The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Foursquare Sample X Foursquare Distillery 2007
Made for Foursquare regulars who already know the house style and just want a good single cask of it. Thirteen years in ex-bourbon gives coconut, vanilla, caramel and milk chocolate, with peppery spice and a whiff of glue and polish. Tasters call it a clean, "easy sipper" — round and tasty, if a bit familiar. Comfortable rather than surprising.
The community says- Classic FS profile
- Long chocolatey finish
- A bit predictable

How does The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Foursquare Sample X Foursquare Distillery 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Classic, spicy Foursquare single cask Most tasters see a well-made, classic Foursquare — coconut, caramel, dark chocolate and pepper. The common gripe: it's good but predictable, with a couple finding the alcohol and spice a touch loud.

Today a comparison between two Foursquare: 1st Sample X (Kintra) Single Cask, 59.8%: A decent Foursquare. Easy sipper with the well-known typical Foursquare aromas. 2nd Ferroni Barbade 2012 63.4%: Typical Ferroni, very intense. All the aromas of the previously mentioned Foursquare are also present here, only much more intense. The alcohol is unfortunately not very well integrated, but this one is still fun.

I just retasted this one today and wow it's good. I love when the lips are tingling and mouth and throat is warm when sipping. I will need to get a backup bottle for myself and I will add it to my tastings as a joker.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great Foursquare at the level of the standard ECS Vintage Range. Reasonable PLV with available purchase options, despite the single cask with 290 bottles.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 On retrouve les caractéristiques typiques de Foursquare, chêne Bourbon, huile de coco, caramel vanillé et chocolat au lait, chocolat pimenté mais aussi quelques subtilités qui définissent cette sélection, notamment une délicate note florale de lavande et une gourmandise de nougat. Il est complété par un versant fruité d'orange confite, de cerise aigre et de fruits secs. Un peu de colle et de polish. Alcool assez vif et intense sans que cela soit dérangeant. Un nez agréable qui aurait mérité un peu plus de complexité. 😋 Eau de vie de raisins, fruits secs, noix de coco grillée, banana bread. Puis, beaucoup de présence du fût de chêne, épices, chocolat, vanille cuite, bâton de cannelle, caramel beurré, profil Bourbon. Une bouche assez alcooleuse, un profil sec, sombre aussi, assez gourmand mais pas très complexe. ⛳ Longue, chaude, pimentée, amère, sèche. Chêne rôti, caramel chaud, épices (poivre, vanille), chocolat, quelques fruits secs. Elle dure vraiment longtemps sur ce côté chocolat noir pimenté. Un bon point. 💡 Un Foursquare relativement typique avec quelques petites subtilités qui le différencie des nombreux ECS et embouteillages Velier. Pour un prix aux alentours de 70€, c'est un bon RQP.
Review by Jakob
Nice, round Foursquare with clear sweetness of caramel and vanilla, which, however, never tips into the "sticky". Recognizable spice and discreet alcohol provide a harmonious counterbalance to this. Classic profile with high sweetness, but without great complexity. Nevertheless, a successful bottling.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
On the nose, it's woody (13 years of ageing, you can tell), with peppery spices and freshly grated nutmeg. There's also something heavier, resinous (glue, varnish). But this is still Foursquare, so there's coconut, chocolate, banana and vanilla. It's a pretty attractive and concentrated nose, but it's a little known and recognized on Foursquare. On the palate, it's very gourmand, spicy but not too spicy. Lots of sweetness with dried fruit, dark chocolate and tobacco. Fruits are also present : p
Review by Joachim Guger
Typical Foursquare in the usual quality. This one is a touch more caramel and very spicy. A very good rum on a well-trodden path. If you want a Fourquare with a good PLV, this is the right choice.
Review by Johannes
As with FS most- good and nice, does not hurt, but somehow something is missing....
Review by Tom Buteneers
I don't know if the 91 points are entirely correct, but I rate it just a little higher than the ECS 2008 (90 points) which I find a little more bitter than this one. Maybe I should take the 2008 back in and compare again from there....
Review by Jacques etdom
Foursquare classique sur la vanille, le caramel et un peu de coco. Les épices sont très (trop) présentes, l alcool n est pas très bien intégré, mais le plus dérangeant, un côté parfum en bouche, que je n apprecie pas du tout et qui gâche tout.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Typical FS nose: the glueish nose/grain whisky. Pretty good but also as expected so also a bit boring because FS is standard good/great. Pretty active cask.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
I could suggest it is nice classic Foursquare rum matured in ex bourbon barrels. Nothing special here, just round, classic expression with high ABV. Nice sipper, but there are lots of alternatives to this…
