Rum Shark Foursquare 2010

Don't let the classic Foursquare label fool you — at 63.8% this one bites. Under the familiar chocolate, vanilla and dried-fruit profile there's a wall of tannin and heat that a few tasters found sharp and not fully knit. Give it plenty of air and it settles into leather, raisin and dark cocoa. An 11-year single cask that rewards patience.

#4787 20.07.2024 Sampling a bit at home. Nose Balanced, light wood, light roasted, dark chocolate, raisin, spice. Palate Warm, balanced, naturally sweet, fruits, dried fruit, light pineapple, light wood, faint smoke, dark chocolate. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, raisin, light pineapple, spice, naturally sweet. The empty glass has faint cherry, faint caramel and some vanilla. Needs to rest for a good while to settle properly or the ABV will overpower the flavours.

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 smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.

Great Foursquare. Beautiful fruit notes complement the classic Foursquare profile, alcohol still present but without becoming intrusive.

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.
