Foursquare Spiced Rum
Most tasters rate this one of the better spiced rums precisely because it doesn't drown in sugar or fake flavoring — it reads dry and natural for the category. Expect a lot of cinnamon and ginger, plus vanilla, butterscotch and gingerbread that people call Christmassy. A couple find the cinnamon too loud, and the low 37.5% ABV leaves it thin. Several sip it neat; others keep it for eggnog and cola.
The community says- Not overly sweet
- Natural spicing
- Keep in mind: Thin at 37.5%

How does Foursquare Spiced Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Restrained, cinnamon-forward Christmas spiced rum Widely seen as spiced rum done restrained and natural, heavy on cinnamon and gingerbread. The catch: low strength keeps it thin, and for some the cinnamon runs too hot.

The nose is all about Christmas celebrations Cinnamon, spices, baked apple, and a bit of vanilla. Really awesome Still pleasant on the palate, but unfortunately watered down by the 37.5% ABV—40% would have suited it better. The finish is super short What a shame It does well in cola, great for all beginners.

Review by Stefan Persson
Tasted this during my recent journey to Barbados. The nose is spicy and a little sweet with scents of cinnamon, pepper, vanilla, nutmeg, ginger, marmalade and caramel. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s spicy and sweet as well with the scents coming back as flavors together with toffee, orange and some bitterness.
Review by Rumbaer
Tasted at the Rum Schnacker Club Tasting 2026. Cinnamon, just full-on cinnamon and Christmas spices. Both on the nose and in the mouth. If you remember the Big Red chewing gum, that's how it tastes. Neat? Well, could work well as a mixer in cola.
Review by David Bonner
One of the finest spiced runs I’ve ever tasted , cinnamon and ginger forward.
Review by Rum Schnacker Falk Redlich
Unfiltered mega awesome spiced that turns your cola into a real Dr Pepper drink.
Review by Hans-Peter Jank
The Foursquare Spiced Rum is really something special. Richard Seal succeeded in fooling the rum community at a legendary Miami Rum Festival. At the blind tasting there, this distillate was particularly praised. No expert recognized at the time that it was a spiced rum. I taste spices, cinnamon, pepper, and vanilla. It works well as a mixer with cola.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is quite rounded. It smells like a sweet Christmas cake, sat next to a freshly poured glass of coconut water. Rather pleasant. The palate is very dry for a spiced rum. The spice hits pretty hard. The cinnamon is very present and lots of gingerbread notes. The finish is pretty short. The coconut is back from the nose. And caramel notes are most present for me here. In my opinion this is a great spiced rum. Far less sweetened than most, for me very acceptable to drink neat. A shame about the ABV.
Review by Jack M
The best spiced rum I’ve tried. Currently enjoying sipping it neat. Not overly spiced and tastes natural. Lots of cinnamon and butterscotch coming through. Obviously limited in terms of strength, depth or complexity.
Review by Lasmuertas
Might be my new favorite. Cinnamon, caramel, vanilla, slightly floral finish. Love it!
Review by Fuhgetaboutit
Smells so nice. Acrid almost oxidized finish when. Spices very softly on the palate.
Review by Mark Leggett
Delicately spiced. Aromas of vanilla, cinnamon and pastries. Flavors of gingerbread, cinnamon with hints of orange. Very enjoyable

Lovely spiced rum... Good for the soul...
Review by Barney487
Good as a mixing rum or neat if you like it sweeter. Quite a lot of flavors but all artificial in my opinion, which you can also taste. At the price of 23€ on sale, it's okay but nothing you have to have.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Not a fan of spiced rums, probably I can count just a couple that I enjoy. This one is pretty good not overwhelming spiced flavor.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Lots of cinnamon and butterscotch coming through. For me personally a bit to much cinnamon.
Review by WillSail4RhumChicago
Sweet cinnamon best ever for egg nog
Review by Kieron Wood
Wow such a delight Nose: , nutmeg, Christmas cake, marmalade and parsley. Palate: Toffee apples, sweet spices and gingerbread.
Review by Daniel
Spicy and unobtrusive sipper.
Review by Wagnerlicious
My first spiced rum that is not smothered in sweetness and overly artificial aromas. Very round. If you want to give your nose and palate a piece of Advent, this rum is a good choice. Great aromas of gingerbread, stollen, cloves, cinnamon, citrus and star anise on the nose. Round, spicy notes of clove, cinnamon, ginger and coconut on the palate. Little sweetness. Highly digestible on its own or as a cocktail with ONE shot of gingerberry and lime.
Review by Mr. B
A very good spiced rum. Use this in my Christmas eggnog

Read full review ›It does have a different kind of flavour but if this wasn't billed as a spiced rum I'm not hugely convinced many would pick up on it. Having said that this is a enjoyable rum on its own merits, I just found it surprisingly subtle. Have Foursquare made a mixing...
