Toasted coconut, caramel and dark chocolate lead here, with dried apricot, roasted nuts and a coffee-like "flüssiger Cappuccino" note underneath. This is a classic 18-year Foursquare from a well-picked cask: rich, balanced, and with the near-60% heat tucked away neatly. A few tasters wished the finish ran longer, but most call it a very good example of the house style.

Review by Skyfly
Wow - top-notch cask strength and probably the best '06 I've had in the glass so far. The aroma spectrum is extremely complex and runs consistently from nose to finish. (Dried) fruits stay in the background, but caramel, various types of coffee, nuts (especially peanut on the palate), dark chocolate, and roasted notes dominate. An awesome rum that will surely sell out quickly again.

#6376 21.02.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after a super hard day at the gym. This is a very nice barrel that 1802 has picked. They sure know how to select the good ones in my mind. A fruity and well balanced Foursquare a bit out of the ordinary and with some nice coconut notes in the profile.
Review by Julien Ries
Tasting of Foursquare 2006 bar 1802: This rum rested a good 20 minutes in its glass. Its color is amber, a bit caramel. Its nose is typical Foursquare but you can tell it shows significant aging: the wood wax like Ocedar hits the nostrils. The famous roasted coconut follows behind. The barrel wood brings a lot of depth, vanilla and cocoa, but more acidic fruit notes (especially quince) give it a pep strangely reminiscent of old Martinique agricoles. The attack on the palate is warm and manly, with a striking pepper. While it develops fully on the palate, with tastes of roasted coconut and almond, I find it fades a bit too quickly. The vanilla and exotic dried fruits, a bit acidic, bring something very tasty. The finish is quite average and that is a bit my regret. It does not reach the aromatic breadth of the Calico Jack from this bottler, which I love (I had to give it a 90/100). However, its ease on the palate, its fruity side for such an old Barbados rum, its hints of wine and chocolate in this finish give it a lot of charm. After all, I love Foursquares. Even if nothing resembles a Foursquare more than another Foursquare.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
🎨 Very pretty amber color with golden highlights. 👃 No doubt, this is definitely Foursquare. A fairly soft and delicate Bourbon oak. Here we have a lovely treat of aromas of lightly toasted coconut, baked vanilla, pastry caramel, as well as artisanal hazelnut and milk chocolate spread. Slight fruitiness of dried fruits, a spicy note of white pepper, then a very nice note of orange blossom and candied orange zest combined with a light menthol veil. A classic, delicate, and elegant nose. Special mention for the nearly 60% ABV that is very well integrated. 😋 A much more present dry oak wood that harmonizes the flavors. I immediately get lots of caramelized, vanilla, and roasted notes. My grandmother’s soft caramel candies, the warmth of mirabelle and plum jam juices with raw unrefined sugar. Quite a bit of spice, black pepper, small dried chili. Then comes a subtle combination of sliced fried banana sprinkled with powdered cinnamon, coconut, and dark chocolate shavings, all served with a hot espresso. A mouthfeel that wants to be warm, straightforward, although more complex than it seems at first. ⛳ A medium-length finish, which is a pity, with a slightly bitter woodiness. A nice treat that continues with vanilla, stewed fruits, caramel, dark chocolate with Espelette pepper, and a touch of salty roasted coffee that’s almost drying. 🏆 A Foursquare that doesn’t fool itself. It’s very well made, shoutout to the nose and palate that respond to each other with a drumbeat. Too bad the finish lacks length and intensity.
Review by Timo Groeger
Weekend trip with my brother to our old hometown Oelde in memory of our father. A Foursquare that really hits the spot after all the Hampden :) I really like the light sweetness with coconut, vanilla, and caramel right now.

Review by Serge
Delicious Foursquare with lots of fine bourbon wood notes, nuts, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and nice roasted tones. Fits into the high level of Foursquare bottlings – clean and without big surprises.
Review by zabo
The expectations were high once again but unfortunately not fully met. This bottling shows high quality, as expected from Foursquare. However, I'm missing that final kick for a better rating.
Review by Joachim Guger
Tasted once before at Bar 1802 and found it very good. Now enjoying it at home in peace... A very well-balanced, bold Foursquare with a strong bourbon influence. Great on the palate and finish. Awesome spice! More on the upper end of Seale's work. Drinks well...
Review by Emiliano Distillatomico
Intensity, balance and character. On the nose it opens elegantly: vanilla, coconut and caramel intertwine with notes of dried fruit, orange peel and a slight balsamic hint. Over time in the glass, nuances of wood and spices emerge. On the palate it is full and enveloping with a significant strength well integrated. Alternating notes of dark chocolate, nutmeg and a touch of oak that doesn't bother! A rum with complexity that grows sip by sip. The finish is long, clean, with spicy and slightly toasted recalls that invite you to drink it again!! A well-structured Foursquare with great personality 💪💪!!
Review by Jakob
Full, rich caramel sweetness, oak vanilla, coconut, dried fruits, spices – archetypal and at the same time round and balanced, this is great Foursquare cinema. An excellent cask, great alcohol integration. Outstanding.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super Foursquare that brings everything you expect. The alcohol integration is perfect and aromatically you get liquid cappuccino with coconut, cinnamon, and plenty of dark chocolate, as well as red grapes and walnut. Nice one and a nice sweetness.
Review by Michael Schou
#1805 10-07-2026 - Rate 9.0 Enjoying a summer evening with my mate Anders. We finished off the evening with a great Foursquare. Anders had it blind a was really surprised. This is a great Foursquare.
Review by Alex Kunath
Good Foursquare. Very intense and dark in flavor. It has a bitter note that I don't like very much.
Review by Johannes
Nut, wood, chocolate, a bit alcoholic, not particularly complex, but a good Foursquare representative.
Review by CaRaph
Tasted at Bar 1802 :) Nose gives dry fruits like apricot and grape along with cocoa, orange and roasted nuts. We can also smell vanilla, dark chocolate, some wood and cappuccino tones. On palate, we find many notes of the nose, but we also get something like marmelade. It's warm and becomes soft quite quickly. Finish is very nice, average to long. Undoubtedly a very nice 2006 Foursquare.
Review by rhum
Wow, a simply magnificent Foursquare, with praline sweetness, aged wood, power and intensity, burnt caramel/molasses, all the qualities of a truly great rum. Stunning, not to mention the label which is just as beautiful.
Review by A-JW
Lots of wonderful coconut on the nose, accompanied by caramel and brown sugar. Almost 60% well integrated. Warms the heart :-) very good.
Review by Jérémie Peresse
The classic FQ profile but with such a nice and welcome pep and freshness. Banger
Review by Tomáš Jankovský
Super rum from Barbados. An absolute blast both in aroma and taste. I sensed vanilla, caramel, woody and nutty notes. On the palate, a pleasant sweetness, woodiness, and spice. One of the best rums I've had this year.

A bit too alcoholic and a bit too unexciting for what Foursquare usually can offer in their standards. I really would want this in much smoother. Still it is not terrible and has all the standard foursquare notes
