How does this rum taste?
Captain’s Choice Ed. 40 from Foursquare via Tres Hombres leans into lively citrus, with orange and marmalade paired alongside classic vanilla and caramel. Tasters highlight its "well integrated brandy cask influence" and “surprising grassy/grüne Note” (@RumTaTa). The nose carries wood, roasted fruits, and coconut; on the palate, it’s more on the elegant, green side with notes of passion fruit—qualities which position it a bit differently than typical Foursquare releases. Many agree the finish holds warm, spiced, and woody character, with Bourbon and vanilla shining throughout.

Tasted today with the Velier Patrimonio as a reference.Nose: A beautiful sweetness rises to me from the glass! Compared to the Patrimonio is clearly more fruit, especially citrus. Bourbon and vanilla are omnipresent.Mouth: Again the citrus, like Sicilian lemon marmalade. And typical Foursquare vanilla, bourbon and now the barrel. The Patrimonio has not so much fruitiness and more spice and barrel.Finish: The Tres Hombres has a surprising grassy / green note, and presents all the flavors even in the finish with a shifted emphasis towards spice.The Patrimonio is very similar here with an idea more spice.Great rum and m.M.n. more exciting than the Patrimonio, which is "too round" for me in direct comparison
In my opinion very well integrated brandy cask influence. Very intense - mix between orange peal, mandarins, lots of spices and some light sour dry fruits.
12.03.2021 Happy tasting at a bygone bar. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, light roasted, fruits, light coconut, faint glue, light nutts, faint caramel. Palate Warm, wood, faint smoke, fruity, pineapple, light caramel, faint chocolate, banana. Finish Medium to long, warm, wood, pineapple, light chocolate, light orange.
Interesting rum that sets itself apart from other Foursquare bottlings with fruity notes reminiscent of port wine. Alcohol could be a little better integrated.
