"One of the best Foursquare bottlings I've had in my glass so far. Luckily I was able to get hold of the last bottle at the GRF 2023 😄 I had it in my glass again today, after a long absence from Foursquare, and it's unbelievable how delicious the rum is. An essence of the typical Foursquare profile."

"Absolute top foursquare! Perfectly integrated alcohol, great coconut caramel note, yet complex and intense! For me probably the benchmark for '98 Foursquares. Not as sweet overall as other FS."

"Very good Rum from Foursquare (the best of the three samples i got). Price per value is satisfying. You will notice the 60% for sure! Alcohol is integrated well. Nose: Classic Barbardos. Cashew nuts, Tropical fruits, vanilla, oak, marzipan, coco, banana, Honey. On the palate: Roasted, Vanilla, Marzipan, with a note of nuts, mocha and orange peal. The finish is medium long with an astringend feeling with notes of oak, vanilla, mocha and leather."

"This is one of my favourite Foursquare rums and also the one with the most beautiful coconut on the nose. Fruity with spices and roasted wood."
