Foursquare distilleries in the South-East of Barbados does a fantastic line in single cask aged unadulterated rums.
Not blended, not from a solera, not sweetened, but given its own character from the treatment usually expected from a single malt whisky, and in this case - ageing in Bourbon and Port casks for 9 years.
The bottle is a bit disappointing - it is the standard bottle also used for a lot of the Doorly's with a cheap screw top.
In the glass the rum is a deep amber with a big, smooth aroma. None of the smokiness of the Doorly's XO, but with a deep warm port note, that carries all the way through.
In the mouth it is exceptionally smooth, with the raisin and fig notes given extra depth by the port finish. it is a dry rum without vanilla notes.
Finish is a gentle burn with the aroma lingering really well.
This is the kind of carefully crafted quality, that is turning me away from my entry favourites of Zacapa and Plantation, which focus on consistency by blending and appeal by adding sugar.
This stuff is inconsistently gorgeous!

An amazing sipper. It's like a drier Dos Madaras PX 5*5 except less sweet. Can't wait to finish off this bottle. Sad I couldn't buy more.

Le nez est doux et plutôt discret, et est porté par un duo vanille/boisé accompagné de certains fruits (cassis, cerise).
L’attaque est douce en bouche et confirmera les mêmes saveurs.
La finale est légèrement boisée et nous laisse avec une impression de gâteau pâtissier.
Ce n’est pas un mauvais rhum mais trop gourmand pour mon gout.

Anything from Foursquare is normally very good and this is no exception.. Lovely fruity aroma with black cherries prominant I think. Leave to evaporate the vapours for 5 mins. Just the right amount of port for me with a slightly smokey finish. I also got the other two in the cask series for my birthday so happy days for a while yet !

Got the chance to compare this one to the more expensive Zinfandel cask and 2004 Bourbon cask and I have to say this one blew those out of the water. Reminded me a bit of the Mount Gay Black Barrel (as it does have significant bourbon barrel aging) but definitely a step above. Wouldn't say it's especially complex but taking into account the price point it really does a good job.

Really smooth with lots of flavor. No burn. A little port flavor finish.

This is a fun rum that's very casky and delightful in flavour.

I really like this one, and a best buy, hard to find a medium dry (in my opinion) rum at this price, maybe not even possible, will suit Malt whisky drinkers perfectly.

I really like this rum. Smooth and enjoyable neat. I will try it again this weekend with just a little water and then on the rocks and will update my comments after.

Dejlig og smagfuld og portvinsfadene gar givet en god rund eftersmag bedste fra Foursquare efter min mening.

Very good... color amber, flavor(s) already stated by multiple reviewers (true to form). Excellent rum, price... it's a no brainer. "Select Cask Selection..." Hugh thank you for doing the heavy lifting. Wonderful Rum... Cheers!
