Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.11.2025 Retasting while watching a Danish tv series about the police and their work. ---------- This one has a heavy nose and palate compared to the 2004, which I consider more light and delicate. Very robust and in your face compared to both 2004 and 2005. The bourbon barrels are very obvious in this version and definitely something that bourbon fans will like.
Review by Joachim Guger
Typical Fourquare profile at a high level.Strong on caramel this time, little tropical fruit and little wood ripeness. Very nice and fine spice. Not too lush.A few drops of water do not hurt.For me one of the better FS, a good high-end sipper, but novel is something else.
Review by Timo Groeger
Then once again a better rum with this Foursquare. Almost everything is represented here in the nose and on the palate. Here we have some wood, a slight fruitiness thanks to coconut and, in my opinion, a little too much sweetness (vanilla and caramel).
Review by Sebastian Kornett
As I celebrate the Jamaicans, so Barbados rum must not be missing. Which would be the best choice?! Of course a Foursquare. Delicious sweet complex nose. Smooth complex taste and nice long balanced finish. I have also fallen in love with the.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, toasted wood notes like butterscotch, nuts, leather, spicy with baking spices, fresh, grassy molasses, slightly vegetal, banana and coconut, metallic patina, some glue, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is herbaceous, sweet with honey, dried apricots, raisins and citrus fruits arise, vanilla, milk and white chocolate, toffee. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is round, balanced with sweet toasted oak notes like caramel, nuts, toffee, leather, burnt sugar, dark and milk chocolate, spicy with baking spices, fruity with coconut, dried apricots, raisins, citrus fruits, banana and pineapple, as the molasses is flowery, dark with black tea. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, with toasted oak notes, spicy, nutty, dried fruits, coconut and earthy molasses with cigar tobacco and pencil shavings..
Review by TheRhumhoe
A characterful Foursquare, with a powerful, alcoholic nose marked by lively spices and a drier woodiness. Fruits (coconut, dried fruit and citrus) and notes of sugar and caramel add roundness to a rather fiery, bold profile. The attack on the palate is frank and spicy, carried by flavors of vanilla and caramel, toffee and coconut, nutmeg and chocolate, dried fruit and toast. A warm rum where the alcohol could have been a little better integrated with this strong character. The finish is drier and more astringent, with a hint of bitterness creeping in despite the deliciousness of the bourbon, coconut and caramel. Chocolate, coffee, leather and wood block out the spicy tone with a profile that's more arduous than usual. A rather taut Foursquare, with character but lacking in development and expression on the nose and palate.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Fabulous nose! Coconut and vanilla come immediately to my mind, then banana and honey follow... In the mouth it's greedy, it's pastry, but above all it's good! I love it and I don't know much about Foursquare...
Review by Paul Christiaens
Verdict: this is an easy rum, quite well made, and nothing bad. It just doesn't have the wow factor for me. It's very much whisky like. 81 points Nose: coconut milk, wood, vanilla, yellow fruit, orange, light glue, honey. Palate: sweet, oily, honeyed, woody and oak (vanilla). Plenty of orange, white tobacco, coconut. Finish: medium, sweet and slight acidic, mainly on orange and oak, just a hint of pepper, white tobacco, yellow fruit.
Review by Tim
Im Vergleich zum 2008 und 2009 ist dieser Rum auf der weicheren Seite: mehr Frucht, mehr Toffee, weniger Gewürze und Leder, was aber trotzdem ein elementarer Bestandteil des Profils bleibt. Auch das trockene Mundgefühl bleibt eher verdeckt und man erhält eine gute Balance aus Holz, Schokolade, Karamell und Frucht.
Review by Rodolphe
A must-have for any fan of Barbados. What's more, the price is (or was) quite affordable.
Review by Skyfly
Ab dem Öffnen des Samples riecht man Vanille und Kokosnuss, welche einen bis zum Abgang begleiten. Holz, Trockenfrüchte, leichte Gewürze und Milchschokolade kommen im Gaumen richtig gut zur Geltung. Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Eine halbe Stunde sollte er aber zum Atmen bekommen
Review by Christian Rudt
Foursquare simply offers very good quality year after year - the 12-year-old vintages like this are the perfect example. It doesn't knock your socks off but it's great quality where you can't go wrong 😋
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Much more blend than most other exceptional casks. Good rum but go for the 2004 instead that's much better.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Woody and intense at first, but once you let it sit in the glass for 30-60 minutes it starts to open up nicely. On the nose: Vanilla, coconut, woody notes with nice banana and caramel notes. Hints of toffee on the background and some dried fruits. I absolutely love the sweetness level on this one and its Foursquare, so of course its balanced. Bourbon barrel influence is there, but this one was quite rich on the nose. Taste:Woody and vanilla notes at first. Coconut notes. Caramel notes than take the profile to a sweeter side. Then you get some dark cholate notes that take over the palate Nicely round and balanced. Finish: Very woody and dry, maybe even slightly bitter compared to taste profile. Light coconut notes at the background. Some chocolate notes. Medium finish. I really liked this one. Good level of sweetness and the palate was little bit richer than typical ex-bourbon cask rums.
Review by Michal S
Aroma a bit more interesting than taste, classic Foursquare profile (coconut, vanilla, wood). Very good rum.
