How does this rum taste?
- very healthy balance even for Foursquare
- nice plus in some varnish in the nose
- full bodied rum with fruit vanilla
Community tasting of Foursquare’s Private Cask Selection Diadem reveals a classic Barbados rum profile—full-bodied vanilla, dried and tropical fruits, and a noticeable hit of varnish. Oak comes through on nose and palate, with some tasters picking up marzipan and chocolate in the finish. As DomM puts it, "finish is intense and on the brink of overwhelming," while cigares notes, "vernis et les fruits tropicaux bondissent hors du verre." The well-integrated alcohol and subtle sweetness win points, though some wish for more edge, suggesting it’s a solid, drinkable Foursquare, if not the boldest ECS outing.

"Foursquare auf normalem Niveau. Schöne Vanille Noten. Wirklich nicht schlecht, auch etwas Gebäck, das sich am Gaumen entwickelt. Schön dann im Abgang. Flasche bräuchte ich jetzt aber nicht unbedingt eine davon. Dennoch ein guter Warm Up für die Village heute Abend."
"As you would expect, a Foursquare at a consistently high level. In my opinion, it fits in well with the previous ECS bottlings without really breaking out at the top or falling off at the bottom."
"Varnish and tropical fruit leap out of the glass. Bitter almond marzipan, infused bourbon vanilla.the alcohol is well integrated on the palate and the aromas from the nose appear in the right order.the finish is long with vanilla dessert.you shouldn't sulk your pleasure. A rum that has it all, drinkability and fruitiness. It could do with a little more dirt to deepen its aromas and put it in the big league. Even slightly better than the Empery."
"Another wonderful rum from Foursquare. A bottle and sample hard to find, but if you do you have to try. The nose is fruity with oak and vanilla and in the back there's some varnish/polish. The palate is complex and lightly sweet. A full bodied rum with fruit vanilla and some peppery notes. The oak is also represented like in the nose. The finish is long with roasted oak and a hint of vanilla and chocolate. The glass the day after is even better on the nose. "
