How does this rum taste?
Textbook coconut‑vanilla Foursquare sipper
If you already like standard Foursquare or bourbon cask rums, this is a dialed-up, older, coconut-forward version that keeps things classic rather than crazy, just with more power and depth.
Beginners or anyone sensitive to alcohol heat, plus drinkers looking for very funky, experimental profiles or sweeter, dosed rums.

Tasted blind with some other Foursquare bottlings. Overall, for me the most rounded Foursquare with the classic profile and a pronounced coconut note. A slightly floral note on the palate, which I particularly notice in the 2005 bottlings. The alcohol is very well integrated. Still for me a picture book Foursquare without rough edges.
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024. A lively nose with pastry notes, young wood and bitter caramel. A soft entry on the palate, then marked by alcohol, fruit and caramel. The finish is short, with lots of caramel. A pleasantly lively and vigorous rum, a little too marked by caramel for my taste.
Then probably the last good rum for today :-( In any case, a really very good rum. The nose is very fruity, but vanilla and caramel are also recognizable. Also vanilla and caramel on the palate, as well as some coconut.
