Les Frères de la Côte Foursquare Vieux Rhum - Brut de Fût 2011

Most tasters land in the same place: a textbook Foursquare that's very good but doesn't reinvent anything. Caramel, vanilla, bourbon and a distinct grape note run through it, with cocoa and wood on a long finish. Several call it "incredibly drinkable" for 65.1% — the alcohol is beautifully integrated. A couple find it a touch cloying.

The community says
  • Alcohol well integrated
  • Caramel-grape profile
  • But: Not surprising

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.

8.0/10

Classic foursquare from the start with a great nose of caramel, bourbon and some grape. It’s a solid independent bottling and as good as some of the ECS offerings. Incredibly drinkable and well integrated given the 65.1% ABV. Mouth is greedy with some vanilla, warm cooking spices and grape punch. Finish is cocoa and wood with coffee and some chocolate. All in all a top notch foursquare, not worthy of another bottle but enjoyed it

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
