Made for Foursquare regulars who already know the house style and just want a good single cask of it. Thirteen years in ex-bourbon gives coconut, vanilla, caramel and milk chocolate, with peppery spice and a whiff of glue and polish. Tasters call it a clean, "easy sipper" — round and tasty, if a bit familiar. Comfortable rather than surprising.
The community says- Classic FS profile
- Long chocolatey finish
- Keep in mind: A bit predictable

How does The Rum Mercenary & Kintra Foursquare Sample X 2007 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Classic, spicy Foursquare single cask Most tasters see a well-made, classic Foursquare — coconut, caramel, dark chocolate and pepper. The common gripe: it's good but predictable, with a couple finding the alcohol and spice a touch loud.

Today a comparison between two Foursquare: 1. Sample X (Kintra) Single Cask, 59.8%: A decent Foursquare. Easy sipper with the known typical Foursquare aromas. 2. Ferroni Barbados 2012 63.4%: Typical Ferroni, very intense. Everything you also have in the previously mentioned Foursquare aromas is here too, just much more intense. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not very well integrated, but this one is still fun.

I just retasted this one today and wow it's good. I love when the lips are tingling and mouth and throat is warm when sipping. I will need to get a backup bottle for myself and I will add it to my tastings as a joker.
Review by Leo Krüper
Great Foursquare at the level of the standard ECS Vintage Range. Reasonable PLV with available purchase options, despite the single cask with 290 bottles.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 You find the typical characteristics of Foursquare, Bourbon oak, coconut oil, vanilla caramel and milk chocolate, spicy chocolate but also some subtleties that define this selection, notably a delicate floral note of lavender and a nougat gourmandise. It is complemented by a fruity side of candied orange, sour cherry and dried fruits. A bit of glue and polish. Alcohol quite lively and intense without being disturbing. A pleasant nose that deserved a bit more complexity. 😋 Grape eau-de-vie, dried fruits, toasted coconut, banana bread. Then, a lot of presence of the oak cask, spices, chocolate, cooked vanilla, cinnamon stick, buttery caramel, Bourbon profile. A rather alcoholic mouth, a dry, dark profile also, quite gourmand but not very complex. ⛳ Long, warm, spicy, bitter, dry. Roasted oak, hot caramel, spices (pepper, vanilla), chocolate, some dried fruits. It really lasts a long time on this spicy dark chocolate side. A good point. 💡 A relatively typical Foursquare with some small subtleties that differentiate it from the many ECS and Velier bottlings. For a price around 70€, it's a good QPR.
Review by Pavel Spacek
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 looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.
Review by Jakob
Nice, round Foursquare with clear sweetness of caramel and vanilla, which, however, never tips into the "sticky". Recognizable spice and discreet alcohol provide a harmonious counterbalance to this. Classic profile with high sweetness, but without great complexity. Nevertheless, a successful bottling.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
On the nose, it's woody (13 years of ageing, you can tell), with peppery spices and freshly grated nutmeg. There's also something heavier, resinous (glue, varnish). But this is still Foursquare, so there's coconut, chocolate, banana and vanilla. It's a pretty attractive and concentrated nose, but it's a little known and recognized on Foursquare. On the palate, it's very gourmand, spicy but not too spicy. Lots of sweetness with dried fruit, dark chocolate and tobacco. Fruits are also present : p
Review by Johannes
As with FS most- good and nice, does not hurt, but somehow something is missing....
Review by Joachim Guger
Typical Foursquare in the usual quality. This one is a touch more caramel and very spicy. A very good rum on a well-trodden path. If you want a Fourquare with a good PLV, this is the right choice.
Review by Tom Buteneers
I don't know if the 91 points are entirely correct, but I rate it just a little higher than the ECS 2008 (90 points) which I find a little more bitter than this one. Maybe I should take the 2008 back in and compare again from there....
Review by Jacques etdom
Classic Foursquare on vanilla, caramel and a bit of coconut. The spices are very (too) present, the alcohol is not very well integrated, but the most disturbing is a perfume-like taste in the mouth, which I don't like at all and which ruins everything.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
I could suggest it is nice classic Foursquare rum matured in ex bourbon barrels. Nothing special here, just round, classic expression with high ABV. Nice sipper, but there are lots of alternatives to this…
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Typical FS nose: the glueish nose/grain whisky. Pretty good but also as expected so also a bit boring because FS is standard good/great. Pretty active cask.
