CoR Foursquare Barbados No. 1 2007

Opinions land in a familiar spot here: a well-made but very classic Foursquare. Expect vanilla, oak, coconut and toffee from the ex-bourbon aging, with a faint glue note and some minerality creeping in. A few tasters found it a touch "plat et fermé" — closed and short on surprises. Reliable and enjoyable, just not one that reinvents anything.

The community says
  • Vanilla and coconut
  • Long warm finish
  • But: Closed, few surprises

7.9/10

Compared to the newer vintages, the rum becomes a bit more closed, a fine glue note is added to the profile, paired with some minerality. However, major surprises remain absent, it remains a classic Foursquare.

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 looking for a gentle, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

Seriously, all this foursquare are more or less the same, and this is an tremendous achievement. Rarely a fallout to below the 70 points. Bourbon cask leaves vanilla and spices, some coconut, and overall a bit boring but reliable profile, even with these ib's
