Fruitier than most Foursquares, that's the first surprise here — mango and tropical fruit push past the usual coconut-vanilla-cocoa core. Twelve years in ex-bourbon at 60% gives toasted oak, toffee and a tobacco note several tasters loved. It runs dry and long, and a few find it a touch hot or oak-heavy. Water tames the coconut and the alcohol nicely.
The community says- Fruity and complex
- Long dry finish
- Keep in mind: Can drink hot

Most helpful positive review
Very nice Foursquare, classic, deep, fruit-forward as desired. Quite harsh when the bottle is first opened, perfect after a few months of being open. Coconut, a bit of varnish, tropical fruits on the nose that continue with a very expressive palate dominated by licorice. A very beautiful expression! Even better a bit more oxidized. In the winner’s league with the Sassafras and the Absolutio. Looking forward to tasting the Fidelitas.

Foursquare will probably no longer be my favorite distillery, for me too one-dimensional and relatively interchangeable, although undoubtedly of a certain quality.
Review by Mirco
Powerful and complex Foursquare with a distinctly fruity structure. Pineapple and tropical fruits meet vanilla, coconut, and a clear woody spice. On the palate, it shows a spicy creaminess with orange-like notes and milk chocolate. The aromas are well integrated, cleanly balanced despite cask strength, and have lasting depth. A classic among modern Foursquare bottlings.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely delicious one, dominated mainly by the floral notes of rose and Thai flying mango, which then alternate with nutty and chocolatey aromas. Super exciting, extremely smooth, and just the right amount of complexity, which is very rare with Foursquare. Absolutely outstanding for me! One of my favorite sipping rums now. I think this could really be my absolute favorite Foursquare!
Review by Oliver
Very nice Foursquare, which I even guessed blind as a very good Guyana column rum.
Review by Joachim Guger
Great Foursquare from Velier. Both quality and flavor profile are standard, so nothing really new. Nice nose with coconut and wonderful wood, wonderfully warm mouthfeel. Alcohol perfectly integrated. Ripe mango. In my opinion, Foursquare benefits most from aging in bourbon barrels.
Review by Galli33
#16th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: coconut, fruity, woody, vanilla, alcoholic, spicy Mouth: coconut, orange peal, woody, spicy, cocoa Finish: long, oak, woody, toasted, roasted, sweet, coconut. Delicious I enjoyed this one a lot. Until today i’ve tried 3-4 different foursquares, but they doesn’t really blow my mind. This FS really changed my mind, it’s delicious and the alcohol is much better integrated, unfortunately the actual price tag is way too high. This is from Foursquare ca. 60% approx. 15 Years
Review by DomM
Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.
Review by Basti
The nose is super fruity and complex and not necessarily typical Foursquare for me. Reminds me a little of the El Dorado Diamond CBH RX5934. The taste is less fruity and more spicy with lots of wood, coconut and floral notes. Edit: Still one of my FS favorites.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Strong Foursquare. Unlike many others, for once without port, sherry, or cognac cask, which I first find good, basically a true Barbados. Very cool nose with coconut, chocolate, plus sour cherry and some almond. On the palate then noticeably more bitter, with cocoa and orange peel, but also a hint of mango. Unfortunately also quite astringent and almost sharp. Unfortunately, you know that from Foursquare quite often... Overall, though, a nice Foursquare that I like well and for me belongs to the stronger releases!
Review by Serge
The first Foursquare that convinced me. That was just over a year ago ... when, after Corona and the return of my sense of taste, I suddenly began to appreciate column profiles and blends made from them The rum is very, very good and brings interesting facets to the profile, which I found rather boring. Edit: Now back in the glass after a long time ... yes, it's delicious. I'll go up another point.
Review by Tschusikowsky
RumX Advent 16.12.22 N: chocolate, dried fruit, slightly soapy, spiciness, vanilla, concentrated, barrel, molasses, pastry, syrup, subtly floral, coconut. M: consistent with the nose, more spice, allspice, mint, toasted. A: peach, dry, chocolate Very concentrated and complex flavor. I wavered between NY 94 and Albion. Then decided on Yarmouth. Unfortunately, off target. Chocolate/coconut profile steered me in a different direction. Delicious rum, smooth and full-bodied.
Review by Maxime Leclerc 🇨🇵
The spiciness disappears after 30 min aeration. This gives it more honeyed notes. top.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Taste is full of bourbon and oak, after develop and you cannidentify the minerals, chocolate and ending in long smoked aftertaste.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very tasty Foursquare that opens with notes of varnish, followed by wood, spices, vanilla and caramel, then tropical fruit, citrus and dried fruit, and finally aromas of leather and brioche that add depth to this rum with a very varied nose. The rum is complex on the palate, intense and carried by tropical fruits, cocoa, toasted and spicy notes, tobacco, toffee and wood. The aromas intermingle and are very well integrated, as is the alcohol. The fairly long finish opens with earthier, fresher flavors, with a hint of saltiness before melting into toasty, spicy and chocolate notes. An excellent Foursquare must-try that's still affordable.
Review by Tim
Pretty good Foursquare, complex fireworks of caramel, tropical fruits, wood, cocoa and spices. I was not prepared for the sharpness in the mouth, but it goes better with the second sip or with a little water. Otherwise very bitter, furry and heavy in the mouth. In the mouth and aftertaste there is a component that I do not really like. But the nose is very tasty :-)
Review by Pavel Spacek
.. 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.
Review by Jakob
Very smooth, tasty Foursquare with probably a higher column still share. Very approachable, pleasant sweetness, spices a bit more restrained than in other releases. Reminds me of the profile of some column Demeraras from the 1990s.
Review by Benoit Mahe
A great Foursquare. Gourmet but not excessive.

Review by Mentalo
As not a particularly big Foursquare fan, the Plenipotenziario has been my favorite from the Velier range alongside the Absolutio bottling so far. And here everything without any port or cognac cask aging. Coconut, orange, spices, chocolate, nice wood note, roasted. Pleasant sweetness and definitely brings complexity.
Review by Godspeed
Rankings of 6 Velier Foursquare from cross-tasting (sans 2006 & Destinos) 1. Pleni [Excellent deep foursquare profile that sets itself apart from the pack with a delectable tobacco note and a long pleasant finish] 2. Patrimonio [I love it. The most clearly Sherry-marked of them all and it’s just an ideal complex sipper. The finish cuts out slightly too early to make it top boy] 3. Triptych [intense, flavorful, and very solid but the profile is a little too molasses syrupy for my taste] 4. Raconteur [very good but just lacks a little bit of personality compared to the ones above. The finish is also noticeably shorter compared to the top 3.] 5. Sassa [great jumping attack out the gate but the slightly astringent aftertaste drags it down] 6. Principia [too sharp, alcohol less well integrated, still a more than fine rum of course] Kudos to Leo Tomczak for samplers
Review by Stefan L
Yummy! 😋 Haven’t tasted this one in quite some time and have to bump it several points this time. - Long time no taste, but yummy deluxe and bumping it a few points today. 260306: Just got myself a bottle of this gem. Still Spectacular!
Review by djehey
Let it air for a long time to really enjoy it
Review by zabo
The Swell and the Barbados 2006 Flag Series have been added to the big crosstasting of the Velier bottlings. Unfortunately, it has not yet been possible to get a sample of the 70th. In general, it can be said that there were no major differences on the nose when flying blind. However, there are recognizable differences in the taste itself. In my opinion, however, three clearly stand out and bring up the rear.
Review by Leo Krüper
Still the benchmark for Foursquares.

Review by RumTaTa
I have been looking forward to this tasting for a long time hoping for a slightly different Foursquare! The nose is heavy on vanilla and bourbon, more intense than ECS 2009 and 2010 but not necessarily more complex. Sweet wine I still perceive. Lots of spice on the palate but also alcoholic spiciness, lots of barrel flavors. The finish is not as long as I had hoped, is very barrel-heavy and slightly salty. At the beginning of my journey through the world of rum, I was excited about Foursquare. That has changed because the bottlings known to me from there offer little new or even held surprises and unfortunately this bottling does not change that. Conclusion: Foursquare delivers (almost) consistently high quality but does not break out of the known (narrow) profile. Nevertheless, this is a very good rum!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is release number six from this bottler and they did very well. The balance between nose and palate are amazing.
Review by SaibotZtar
for me one of the best Foursquare ever...especially when you consider the availability and the price.
Review by Santo
Foursquare par excellence!
Review by Beancheese
Was happy to get my hands on a sample of this one and it didn’t disappoint. This one had everything you’d expect out of a Foursquare rum on the nose but with a fresher fruit quality than usual. On the palate this was quite nice - you have the wood and what would usually describe as a raisin note is a little bit more like a plum here. Mix in toffee like sweetness and orange which finally settles into chocolate and more toffee and fruit.
Review by F Kraemmer
Tasting date 04.09.2026 Barbados night with Mr. Daniel Jungberg. RX113 Plenipotenziario 2007 1th. Tasting points 88. 2th. Tasting points 88. Nose: Coconut, citrus and yellow stone fruits. Mouth: Well balanced with spices and smoke, oily consistency, baked stone fruits. Residual taste: Dry with light smoke and gingerbread. Dried fruits, vanilla and burnt sugar, nutty notes. The glass: Light sour tobacco. Tasting “In the cave”
Review by DutchRumPirate
What a wonderful Foursquare! This Foursquare is much fruitier on the nose and palate, and the spice isn't overpowering. Coconut, vanilla, cocoa, and spicy, woody notes play beautifully on the palate. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. The finish is wonderfully full and long, as you'd expect from Fs. There's also a hint of sweetness in the flavor notes. This Foursquare is full-bodied and perfectly balanced.
Review by Christian Rudt
Foursquare's typical coconut, chocolate and vanilla notes are complemented here in a very strong profile by tropical fruit notes that are particularly noticeable on the palate. Definitely a great bottling. Foursquare should release another one like this.
Review by Adde
It's too damn good!
Review by TheJona'Spirits
On the nose, impossible to mistake, roasted grilled coconut. I also find coconut oil evolving into subtle essential oils, maybe ylang-ylang and/or rose petal. Then appears one of the strengths of this Foursquare, a very nice fresh fruitiness carried by mango, starfruit, soursop and vineyard peach. Delicious. The bourbon barrel gives a nice cooked vanilla pod. I also find the smell of cannelé just out of the oven. Gourmand! The nose at the bottom of the glass exalts wood glue. The alcohol seems very well integrated. Harmonious and well-structured aromas. 91+/100 Start of the palate on salted butter caramel jam, then spices make the whole a bit lively without the alcohol being badly integrated, on the contrary. You just feel the 60%, no more, no less. I also sense bitter dark chocolate accompanied by light wood chips at the end. The concentration on the palate is clearly carried by a whole range of caramelized variations. 90/100 Very long warm and cozy finish, on vanilla, caramel and cocoa. 89/100 Excellent Foursquare by Velier.
Review by Frank
Fruity, sweetish, round with a pleasant spiciness. Dried, sulphured fig with maraschino cherry, blackberry and grape. Clearly vanilla, fragrant wood and delicately smoky. Almost has something of cream candy about it. Soft and fruity sweet on the palate, but also spicy with vanilla and a hint of cardamom and aniseed. Some acidity and slightly bitter under the sweetness. I think it's most likely mango with orange and kumquat. It's also caramelly. Overall very smooth, full-bodied and round, but a little too sweet for me.
Review by Lot-NAS
This is one of my favourite Foursquares and it always comes with the memory of me bottling a sample back when it first came out. This was the moment when I learned the importance of lifting the funnel a bit to prevent a spillage. However, my wife came in when I was drinking the puddle from the table and to cut a long story short, a great drop which will always have a special place in my memory.
Review by Alessandro
Classic Foursquare profile, very good: I preferred it to the Sassafras. I have to say that only by letting it breathe in the glass did it give the maximum taste with coconut, tropical fruit, vanilla and wood. Very dense... in short, good!
Review by Jizeus Christ Guitare
Nose: woody / bourbon (oak, vanilla), varnish, caramel. Nuts, some spices (cinnamon, tobacco). Typical Foursquare... with time, smoke appears, with a hint of mango perhaps. Palate: fairly gradual attack, slightly burning mid-palate, warm spices (paprika, bell pepper, chili), heavy vanilla wood, caramel. Medium length, with café au lait, then cocoa. Nothing incredible, just another Foursquare.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: It has a typical notes like vanilla, coconut, fruits and woody notes, but here they are nicely integrated together and that's a hint to me that this should complex rum Taste: Complex. Vanilla, coconut, woody notes with intensity. Nice orange peel notes. Light cocoa/coffee notes. Light spices like cinnamon. Light tobacco notes. Finish: Roasted. Woody notes. Vanilla and coconut notes. Coffee. Dry and complex. Long finish. I really enjoyed sipping this rum until i dropped my glass on the floor. Complexity, especially in the finish and integration of notes makes this rum stand out.
Review by HenryL
RumX Advent calendar 16.12. A rum I never thought I would be able to try, but now I have ☺️ Classic Foursquare nose, toasted coconut and the age is noticeable. Also clearly Barbados in the mouth, I often miss the complexity of the island as the rum journey progresses, but this one can deliver. Barbados is no longer my favorite profile, but this is the best representative I've had the pleasure of tasting so far.
Review by Gregor
Balanced, nice nose. Vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, cashew nuts but also papaya, lime, banana, green apple. Palate: complex like on the nose, the sweetness of vanilla comes through well and raspberry in the finish with a bit of plum at the very end, alcohol well integrated.
Review by Manuel
A very nice Foursquare from Velier that fully convinces. Very intense notes of vanilla, coconut and wood on the nose. The same aromas are found in the taste, complemented by a slight sweetness.
Review by Richard Krupa
Not the best of the four - triptych, principia, dedtino. Krasa strida nadheru

Read full review ›Let the rum breathe, the first tasting and the tasting after 10 minutes of the rum in the glass are quite different. The rum is strong, with a long finish, but crafted excellently. Exactly in the qualities of the whole series.
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Fantastic Foursquare. There you should have once struck when it was still at halfway reasonable prices. A rum for every day.
Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This one is nice. A good mix of the usual Foursquare trinity, coconut, vanilla, and sweetness. Good cask management, and a nice and lovely complexity. This one is not to think about too much if you don't want to.
