Foursquare Flensburg Rum Company Sea Shepherd Stingray 2013

Opinions land in the middle here: most tasters call it a decent but underwhelming Foursquare. The Barbados markers are there — caramel, vanilla, coconut, milk chocolate over toasted oak — but at 64.8% the alcohol never really settles, even with water and a long rest. Flavours read a bit thin and one-note next to bolder Foursquare bottlings. Several tasters ended up mixing it.

The community says
  • Classic Barbados profile
  • Good mixer
  • But: Hot, unintegrated ABV

The look inside the bottle

How does Foursquare Flensburg Rum Company Sea Shepherd Stingray 2013 taste?

Summarized by AI from 27 community reviews.

Hot, thin cask-strength Foursquare Middle-of-the-road for a Foursquare. The classic caramel-coconut-vanilla profile is there, but the heat is poorly integrated and the palate stays thin — many drank it neat once, then reached for cola.

Rather average overall. Even after breathing for over an hour, the alcohol is still quite present and the taste is not particularly complex... a little caramel, milk chocolate and coconut. just ok for the price.

Edit: tried again from the freshly opened bottle. For the price back then, really okay. The Foursquare markers are there. Makes a good figure as a mixer. Too alcoholic neat. Unfortunately not as good as expected. Rather one of the worse Foursquare. You can sip it in between. But I think it will meet its end as a Cuba Libre. As announced, ended up as a mixer. Still a good rum for the price.

Relatively mixed I would say. Nose: caramel, vanilla, alcohol, little to no fruit. Rather monotonous and somewhat angular in the mouth, although it has a good mouthfeel. Rather short finish. For the money, I would rather go for an ECS
