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.

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”

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

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.

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 😎🇩🇰

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.

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.

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…
