CHARACTER

A Foursquare that delivers beautiful contrast — playful yet refined, approachable yet complex. The sarsi-cola lift and dark-chocolate payoff feel right at home in Singapore, while the oolong tea backbone and candied ginger give it serious collector credentials.

One of those rare rums that turns whisky drinkers into rum believers overnight.

- Matthew Ferguson

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

Shy at first, the bouquet gently awakens with delicate violets and bright lemon zest, laced with rich demerara sugar and warming candied ginger. These notes gracefully merge into a distinctive, nostalgic cola signature that feels both playful and elegantly refined.

PALATE

Immediate and vibrant: bright citrus zest, crisp mint, and classic sarsaparilla burst forward. Is this a Mojito playfully laced with cola, or a Cuba Libre refreshed with fresh mint? Just as the question lingers, luxurious dark chocolate settles in and all bets are off.

FINISH

Graceful and lingering, layered with velvety dark chocolate and spiced candied ginger, anchored by a refined oolong tea backbone and a subtle, grounding touch of freshly ground coffee that adds beautiful depth and sophistication.
