Foursquare Sixty Six Family Reserve
Opinions land in a friendly middle here: most call it a well-balanced, easy-sipping 12-year from Foursquare with vanilla, caramel, chocolate and a light orange note that shows nicely with a cigar. The recurring gripe is the 43% dilutes it — several wish for 50%+, and one felt the bourbon cask buries the Barbados fruit. Coconut runs strong for a couple of tasters.

Easy, balanced vanilla-caramel Foursquare sipper Liked as an easy, balanced Foursquare with vanilla and chocolate. Many find it a touch diluted at 43% and wish for cask strength; a few call it one-dimensional.

There’s quite a lot of pricewhorty rums from Barbados, and this is one of them. The nose is round and a bit spicy with notes of vanilla and chocolate. At the palate it’s complex, spicy and round with flavors of vanilla and chocolate.

Bought this for mixing, it works with Coca Cola, and I really like the look of the Bottle. Sipped it is good, but does not inspire the need to pour another glass.

Another rum where the price to quality is very good. Fruity with nice spices and wood. I like the caramel and nutty flavours in the profile. Would have liked to try this one at 50%+
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
That was one of my first sippers and the one I was most enthusiastic about. I can no longer share that enthusiasm today - a good, beginner-friendly rum, but quite one-dimensional and heavily diluted. Nose and palate are not far apart here: For my personal taste the bourbon cask is too dominant, the beautiful Barbados fruit barely noticeable anymore.
Review by ChristophFFM
A slight orange is recognizable in nose and mouth, which made the rum special. Tastes like dark chocolate until the finish, but the alcohol could be better integrated. The rum is good, but can't quite convince. It loses (today?) against the Real McCoy 12, which I had for comparison. The latter is much sweeter.
Review by Gregor
Nice price-performance ratio. Balanced and little glue for a Foursquare.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Not quite as round as the 6y and the cask strength but still a good entry-level and good for drinks!
Review by David
Lacks power and aromas compared to the ECS Foursquare. Basically an ECS diluted with water. Not complex. Coconut too predominant and alcohol moderately integrated.
Review by Kieron Wood
This is an interesting rum in the description but does not deliver on flavour . It's a nice sipper rum but I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase this exclusively, a taster menu yes worth it but other than that there is better availabile
Review by Thomas Lukas
It's a classic Foursquare, with the typical aromas. One of my absolute favorites and unbeatable in terms of price-performance ratio. Perfect with a cigar, the orange aromas come out even stronger.
Review by Richard Krupa
Just an ordinary one, doesn't catch your interest
Review by Montana
A nice strong golden tone in the glass. The smell is heavy and oily, quite sweet, slightly spicy. The taste is spicy, only slightly sweet. The finish is long and mild. A pleasant complex rum.
Review by Leslie Haigh
It's a decent price for a 12 year old rum. Fruity, no real burn, 43 abv... easy to sip.
