Anyone who already loves Foursquare and wants the richest, most indulgent version of it will grin here. Toasted coconut and vanilla lead, with dry oak, a little dark chocolate and ripe tropical fruit behind — one taster reckoned they slipped "a few Bounty bars" in the cask. At 56.8% the alcohol sits well integrated, and the finish just keeps going.

How does Famille Ricci Foursquare Exception 2001 taste?
Summarized by AI from 14 community reviews.
Rich, coconut-vanilla Foursquare at cask strength The consensus calls it the most gourmand Foursquare they've tasted — rich, balanced, long. A couple of tasters found it good but not the peak, and the oak runs strong.

This is a lovely bottling and I got the nose as soon as I opened the sample. The fruit is there especially coconut that I love in the rums from Barbados followed by the wood and spices in near perfect harmony. The empty glass will release the most wonderful flavours after and hour or so and even the day after you still get some of the flavours. Price to quality is OK.

A similar nose and palate. The alcohol is well integrated and the woodiness is really noticeable.
Review by Double Barrel
An ultra-gourmand Foursquare. They must have slipped some Bounty into the keg!
Review by hugo148
Wow… that's exactly what I love!! A magnificent nose of exotic fruits with a slight varnish, a just woody and pleasant palate, the alcohol very well integrated and a finish that lasts and lasts… I love it!
Review by Djehey
Good, but doesn't seem exceptional. I prefer some Blackadders. Tasted quickly: to be tried again.
Review by Jacques etdom
A very delicate nose of toasted coconut and vanilla. The palate is intense but keeps this superb finesse, a perfect balance between vanilla, coconut, woodiness and a little touch of chocolate. Clearly the best Foursquare I've tasted, we are in excellence.
Review by kargoles
A well-crafted, round rum. Complex notes of pineapple, coconut, light cocoa and hints of menthol. Round and greedy.
Review by John Coffey
Foursquare ultra gourmand.. Excellent
Review by Ayc
Comparable to certain l’esprit, bottle a bit expensive but nice length, a fruity side (blackberry) in the middle of the palate quite rare on the FS. I like it a lot but I don’t buy the bottle.
