    How does this rum taste?

    Praised by RumX members for balance, value, and a classic Barbados profile, this 10‑year Foursquare release layers vanilla and oak over roasted wood and dried fruit. The 46% is smooth and well‑integrated, with nutty, peppery warmth and a medium‑long, slightly dry finish. Enjoyed neat or as a Bajan cocktail base, it’s a popular, strong‑confidence pick among 100+ reviews—though some find the nose restrained or intensity modest.

    This 10yo rum from Mr. Richard Seale is in my opinion one of the most iconic products from Foursquare with its cult, pirate styled, bottle. First it appeared in a 43% version and then came this so called export proof version at 46%. Nowadays there’s also a 12yo version, but unfortunately not for sale in the EU. Hopefully I can get one when I will visit Barbados in the near future. It’s as many Foursquare releases a blend of column- and pot still rum that’s aged for minimum 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels. The nose is very pleasant, spicy, sweet and woody with scents of vanilla, chocolate, cocoa and notes of caramel, oak, nutmeg and bourbon. At the palate it’s balanced, complex, fruity, spicy, woody with a slight dryness and flavors of vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, chocolate, cocoa, black currant and some hints of coconut and oak. The finish is rather long, nutty, spicy and dry with flavors of almonds and cinnamon. Overall a complex rum without being too demanding, a real classic Bajan rum.

    A little disappointing... I was expecting a complex and typical rum of the Barbados. In reality its notes are closer to a Hispanic and it is rather light aromatically. A turnip

    8,1:On the nose, it is balanced, the different aromas complementing each other beautifully. Raisins, honey, banana, an intense peach, a fine woodiness as well as light notes of orange make up its profile. The whole thing is dry. 8:On the palate the balance is also present since the alcohol is well dosed. Orange, peach dominate here and light notes of banana, coconut, caramel, tobacco appear. Smooth it is. 8:The finish is relatively long. It is wooded, fruity and dry (increasingly so). After a moment, light tobacco notes appear.

    Classic Barbados rum with strong barrel notes. The nose does not reveal too much, but on the palate a lot of caramel and toffee. Long finish. Beautiful drop but less complex than expected
