Review by Stefan Persson
Got a sample of this Foursquare rum for free from RumX. It’s a mix of column and pot still distilled rum aged for 11 years in an ex-bourbon cask, 5 years in the tropics and 6 years continentally whereafter it’s bottled in 264 bottles at 59,3%. Overall an interesting and elegant Foursquare rum that’s a little different from their own bottlings, maybe because of the continental aging.
Review by Christoph
Geröstete Kokosnuss auf einem verbrannten Bourbon Fass. Im Geschmack kommt noch eine Bounty mäßige Bananen Mischung dazu.
Review by Nivius
This rum is not bad, but not significantly more complex than the RealMcCoy12 and costs twice as much.
Review by Han
Qualitativ gut, aber haut nicht vom Hocker. Leider bissl wässrig im Geschmack; Typische Barbados Noten kommen durch. Eine Spur zu süß. Abgang kommt dann eine brennende Schärfe durch die so gar nicht zum Geschmack passen möchte
Review by DomM
Nose goes to orange (No 18) versus blue (No 17). Palate the other way round. Both significantly below the regular 2010 ECS, however.

#4732 20.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few samples. Nose Fresh, intense, fruity, wood, faint roasted, pineapple, vanilla, faint chocolate. Palate Medium intense, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, banana, medium spicy, light dry, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, pineapple, light chocolate, spice. The empty glass has stronger chocolate and light nutts. Needs to rest for a good while in order to settle and release all its flavours.
Review by Andi
Vanilla, wood, light sweetness, alcohol There is nothing more to mention.

Nice FSQ ... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
Review by RumTaTa
The nose is very bourbon-heavy, no wonder - the rum matured exclusively in bourbon barrels. After a while, light notes of white wine are added. Very similar on the palate. There is a certain intensity due to the almost 60% alcohol, but unfortunately not many aromas are conveyed besides bourbon, vanilla and roasted notes. Overall good but pale, alcoholic and not very representative for Foursquare. Practically no significant difference to Barbados No. 18.
Review by SaibotZtar
Very alcoholic in the nose and on the palate, not really fun. Vanilla, some chocolate and light coconut notes - that's it.
Review by Oliver
Quite alcoholic nose with some vanilla and coconut. On the palate, the alcohol is still too present. This is again joined by the typical coconut and vanilla notes. Rather disappointing Foursquare.
Review by Serge
After the Plenipotenzario from the Advent calendar, I thought to myself: Ha, Foursquare can taste good after all. This one confirms my old prejudices and once again offers the usual boring profile with coconut, bourbon, vanilla and alcohol. I'd rather have a (good) bourbon. Certainly interesting for FS lovers but rather meaningless for me. A little weaker than the No 18 tasted at the same time
