"Up there with many ECS releases" is how one taster put this cask-strength Foursquare, and the notes back it up: nougat, vanilla and coconut on the nose, then dried fruit shifting to tropical fruit with a surprising minty streak and toasted oak. A couple of drinkers catch a smoky, almost peated-whisky edge from the barrel. At 17 years and 59.6% the alcohol sits remarkably well.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Fruit and spice balance

Balanced, oaky cask-strength Foursquare sipper Well-liked, classic Foursquare done at cask strength — fruit, spice and oak in balance. A few find the barrel a touch smoky or slightly past its peak, but most rate it highly.

8,4:On the nose, toasted oak with nougat, caramel, burnt sugar, chocolate, spicy with baking spices, flowery molasses, citrus, dried fruits, coconut, medicinal touch, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, glue is obvious, dried apricots, raisins, the pastry is caramelized, vanilla joins. 8,6:On the palate, the attack is typical Bajan with roasted/toasted wood notes like caramel, roasted nuts, caramelized burnt sugar, pastry, leather, chocolate, spicy with vanilla and baking spices, slightly smoky, metallic, fruity with coconut, pineapple, dried apricots, raisins, citrus fruits, as the molasses is dark with black tea, slightly minty.Some resemblance to whisky might be recognized, when the rum is well rested. 8,1:The finish is short, dry, with all Bajan markers lingering on. Edit:1.8.26

Musty smell, untypical for Foursquare, alcohol well integrated
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#6905 10.06.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after picking up my wife from work. Watching the TV series Evil Lives Here on HBO. A pretty nice rum with an OK price tag in my mind. Medium intense profile with nice fruits, spice, light tea, glue and light roasted wood.
Review by Timo Groeger
Awesome Foursquare, exactly what I want from a Foursquare. The coconut is of course very clearly noticeable, but also the slight sweetness thanks to vanilla and caramel makes it relatively easy to recognize as a Foursquare.
Review by zabo
Testing three different Foursquare again. RX22434, RX18093, and RX23029. Overall, three solid bottlings with the usual Foursquare DNA. The Barbados Museum is a bit too thin for me. I would give second place to the one from Precious Liquors, and the winner in this flight would be the one from Bedford Park.
Review by Skyfly
Great FSQ, which convinces on the palate with a transition from dry to tropical fruits. On the nose, pleasant nougat and a balanced wood-spice-fruit mix. On the palate, a hint of mint can be detected. The finish is very pleasant. Alcohol is very well integrated; only slightly diluted on the palate.
Review by Michael Schou
#1757 28-03-2026 - Rate 8.1 If I have to drink Barbados rum, I would always choose a Foursquare. I really like the nose on this one. Lots of fruit and spice. The taste however has notes of peated whisky cask. I can’t stand peated whisky. I believe I’m being to gentle with a rating of 8.1.
Review by Jakob
Rich caramel, coconut, tropical fruits with a citrusy freshness, vanilla, dried fruits; on the palate, a surprising mint note and the barrel aging adds woody-smoky notes. A very successful Foursquare release from 2006.
Review by Banana Joe
Nice Foursquare, a bit less coconut than usual, but I like it. You don't notice the almost 60% ABV on the nose or palate. Good cask selection from Bedfordpark Spirits, makes me look forward to more releases from the guys in the UK.

25/04/2025: Bedford Park tasting with Stijn. Good, decent Foursquare with the typical tasting notes that you would expect. The finish is tasty and the alcohol is integrated rather well. Good value for money.
Review by Johannes
Surprisingly good Foursquare! Tropical notes dominate, column and alcohol well integrated.
Review by Stijn Zino
Tasting some Foursquare next to eachother. Bedford vs Velier. This one lot's of vanilla because of the Bourbon barrel. Long nice finish. Real price quality Foursquare.
Review by Kerry Brockland
Really solid and drinkable Foursquare. Just a go to sipping rum - has a bit of the pencil shavings that some ECS has, I do wonder if it could’ve been taken out of the barrel sooner but I’m being a bit pedantic. Enjoyable with a long finish, showing the distillates quality. At the price you’re not getting much better value for money.
