Les Rhums du Sud Foursquare Barbados Pure Single Rum
Owners keep coming back to how much rum you get here for a Foursquare single cask. Coconut leads hard on the nose — the "coco ultra dominante" a few tasters flag — alongside vanilla, cream toffee and a little wood glue. It drinks soft at first, then a spice explosion hits: black pepper, nutmeg, ginger. At 61.2% the heat shows, but the finish runs long and fruity into raisin and date.
The community says- Dominant coconut
- Big spice punch
- But: Hot at 61%

Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Coconut-forward cask-strength Foursquare Most owners land on a real Bajan treat — coconut-and-vanilla gourmand with surprising complexity for the proof. The only recurring gripe is a finish that ends a touch short.

Guillaume de Roany and “Les Rhums du Sud” selected a barrel, vintage 2008, from the Barbadian Foursquare distillery. Whereafter they sailed it to Europe and bottled 412 bottles at ABV 61,2%. Overall a delicious rum that can’t disappoint anyone liking Bajan rums.

Solid Foursquare without much fanfare. This can be seen positively, because quality is of course present - but viewed differently, it is also very interchangeable.

Wow, ein richtig klasse Foursquare hier. Hätte ich nicht gedacht. Jedenfalls eine schöne eichige Nase mit schönen Vanilllenoten. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch Nuss und dunkle Schokolade hinzu. Ein sehr leckerer Rum :-)
Review by MJ97
On the nose, drier, more solvent/wood glue with more alcohol. On the palate, the wood glue comes through strongly and it's an explosion of spices (pepper / nutmeg / ), stinging on the tongue and oral cavity. A firework display of spices and aromas. Medium-long finish, the palate becomes pasty (not very pleasant), with wood and spices coming through. We're less sure about the gourmand aspect.
Review by John Coffey
A superb nose... Pity the explosion of spices on the palate... And a little too much alcohol... Great value for money though... Bravo to this bottler
Review by ElReyTristan
Nez en plein dans le Foursquare, on retrouve une coco ultra dominante avec les arômes de vanille, de caramel et de crème caramel de dessert. C’est hyper gourmand et on a pas du tout la sensation qu’on va s’attaquer à un rhum de plus de 60%. Doux en première bouche puis ça attaque fort on retrouve les notes de coco du nez. Plus sèche et moins fraîches. Un peu plus de piquant, de poivre noir et de piment. Fond de bouche sur les fruits secs, raisins secs et dates. C’est sacrément complexe. Bien plus doux au nez qu’un bouche, finale un poil courte dommage. Mais très belle complexité.
Review by Pavel Peknica
Hodně silný, ale chuť za to stoji. Max. 1 pulka.
Review by Benoit CHATEL
Très belle réussite !! Rhum gourmand comme on les aime. Finale un peu courte.
