Complex, rich & spicy
Hints of caramelized nuts, cedar, mocha. Aftertaste of banana ?
Recommend for sure especially as this price point . Better mixed

Rating for this one reflects the taste and a $15.00 price. Flavor was okay straight, with a strongish afterburn, but when combined with coke and the price, the rating gets better.

Good for the price but also a mixer for me. Mor similar to Doorly's than other Foursquare offerings.

I like it but Mount Gay and Foursquare make better sipping rums. Although 896 is price right. Worth having.

Thanks to Total Wine in DE for the amazing selection of rums. This is an interesting complex rum that has some nice dark flavors. I would give it a 7 1/2 if possible and it is a good value. If you like a more mature version (that is aged and not sweet) of a dark spiced rum,this is an option. Unfortunately, there are so many, better alternatives that it will be a while before I try it again.

A very smooth rum with a bit of bite. Overall a good taste and a delicious buttery smell. Definitely recommend letting it breath first

Just purchased the 5 year old at Total Wine and More in Florida as it is probably one of the only stores that carries it. Too bad as this is an enjoyable sipper. Amber colored and a mixture of fruity and woody flavors with some spice an nutty.
At $17 this is a steal and for $22 you can get it's older sibling the 8 year old which offers even more with the additional 3 years to rest in the barrel.
Definitely should be a staple rum at home...
