Valinch & Mallet Foursquare Single Blended Rum 2006
Coconut is the surprise here — it shows up on the nose and carries through, alongside light wood, spice and a touch of dark chocolate. Several tasters clocked it as unmistakably Foursquare even blind, dry and straight-lined with dried fruit and a medium-spicy finish. One reviewer picked up green notes on the palate that weren't for everyone. A 17-year cask-strength Barbados pour that stays composed.
The community says- Coconut and spice
- Great alcohol integration
- Keep in mind: Fairly straightforward

Classic Foursquare although some green-ness on the palate that was not to my liking.
Review by F Kraemmer
Tasting 04.07.2026 RX 20894 Foursquare. Gift from Mr. Kevin Sørensen. Nose: Nice cask, coconut and chocolate. Palate: full-bodied, slightly sour fruit. Caramel chocolate and lightly spiced dried fruit. Soft and pleasant “steady” Foursquare. Glass: slightly sweet cask. Tasting “In the cave”
Review by Rum Watcher
I just loved it. In the last Odense tastings - pure coincidence - we tried our way up from Jung (Single Cask Nation) to 16yo (Milano Rum Festival & Maltbarn) to this 17yo and they just keep getting better and better. Great FSQ
Review by TheJackDrop
On the nose, frankly, I wouldn't say Foursquare but rather an old Jamaican low ester maybe. The fruits and wood are there; the spices too, still a bit of alcohol. I don't find the finesse and softness of a Foursquare. On the palate, you follow this line with a bit of coconut in addition and maybe dark chocolate. It remains quite straightforward, no surprises, medium+ length.
Review by Fuwi
A really great Foursquare, which clearly stands out from the mass of well-known bottlings thanks to its very interesting profile. Light coconut, paired with dark and fresh fruit and a pleasant spiciness - really fun in the glass! Many thanks to Kevin for cracking the bottle together 😎🇩🇰
Review by ilRummista
Good Foursquare. Decent nose and good palate. Fairly regular, I would recognize it even without reading "foursquare" on the label. Peculiarity is some floral notes that stand out on the palate. Good finish and quite persistent.
Review by Double Barrel
WL 2024 And yet another great Foursquare pffffff boring!
Review by Pavel Spacek
Full FSQ taste, I like it ... Foursquare is a distiller from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday drinking. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by rum drinkers who are fed up with sugar and looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Just pleasant and not aggressive flavours.
Review by DanielStokke
I’m a sucker for Foursquare and this hits just right. Wonderful nose, great alcohol integration, the distinctive foursquare dna shows in the flavours. I really enjoyed this one, and sad that all I had was a sample…
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2006. With 8.4 out of 10, it's a very good bottle, though not the top of my ranking.
