Convinces with a sensational price-performance ratio. Despite being noticeably diluted, the rum is comparatively complex. Despite the expected mint/menthol and euchalyptus notes, it offers beautiful aromas of citrus fruits, light spice and subtle oak, which unfold unexpectedly harmoniously. I like it very much, as it shows more depth than the moderate alcohol content initially suggests.
#7237 30.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. Atypical Barbados with a very nice kick to it. The C1 is very light in comparison. Fruity and lightly spicy with nice caramel and roasted wood and a touch of pepper. I like these Foursquare that run off a bit. Needs time in the glass though 😊 Price to quality is very good in my mind. This is a rum that will split waters!
Delicious and a lot of tropical fruit. Vanilla is coming through in this one and it sticks for a while. A super rum to sit and sip with your friends. A very good beginners rum in my mind,
17.11.2023 Another retasting and I still think that price to quality is pretty good. ---------- #4116 First off, the price to quality is very good in my mind. A fruity rum with nice balance in wood and spices. The palate is warm, sweet and oily. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice with some smoke and coconut.
This was one of the highlights for me at the 13th GRF!! Unknown Australian distillery, white rum with perfect integration of alcohol and a remarkable taste of strawberry, yoghurt (reminds me of Yoghurette), ester, caramel! I wish I could post the McMahon meme now 😜 Very cool :3 It will make a delicious daiquiri😬
The nose on this rum is really nice and it may remind you of some of the Last Ward rums, not as complex but very well balanced. The palate has been perfectly rounded with the perfect proof. So no alcohol dominance but a perfect balance. The orange really shines through and the price to quality is very good.
At first the nose is a bit dull, but the rum opens up over time and shows its sherry character. Along with that, the wooden cask and slightly buttery notes. On the tongue, the sweet sherry hits hard, which probably brings quite a bit of sugar naturally. Anyone expecting a cheap Foursquare or hoping for that character will be disappointed. It’s a completely unique category. For me personally, it’s unfortunately not my thing, so I abstain from scoring, that wouldn’t be fair. ========== Clearly marked edit, a few hours later After looking at the other reviews, some of which are well over 9.x up to even 10.0 – what’s going on here? Some legacy Velier releases don’t even reach that. So I adjust my rating clearly to my personal feeling. I am – quite clearly – glad I only ordered one bottle to split. If you like sweet rums, this is for you. It’s just not my taste.
If you should have just one Navy strength rum in your bar, this is the one. The nose is complex with aromas of esters, fruits and spices. At the palate it’s complex and funky with flavors of esters, fruits and spices. The finish is quite long and dry.
30.08.2026 Retasting qt the Germen Rum Festival 2026 and a pretty decent bottling. ------------------- This is a very light and close to diluted release. Price to quality is pretty good though. Sweet and fruity with some caramel and spices. Mild and oily on the palate and finish. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass has really nice flavours.
One of my favorite rums, and my reference for a straight 8.0. Good entry to unadulterated rums. After having lots of other samples I came back to this, and found it dryer than I remembered, also I now recognized the wood. I still like it but I detract some points to balance it against others I have tasted. Also, this is one of my first honest rums, guiding me to my journey, so it gets the honor of having the first RumX Picture taken ever. Oliver, you got me, finally!
Tasting date 04.09.2026 Barbados night with Mr. Daniel Jungberg. RX26386 ECS XXXI Epilogue. Nose: Caramelized, molasses. Vanilla and light burnt sugar. Dried fruits and light oak. Cake notes like the danish famous “brunsviger” Mouth: Balanced smoothness switch quick and dry oak and bitterness emerges. Roasted wood and smoke. Spices ass allspice, anis and vanilla notes. English licorice and tobacco. Residual taste: Loads of spices, dried fruits and burnt sugar. Roasted wood and smoke. Leather, dark chocolate and bitter almond. Light burnt orange peels. The glass: Vanilla and tobacco. Tasting “In the cave”
12 year old Foursquare finished in Cognac and Pineau barrels. An exciting experiment! Very round and smooth. Ideal product for beginners who like slightly spicy yet sweet rums. However, there is a slight penalty for the relatively thin finish.
