Foursquare 2009 12-Year

I wasn't too sure what to expect as I've had the 2007 but not the 2008. The 2009 is very bold, peppery, sweet with caramel nose and flavors and subtle hints of fruit and spices. It goes down VERY warm which I love. There is a commonality among most of their rums yet I can never truly describe them to do them justice. All I can say is if you love rums (and you probably do if you are here reading this) then do yourself a favor and try every Foursquare rum you can find. They're worth it!

Surprised this hasn’t had a full house given to it yet so here is one from me. This is better than the 2007, and as good as the 2008. Different yes, more subtle, less burn and dangerously easy to sip. Richard Seale is a genius 👌

Endnu en god rom fra fra Foursquare. Så det så det.

This rum does not try to do anything unusual or exceptional. But if you are the kind of person who creates a Rum Ratings account, and willing to spend this much on a bottle, it's a safe solid choice for a sipper that will still be complex and strong and subtly sweet over ice. There's a bit of burn at the end, but that's not so bad when you are drinking slow and pondering Deep Rum Thoughts. Explore at leisure.

For those who like Foursquare 2008 do not hesitate and buy if it would still be available.
Very similar profile to 2008 - 60%, 12 years,smell-toffife,orange and raisins.
Taste-a lot of strains of sweet ripe fruits with dominance of cherry.
Strong kick at the end.

Deep brown sugar nose. Lots of leather and heavy char, slight smoke and spice. It’s certainly a bold rum yet limited burn - which is interesting. Yet a little too high for me right from the bottle to get many flavours, better after a few mins of ice. Honestly I don’t find it overly complex or complicated, and the flavours don’t evolve. Interesting to try but not my favourite.

While it’s not the best Four Square has produced, it’s still a 10 for me.

So well balanced. Flavor so complext my brain going on overdrive. Smoth and tastfull. Best rum for me. Love it!!

Enjoyable on the palate. Intense at first and then smooths out.

Foursquare and Richard Seale have helped drive the recent resurgence rum has experienced. This bottle is a perfect example of why they've been so successful. To have a product this complex completely free of additives is something special. If you see a bottle, don't hesitate to get one!
