CoR Foursquare Barbados 2002
Opinions land all over the place on this one. It's a pure pot still Foursquare — a rarity — and it tastes nothing like the smooth coconut-vanilla FSQ people expect. Several tasters pull glue and "technical" notes, honeycomb, black tea, chamomile and young wood. Many find it watery and a touch biting; a few find it genuinely interesting, just not their thing.
- Unique pot-still profile
- Honeycomb and tea notes
- Well-integrated wood

How does CoR Foursquare Barbados 2002 taste?
Aggregated from 33 community reviews.
Pure pot-still Foursquare that splits the room Polarizing pot-still oddity. Fans of classic Foursquare often feel let down — honey, beeswax and black tea over a thin, slightly biting body. Curious palates find it unique.

Salon Du Rhum 2024 Interesting rum, something unique. Just not my kind of taste.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Just like the Royal cane 2002, I would definitely not classify it blind as Foursquare but as WIRD Rockley style. Nice notes of honeycomb, incense and honey, as well as herbs like chamomile and black tea. Overall somewhat biting on the finish.
Review by cigares
CoR tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A rather weak agricultural nose with dry herbs, beeswax, spiciness, pepper and dirty notes. The wood is very well integrated, but the spiciness/pepperiness bothers me a little. The palate is acqueous, diluted and the aromas struggle to express themselves. The wood and beeswax dominate the fresh tropical fruit, which, together with the vegetal, gives this wine quite a bit of freshness. The finish is short, although the wood lingers on the palate for a long time. A weak rum, especially on the first palate.

Shopbesuch Rhum Attitude Brüssel Mai 2025. Als Sample mitgenommen. Der wohl mit Abstand schlechteste Rum heute. Viel kann dieser Foursquare nicht. In der Nase sowohl am Gaumen haben wir Honig, etwas Holz und auch Schwarztee. Nicht überzeugend.

My first experience with Colours of Rum and right away huge dissapointment here, this is in no way foursquare style and I wouldn't even guess Barbados. I don't know what they were thinking bottling this for the price they want.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Definitely not standard FSQ taste. It is more whisky style. ... Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday drinking. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by rums who are fed up with sugar and are looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Just pleasant and not aggressive flavours.
