Opinions land in a happy spot here: most people call this a "typical Foursquare" that Cave Guildive pushed somewhere unusual — coconut and toffee, dried fruit and oak, plus flowery meadow and herb notes that surprised regulars. One taster nailed it as coconut-cinnamon macaroons. The 60% brings real "fire in the mouth" but the alcohol reads well-integrated. Dry, spicy, long finish.

How does Cave Guildive Foursquare Barbados Rum 2005 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Bold, dry Foursquare with coconut and spice Loved by Foursquare fans, with several calling it one of the better independent bottlings of the distillery. Bold at 60%, dry and spicy — the finish could run longer for some.

Review by Mirco
The bottling shows beautiful complexity with clear aromas of cinnamon, nut and coconut as well as a distinct vanilla note. Overall, a well-balanced rum that combines both depth and sweetness and is pleasantly rounded.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very, very tasty and unusually berry, caramelly fruity Foursquare! I like it extremely well. Alcohol is extremely well integrated and nicely complex and spicy with an unusual note of red pepper, ginger and cinnamon. The ginger note in particular is very intense in the finish. It reminds me most of coconut cinnamon macaroons 🤤. Recently I've also noticed some nice herbal and honey notes, really a nice unusual Foursquare!
Review by Timo Groeger
Absolutely brilliant Foursquare. Beautiful aromas of wood, barrel and oak on the nose. Toffee and a creamy taste are added on the palate. In any case, this rum is very cool and the price is justified.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Like it😋 wonderfully round and accessible, yet with character. Only the finish could last a bit longer for my taste. Stands out for me among all Velier FS releases except Destino and Plenipot... so far
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I like Barbadian rum and this one is also really good. The nose is well balanced with roasted wood and dried fruit followed by caramel, and vanilla topped with a hint of herbs. The palate is slightly dry and spicy with roasted oak and tannins, fruit, caramel and vanilla follows with a hint of caramel and herbs. The finish is long with smoky oak and dried fruit as well as nice tannins.
Review by cigares
A rum from Swiss bottling Guildive with a pastry nose, nail polish, light menthol and banana. The palate is very gourmand, slightly tannic with coconut fat. The finish is lovely, long with a hint of suntan lotion. The empty glass exudes pastry and vanilla.
Review by Basti
On the nose the typical Foursquare DNA with coconut, dried fruits, some wood and spices. Also on the palate a typical Foursquare. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. I like it better every time.
Review by Jakob
Convincing Foursquare. On one hand, the 60% is definitely noticeable because the rum has a good kick in the mouth, but in my opinion the alcohol doesn't feel unpleasant. Instead, classic Foursquare notes come through - sweet toffee and chocolate, spices like pepper, ginger and cinnamon, oak from the bourbon barrel, a bit of coconut paired with subtle hints of dried fruits and a bitter sharpness reminiscent of old wood, allspice and coffee. This leans towards the quintessence of Foursquare and stands out positively from the flood of releases from the distillery.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
A really complex and interesting cask. Super selection of Cave Guildive! the typical Foursquare is expanded by a lot of flowery meadows. It is still easy sipping. But i do have to say i would like FS much if they all where like this. Also a super Cave Guildive type of Rum.
