Neptune Foursquare Gold Rum

Best sipped on the rocks, where the buttered-popcorn, vanilla and light oak have room to show — several tasters call it "fruity and vanilla forward super easy" at 40%. Try it in cola and it washes out fast; this one's too delicate to mix. An 8-year Foursquare that opinions split hard on: some find it a pleasant everyday pour, others just "standard rum and nothing more."

  • Easy, no burn

... Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum especially appreciated by rum lovers who are fed up with sugar and are looking for a gentle, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.

I really like this rum, with a fairly long and sweet finish with caramel, coffee, apricot and a persistent taste of pastries that makes me really like this rum.

Avg Rating 8.3/10 over 630 Rums

Few distilleries inspire the devotion Foursquare does. Bought by Sir David Seale in 1995, distilling since 1996 and run by master distiller Richard Seale, it has become the most awarded and most collected rum producer of the modern era. Its cask-strength Exceptional Cask Selection releases sell out in minutes.
