Most helpful positive review
This is now a very, very rare bottle and we got it on auction and shared it between us. The nose is very light compared to the exceptional casks of today. But it still manages to impress. I get dried fruits and toffee and a hefty varnish note. In the back i find charred oak and some wet tobacco. The palate is light and velvety with spices and dried fruit. There is some pepper and forree topped with some smoky oak. The finish is medium long and light with vanilla and oak.

Foursquare in pure form, very accessible due to the reduction to drinking strength and with noticeable fruitiness, but on the other hand without a lasting finish. Very pleasant to drink, a nice entry-level rum - for a higher rating I miss the complexity.
Review by Johannes
I think the '98 vintage at Foursquare is very good. It's a shame that this one is diluted!
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Legendary release, was happy to get it and try, but In my opinion Richard Seale presents much more higher quality in further releases, where some of them are absolutely fantastic. It’s always great to see, when quality develops by time.
