"My regular go-to sipper" is how one member sums up this Foursquare-made Barbados rum, and that's the vibe: caramel, oak and a surprising floral rose note, with a short, slightly weak finish. Several tasters love it as an easy everyday pour that also mixes well. A couple found the nose thin and the palate flat — pleasant, not exciting.
The community says- Easy everyday sipper
- Caramel and oak
- But: Short weak finish

This rum is very well balanced with aroma and flavor. Caramel, coconut, hints of vanilla and barrel. This has everything you could ask for in a rum and at the price point it's almost perfect.

Not good example from Foursquare legacy 😉
Review by abaker-rum
I can’t find any faults with this rum but it lacks complexity. It is smooth but you just get oak, caramel, and vanilla. It would make a great cocktail rum and is fine for a sipper, but it’s not going to drive deep thinking about the flavors.
Review by Big Greasy Daddy
A great reasonably priced rum that punches well above its weight. Terrific mixer than is totally drinkable on any to own. Great Foursquare representation and a gateway for whiskey drinkers. A little weak on the finish.
Review by Bowel Emptier
I really liked this rum. Very unique floral and rose flavor. The nose was a fairly typical spice and vanilla smell but the taste really surprised me. The finish was short but pleasant. I agree with other reviewers that it is a great sipping rum for the price.
Review by Marshall Hoopingarner
For the price, I’m not sure there is a better sipping rum.

Review by AmokTime
Disappointing after some of the glowing reviews I’ve read. I saw a 10/10 rating on YouTube, so I was expecting a great experience, but I found the nose weak and the taste flat, weak, and unremarkable. It was okay, nothing to write home about. For the price I guess it was good - it is very inexpensive.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Though 43% or 46% ABV might work nicely. An easy drinking, fairly uncomplicated rum. An everyday sipper or mixer. It's a shame this rum isn't available more widely. That said I can't really complain about the Foursquare rums available here in the UK. A definite purchase should you visit Barbados....
