    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise its classic Foursquare profile: vanilla, coconut and caramel wrapped in bourbon oak and lively spice. At 59% it drinks balanced, with alcohol well integrated and a long, warm finish. The nose shows woody, chocolate and dried-fruit hints, and it opens up with time in the glass. Highly rated by 158 reviewers, this limited release is a go-to sipper for fans of dry, cask-strength Barbados rum.

    A great one, this distillery never disappoints me.

    Really good vintage representative. Much influence bom ex-bourbon cask, which suits Foursquare well and results in abundant vanilla, chocolate, pepper, allspice and caramel notes. Very good representative of the archetypal Foursquare profile.

    In the smell, the typical Foursquare forward tones of glue and solvent and banana. In the taste then a lot of flavor like a grilled banana. Suseer toffee and roasted aromas with banana nests. The 59 percent is a perfect match. Unfortunately, the prices for such a bottling are rising. But you should still try it

    Spontaneous comparison between the RX15990 and the RX50. They are different vintages, but as always with Foursquare, both bottlings are at a high level with the typical flavor markers. For me, however, the RX50 has the edge.
