Les Rhums du Sud Foursquare Barbados Pure Single Rum
Most tasters land in the "very good but classic Foursquare" camp — one calls it a lovely single cask, another shrugs that it's quality but interchangeable. Coconut leads hard, backed by vanilla, cream toffee and a fruity edge, then the cask strength kicks in with black pepper, nutmeg and a touch of wood glue. Dried fruit and raisin sit underneath. The finish runs a bit short.</</<parameter> <parameter name="review">Loved by Bajan-rum fans for its coconut-vanilla nose and complexity, though a few find it a touch spicy and hot on the palate, and the finish falls short.
The community says- Dominant coconut nose
- Real complexity
- But: Spicy, hot palate

Guillaume de Roany and “Les Rhums du Sud” selected a barrel, vintage 2008, from the Barbadian Foursquare distillery. Whereafter they sailed it to Europe and bottled 412 bottles at ABV 61,2%. Overall a delicious rum that can’t disappoint anyone liking Bajan rums.

Solid Foursquare without much fanfare. This can be seen positively, because quality is of course present - but viewed differently, it is also very interchangeable.

Wow, ein richtig klasse Foursquare hier. Hätte ich nicht gedacht. Jedenfalls eine schöne eichige Nase mit schönen Vanilllenoten. Am Gaumen kommen dann noch Nuss und dunkle Schokolade hinzu. Ein sehr leckerer Rum :-)
Review by MJ97
On the nose, drier, more solvent/wood glue with more alcohol. On the palate, the wood glue comes through strongly and it's an explosion of spices (pepper / nutmeg / ), stinging on the tongue and oral cavity. A firework display of spices and aromas. Medium-long finish, the palate becomes pasty (not very pleasant), with wood and spices coming through. We're less sure about the gourmand aspect.
Review by John Coffey
A superb nose... Pity the explosion of spices on the palate... And a little too much alcohol... Great value for money though... Bravo to this bottler
Review by ElReyTristan
Nez en plein dans le Foursquare, on retrouve une coco ultra dominante avec les arômes de vanille, de caramel et de crème caramel de dessert. C’est hyper gourmand et on a pas du tout la sensation qu’on va s’attaquer à un rhum de plus de 60%. Doux en première bouche puis ça attaque fort on retrouve les notes de coco du nez. Plus sèche et moins fraîches. Un peu plus de piquant, de poivre noir et de piment. Fond de bouche sur les fruits secs, raisins secs et dates. C’est sacrément complexe. Bien plus doux au nez qu’un bouche, finale un poil courte dommage. Mais très belle complexité.
Review by Benoit CHATEL
Très belle réussite !! Rhum gourmand comme on les aime. Finale un peu courte.
Review by Pavel Peknica
Hodně silný, ale chuť za to stoji. Max. 1 pulka.
