    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the classic Foursquare profile here: coconut and vanilla on the nose with caramel and gentle wood. At 59% and 12 years in bourbon casks, it’s rich, warm, and well balanced, with dried fruit and toffee leading into a long, slightly dry finish. Often enjoyed neat after a short rest or with a splash of water. Highly rated by 152 reviewers as a reliable Barbados favorite.

    Typical Fourquare profile at a high level.Strong on caramel this time, little tropical fruit and little wood ripeness. Very nice and fine spice. Not too lush.A few drops of water do not hurt.For me one of the better FS, a good high-end sipper, but novel is something else.

    Then once again a better rum with this Foursquare. Almost everything is represented here in the nose and on the palate. Here we have some wood, a slight fruitiness thanks to coconut and, in my opinion, a little too much sweetness (vanilla and caramel).

    As I celebrate the Jamaicans, so Barbados rum must not be missing. Which would be the best choice?! Of course a Foursquare. Delicious sweet complex nose. Smooth complex taste and nice long balanced finish. I have also fallen in love with the.

    A characterful Foursquare, with a powerful, alcoholic nose marked by lively spices and a drier woodiness. Fruits (coconut, dried fruit and citrus) and notes of sugar and caramel add roundness to a rather fiery, bold profile. The attack on the palate is frank and spicy, carried by flavors of vanilla and caramel, toffee and coconut, nutmeg and chocolate, dried fruit and toast. A warm rum where the alcohol could have been a little better integrated with this strong character. The finish is drier and more astringent, with a hint of bitterness creeping in despite the deliciousness of the bourbon, coconut and caramel. Chocolate, coffee, leather and wood block out the spicy tone with a profile that's more arduous than usual. A rather taut Foursquare, with character but lacking in development and expression on the nose and palate.
