Cane Rum Bottling Company Foursquare Aged in old Caroni Cask 2014
People are genuinely split on this one. It's a Foursquare that took a turn in old Caroni casks, and most tasters agree the Foursquare wins out: coconut, vanilla, caramel and chocolate up front, with only faint tar and rubber hinting at the Caroni. A few caught light mint. At 60% the heat shows, and several found it a touch sharp and unrounded for the distillery.
- Coconut and caramel
- Chocolatey nose
- Interesting blind tasting

How does Cane Rum Bottling Company Foursquare Aged in old Caroni Cask 2014 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Foursquare in Caroni casks, divisive experiment A fascinating experiment more than a knockout. The Caroni cask shows mostly as faint tar and rubber; opinions split between "well-integrated and round" and too hot, thin and short on the finish.

Review by Skyfly
Nach dem Einschenken noch recht intensiv in der Nase, nach 30 Minuten Atmen aber deutlich schwächer. Im Gaumen erkennt man dann die typischen FSQ Marker und den Caroni Einfluss der sich durch Teer, Gummi und ganz leichte Minze zeigt. Alkohol gut eingebunden
Review by DomM
Interesting experiment - especially blind. However, I feel the Caroni cask has pushed the Foursquare somewhat away from its sweet spot.
Review by Serge
Blind verkostet … auf Foursquare wäre ich – vor allem am Gaumen – nicht gekommen. Da wirkt er auf mich etwas scharf und unrund. Nase schokoladig. Guter Rum, aber als ich Foursquare gehört habe war ich etwas underwhelmed
Review by Johannes
Foursquare dominiert deutlich, auch diskrete Caroni Noten. Aber leider ist für mich der Alkohol und die Kolonne vom Foursquare zu deutlich vorhanden
Review by TraderCookie
Light nose, comprising of mostly wood with a hint of fruit, roasted nuts and caramel, might be tobacco and leather waaaaay back. Taste is Foursquare through and through, very subtle sweetness with more wood, hints of spices and burnt sugar. Mouthfeel is quite dry and leaves no stickiness Aftertaste is short, it does not stick around.
Review by Jarek
Franconian Tasting Gang trifft sich bei Rumurmel, April 2026 (Danke für den Einlass in die Rum-Schatzkammer. Was für eine coole Location!) Zum Aufwärmen ein kleines Experiment, Foursquare aus dem Caroni-Fass. Das Ergebnis ist recht interessant, aber eine Flasche davon bräuchte ich nicht. Der Alkohol ist am Gaumen recht dominant, der Abgang etwas zu kurz.
Review by Carl-Johan Thulin
På näsan så är det fat som dominerar. I smaken så är det klassisk Foursquare. Sötman är för mig perfekt. Det finns både en syrlighet och beska som jag upplever angenäm. Detta gör också att den känns torr. Djupt nere i paletten finner jag något som påminner om färskt grönt gräs. Eftersmaken är medium, förutom själva fatsmaken som är lång.
