Review by Stefan Persson
Overall a very interesting rum from Foursquare which is partly reminiscent of white Jamaica rum and Rivers Antoine. My good friend Björn “Romsoffan” offered me a glass of this somehow different Foursquare at Foursquare Appreciation Day, released by Habitation Velier. It’s what Richard Seale call, a Long Fermentation Type (LFT). It’s a Pot Still from both molasses and cane juice with Esters 555 gr/hlpa, which is the same level as HLCF from Jamaica.
Review by Basti
Ich stehen ja auf Foursquare, aber der weiße FS holt mich mal so gar nicht ab. Weder an der Nase noch am Gaumen weiß er zu überzeugen, im Gegenteil. Viel Pflanzliches an der Nase mit Klebstoff und floralen Noten, leicht nussig und modrig. Nicht wirklich meins. Am Gaumen stechend, floral, grün, modrig, medizinisch. Fällt mir schwer das Glas auszutrinken....
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Piacevolissimo rum bianco dove anche in questo caso Foursquare riesce a tenere un equilibrio ottimo! Detto questo per me manca un po’ di intensità e di ricchezza di sapori che ricerco sicuramente quando assaggio un white rum!
Review by Mirco
My first thought was that this shouldn't be bottled. I think if Velier wasn't behind it, the cut here would be worse. Ester and Foursquare is really exciting. But not my cup of tea. If something like this was still stored with barrel ageing at Foursquare, I'd be thrilled. The ageing could take the beastliness out of the distillate.
Review by cigares
Day 6 RumX Rarities. An explosion of flavors on the nose: fruit, artichoke, wood wax, banana cake. The palate is fairly smooth, even if you can feel the watts. Dark vegetal aromas and very bitter chocolate beans. But also a clear floral edge. The finish is fairly short, but there's still a soft, almost sweet edge. The empty glass resembles this rum, with great complexity but little depth. For my taste, the aging is lacking.
Review by Johannes
I don't know what it is about the rum that is supposed to be high ester, but overall I really like it. Nicely balanced white rum that is fruity at first, then slightly astringent.
Review by zabo
An unaged one that I really like, I wouldn't have thought so. I'll try it again as a mixer.

This is a retasting and I stick to my initial score 😊 ----- Velier really knows how to pick them. A well balanced white with fruit and light spices and a lovely floral note. Well rounded and dry on the palate and there is a very light minty note in the profile. The empty glass is really nice.
Review by Jarek
Nachverkostung im Rahmen der RumX Rarities Experience… Ich finde das Experiment von Foursquare immer noch interessant und lecker. Diesmal fand ich die Klebstoffnote viel deutlicher.
Review by Leo Krüper
Very interesting white rum. Could also be a very good round Worthy Park. I hardly notice the high esters. The long fermentation makes me think more of Clairin. A mild, round, drinkable white rum for the %. I just don't see any possible use for this rum. Too expensive and unspectacular to drink straight. It lacks something special for mixing (and is far too expensive).
Review by TheJackDrop
Not that long but very interesting tasting ! A little harsh at start but developing nice fruit aromas and menthol finish ! En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Olive, Canne à sucre, Colle, Herbe, Zeste de citron, Abricot En bouche : Agrumes, Citron vert, Fruits tropicaux, Fruits jaunes La finale plutot orientee vers : Mentholé, Canne à sucre, Zeste de citron
Review by TheRhumhoe
A very atypical white Foursquare, whose name "High Ester" unfortunately does not represent much. On the nose, there are many floral and vegetal notes, including olive, iodine, citrus and apple. On the palate, medicinal notes are added to the floral and vegetal notes, as well as to the citrus already present. The aromas are rather timid and dissipate quickly in the mouth, while the rum itself is a bit unbalanced and lacks aromatic tones. The finish is of very average length, pushed by very light menthol and eucalyptus notes and some fruits. A rather linear and a bit flat rum, but which should be interesting in mixology.
Review by Yves Remord
An extremely heavy rum that has nothing to do with the 2015 white. An aromatic bomb that reminds me of the Port Mourant white 2015 Habitation Velier.
Review by Timo Groeger
Shopbesuch Rhum Attitude Brüssel Mai 2025. Als Sample mitgenommen. Der einzige unaged Rum den ich gekauft habe. Ganz nach oben schafft er es auch nicht in der Auswahl. Zuckerrohr und Zitrusfrüchte sind ok, ansonsten aber zuviel Klebstoff und zu medizinisch.
Review by Filip Šikula
The first white rum that got me excited at first. A round, creamy aroma. After sipping it vibrates the tongue, but the alcohol integrated perfectly, the vollage is very pleasant. When you press your tongue it warms the whole palate and continues into the belly. This is a bottle you need to have.
