How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy the classic Foursquare‑style coconut, caramel and young wood and praise the price. Critics find it thin, a bit boozy and short. Overall, a solid, mixer‑focused Barbados rum.
If you like light, classic Barbados profiles and mostly mix drinks, this is a safe, budget-friendly pick—just don’t expect big complexity or a long finish neat.
Seasoned enthusiasts chasing depth and long finishes, or anyone expecting a complex Foursquare-style sipper rather than a straightforward, mixer-friendly bottling.

Very nice quality in terms of price. Highly remcommend for all your mixing needs.
What a sipper with super PLV. The label basically says it all; caramel, young wood and coconut - with varying degrees of intensity from nose to finish. After 30 minutes of resting, the nose is still slightly citrusy; dried fruit is permanently present. A great starter rum!
#5246 16.04.2025 Tasting with Fabian in Blåvand. Nose Fresh, fruity, light citrus, faint coconut, light caramel, light wood, faint roasted, light raisin. Palate Light oily, faint wood, fruity, light caramel, faint citrus, light pineapple, light caramel. Finish Medium to long, warm, light oily, light wood, light coconut, light caramel. Needs to rest for a while or hand warm it to really open up and settle the ABV.
Ich vermute mal ganz stark foursquare 😉 Die Nase ist nicht überzeugend, neben Holz und ein bisschen Nuss ist da vor allem Alkohol. Aber vollkommen egal, da der Alkohol auf der Zunge einfach nur weg is und ein typisches foursquare Profil zum Vorschein kommt. Nicht weltbewegend, aber gut. Kontinentale Reifung hat dann aber doch nicht so den Körper. Passt trotzdem ! Guter sipper.
