7.7/10

You get exactly what you expect from a Foursquare here. The nose is a bit different, alongside coconut there are also red fruits and some chocolate. On the palate, a slight sweetness thanks to the coconut.

7.9/10

I'm happy to write the first comment on this rum here. This is naturally a subjective opinion according to my taste. The nose is nicely sweet with tropical fruits, chocolate, a bit of coffee and of course raisins. Roasted wood. On the palate, the light 55% is hardly noticeable, for me it's a bit watery and too thin, not as intense as I expected but the taste is good, sweet but not much. Anyway, the taste is fruity, raisins and roasted wood, a bit of coffee and chocolate. The finish is light, not very long, alcohol is well integrated with no sharp edges. I think this is a rum you can always drink, nothing outstanding but still with good taste.
