Review by Stefan Persson
One of the best Bajan standard rums to a very competitive price in a spectacular bottle. The nose is subtle and round with aromas of fruits and vanilla. At the palate it’s delicious, fruity and spicy with flavors of tropical fruits, vanilla and cinnamon.
Review by kudzey
The sample might have been corrupted, lost clarity and volume and feels like almost no alcohol. Very concentrated fruits.
Review by Andrew Mainprice
Great news as this is now 46 abv
Review by Piotr Gładysz
The bottle might not be closed properly. In taste and smell there are not alcoholic tones.
Review by Fuwi
Excellent PLV, for the price you get besides an unusual bottle also a slight idea of what Richard Seale is capable of. Good entry into the Foursquare world, fits as an easy sipper of the upper category to enjoyments of any kind - eg Cuban tobacco products.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by Romanians 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.
Review by Leslie Haigh
it's a rum that you take your time with.. good price and a good sipping rum for me 46% but not much burn a must have
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was a huge surprise because the price is really good compared to the quality. You get a fairly complex fruity rum with Bajan touch and light smoky wood. The rum needs to rest for a while or the ABV will bite, but once rested you're rewarded for your patience.
Review by Tupiaz
Dark chocolate on the nose. Hint of spices. On the palate sweetness at the start followed by a delicious cocoa flavor
Review by Mateusz
Even for a newbie I could tell it’s from Barbados
Review by MaddenC11
This is an extraordinary rum for the price. Remarkably smooth and full of flavor. Caramel forward on the nose, with some chocolate and vanilla coming through. Notes of caramel, vanilla, oak, and almond. This is one to keep in your cabinet.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Great value for money
Review by deanopeez
A joyride. A floral nose leads to a surprising burst of fruit flavor, with a lingering aftertaste of almost anise or caramel. One of the sippers I've had and look forward to an old fashioned with it as I think it will bring out even more fruits.
Review by Daniel
Ideal typical rum from Barbados. Vanilla, wood and mild on the nose and palate. Easy sipping.
Review by Richard Krupa
Not too pronounced aroma, pleasant taste, just the right range
