Eye: Gold. Coating the glass' walls allows an eye-intriguing dispersal of medium-paced legs to run down the glass.

Nose: Bright. Herbal, grassy traces (not unlike those in some rhum agricole from Guadeloupe, for example). Little dried red berries. Cake with icing. Crushed strawberry. Stewed rhubarb. An inviting nose with only a few of the classic Barbados rum markers. The pineau finish is the more impactful.

Palate + finish: Good mouthfeel - coats the palate. Gourmand and dessert-y on one hand, bright and grassy on the other hand. Fresh. Good acidity. The alcohol level is really well measured. Anise. Stewed rhubarb. Cake: financier aux fraises. Definitely a rum but not an obvious Foursquare Barbados rum. Finish is medium.

Really a pleasant trio of smell, taste, and mouthfeel. Easy and fun to taste.

Tasted from a complimentary sample: The colour of this rum is a light copper with golden reflexes. Inviting nose with fine grassy and herbal notes like rhum agricole and followed by sweet strawberries and appreciable pineau character. Nice mouthfeel, light to medium weight on the palate, fresh...

Beautifully presented and upon opening the nose is wonderful. Drinking slowly (if possible) it's even better.

Perfection and finished exquisitely

What do you get when you start with a good rum in Foursquare, and then finish it meticulously?? Perfection! Lovely fruits greet the nose in the form of berries, and perhaps some tree fruits, with subtle herbal notes at the rim. As it opens, those wonderful Foursquare notes are revealed with fruit,...

A treat for rum and cognac lovers

This is exactly what one would expect from this marriage. This is still a rum but with a strong presence of cognac and pineau. For all those who love rum, cognac and pineau I would strongly recommend this. Even for those who are not into rum, this would be a good starting point, as it has enough of...
