“Great value for money!Nice fruity with the Foursquare typical bite, although a bit lighter and less peppery. Pleasant sweetness, but the sherry cask breaks with it a certain mustiness that becomes a bit too much for me after a certain amount.”

“Delicious rum at a very good price! Typical Foursquare professionals with caramel, roasted aromas, spices and fruits. In the mouth by the 43% very mild and easily digestible. At the same time, the flavors are not particularly intense, so a few more % would be quite good. Anyway, for beginners top.”

“Nez plutôt sympathique, doux, vanillé, facile mais engageant. En bouche, impression confirmée. C'est facile à boire et pas monolithique. Simple et facile. Mais pas dénué d'intérêt. Coco grillée très agréable. Finale boisée et vanillée. Sympa pour une première approche de la Barbade.”

“Ein ganz guter Rum. In der Nase kommen Vanille, Alkohol und Fass zum Vorschein. Im Gaumen hat man dann Vanille, Karamell, Gewürze und Fass. Schmeckt sehr mild, im Gaumen kommt der Alkohol kaum zur Entfaltung.”

“A typical rum from Barbados. Notes of dried fruits, chocolate and spices in the nose and in the mouth. A rather one-dimensional rum, which continues on the same note of roundness with a rather short finish.”

“A nice rum to sip neat. There isn't much of a Sherry influence but there is a hint on the palate. It's easy going with not much to offend. The finish is a tad peppery for my taste.”

“Now, this pretty much gives us the run of the mill foursquare profile. Unfortunately in the palate it gets too thin and to sharp. More time and more abv would probably be the solution. Nevertheless not bad just a bit lacking”

“I just had Doorlys 12 YO prior to XO and I am not sure if I am weird or everyone else, that gives 12 a higher rate, is. I will be 100% honest with you. The maturation after sherry is awesome it gave XO everything that I missed with 12YO. The sweetness, the prominent chocolate/banana taste with oak barrel/wood being suppressed to the background. With 12YO you had banana taste mixed with sour green apple all underlined by huge woody taste. This one is none of that, you get vanilla, 🍌, raisins, chocolate all underlined but not overpowered by wood/oak. For me this one is a winner and I do not care. The nose is very similar but the palate is a different story. Medium to long finish. 75/100 for me. Reaffirmation: I like XO more than 12YO. Next step is comparison with 14YO. Retasting after AM SC 2001 & 2005 and it stands right at 7.5 that is below SC versions of foursquare as they are typical barbados but they are not offering anything special such as single casks do. I still like XO a little bit more than 12 yo though.”
