Most tasters land on "solid but no surprises" — a classic Foursquare where the sherry cask is clearly there. Expect vanilla, raisin, toasted coconut, oak and a darker, dirtier edge of tobacco, smoke and rubber. A few find the palate thin or the sherry a touch heavy; others love the dark chocolate that shows up late. The 56% is well integrated.
The community says- Dark chocolate finish
- Well-integrated 56%
- But: Thin palate

Dark, sherried Foursquare with coconut and oak Most call it a good, dark, sherried Foursquare — vanilla, coconut and dried fruit with a dirty edge. The catch: some find it thin on the palate or slightly over-sherried.

As expected, another solid Foursquare bottling as always. The finish is a little different from the usual. A nice experiment that I think is a success. But for the current price being asked in stores, it's completely over the top.

Nose: way too much solvent, right cloud that bothers me! Taste: dry, metallic, astringent, fresh, spicy, musty-wet cellar, then awesome finish of cocoa and grape and some citrus. Beautiful thing but for me a little unclean!
Review by Oliver
Excellent Foursquare. Rather on the dark, spicy side with dirty, smoky notes. Special, but really good!
Review by Marcel.
My first high end rum bottle, was a family present which made me move on from whiskey into rum. Very nice balanced flavors of Fruits, wood from the sherry cask, and a little dirty note of tar and rubber.
Review by DomM
Nicely balanced Foursquare. Sherry influence is noticeable but well executed and adds to the classic Foursquare profile. Very solid release as you would expect from Foursquare and The Whisky Exchange.
Review by Timo Groeger
And then a very good Foursquare afterwards. I think it's in third place for me in the distillery rankings. Lots of coconut, which was to be expected, slight sweetness thanks to caramel and vanilla. A solid rum.
Review by Adde
chocolate, what a marvelous taste of dark chocolate. Soft and creamy, yummi!
Review by Serge
Solid Foursquare with a little too much sherry for me - especially on the palate. Goes in the dark direction - which I like. But somehow with too much sherry. I like the dark, but somehow not really at the level I would expect for a higher rating. The dry notes mix too much with the sherry notes here
Review by Joachim Guger
Similar profile to the ECS 2004, but less coconut, cleaner. Overall, the 2004 is in a different class. Post Tasting Note: Even with 2cl I had a slight hangover several times the next morning. Perhaps too much sulphur in the casks.
Review by Eugene227
A strong, dark Foursquare. Raisins, vanilla, coconut, and oak meet tobacco, solvents, and a bit of smoke. Full and spicy, somewhat dry in places and influenced by sherry. Overall very good, but not quite balanced.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get are notes from well roasted wood like leather, nuts, caramel, smoke and spices like cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, we have a malt note-do we have a single malt in front of us?Some varnish is here... On aeration, citrus is out, perhaps lemon, orange peel, tropical fruits like toasted coconut, dried fruits like raisins, apricots. Some chocolate, biscuits round up notes, there is a bit vegetal molasses with black tea. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is spicy with vanilla, nutmeg, as the wood is roasted with nuts, cream toffee, leather, smoke.There is inevitable toasted coconut, dryness, the fruits are dried with raisins, apricots.The molasses is musty, tobacco is present. 8,3:The finish is long, a bit bitter with earthy molasses, cigar note, the wood is charred, dry and spicy, there are dried fruits and coconut..
Review by Rumclub Latvia
This one little bit disappointed me. Need to try again…
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Since this is the first dram from the just opened bottle, this rum did sit in the glass for a good 30 minutes. On the nose: Smoky,oaky, rubbery and tobacco notes. Kind of dark and dirty with honey notes to balance it out. There is also vanilla notes and raisin notes in the background. Did not expect this from Foursquare. Taste: Here we have more familiar notes. Vanilla, spices,coconut, oak, tobacco notes in the background. Dry. Little bit of that dirt in the mouthfeel. In the end you get some chocolate notes. Finish: Woody, vanilla and earthy notes. Dry. Short finish. Interesting rum from Foursquare as this one has different, more darker notes in the palate, but it still has familiar Foursquare style. Not for everyone, but absolutely worth of tasting.
Review by Fuwi
Solid basic Foursquare that hardly surprises. On the nose vanilla and the sherry comes through lightly, on the tongue first a bit of slightly unpleasant sharpness with woody notes and dark fruits at the back. Was exciting to try, thanks to @zabo for the split and to my daughter for the LED ambiance!
Review by Martin Mihaly
Very strong rum, I'm impressed, nice round nose of red fruits, vanilla and dark, toffee, caramel, rusty and smoky. On the palate strongly round chocolate cola taste, smoky, woody. A bit of tobacco and brandy notes. In the finish nicely sharp, warm fruity.
Review by Leo Krüper
Sherry Foursquare. Simple but good. With the 56% very pleasant to drink on a medium-warm summer evening.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Really great delicious nose. On the palate then a bit disappointing as it feels a bit thin. Lots of wood. The sherry casks are definitely noticeable. A nice sipper...
Review by GigiMartini
Un Foursquare piuttosto classico, in questo caso l'apporto dello sherry è evidente e ben gestito. Alcool ben integrato
Review by Pavel Spacek
Too flat, less chocolate more coffee... Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum especially appreciated by rum lovers who are fed up with sugar and are looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.
Review by bossi
Blind tasting: the nose already gives a clear indication that it must be a Foursquare rum: brine, almonds, caramel, vanilla – rather Spanish than British. On the palate still everything rather Spanish with a hint of British ;). Unbalanced body, medium age (14-16 years), little complexity with high alcohol content (55-60%), which is however rather well integrated! Unfortunately not quite my thing, which is not unusual for me with Foursquare. 69 points

Read full review ›For me, this is one of the top sherry-aged rums I've ever had. The 14 years of aging really show, and that wood in the nose and taste is truly amazing. 56% alcohol is just right for me.
Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›They both like this a lot as well but maybe not as much as me! So the question is did Sukhinder and Co at The Whisky Exchange get a good Private Cask Selection? Put it this way I'll be getting a few more bottles come pay day! Sweet but not...
