, vanilla and milk chocolate. But not worth the price off admission as this bottle is overpriced on todays market.”

“In the nose, we have a sensation of heat, despite the aeration the 62° do not pass totally unnoticed. It is greedy with caramel, vanilla and dried fruits. A touch of milk chocolate appears. From the entrance in mouth we see that we have to deal with a thick and oily rum. We keep the caramel and the dry reasons. It is all and very pleasant. The finish is on sweet spices and caramel. A nice Foursquare, greedy and whose texture is really very pleasant. Maybe a slight reduction would have made it fabulous.”

“The disappointment of the evening ... find the notes from the cognac barrel unconvincing (va raisin for me), and find both the wood of the 2008 ECS and the coconut of the ECS 2009 better rums. But the alcohol integration is insane, so really perfect!”

“I'm finally tasting this famous Foursquare 2006. No surprise on the nose with round and woody notes. It feels slighlty too dry in my opinion. Palate is complex and way better balanced with a rather similar profile. A very nice rum ! An easy sipper for sure 😋”
