CHARACTER

A Foursquare that feels like a tropical daydream with a savoury backbone — the meadow flowers and smoky bacon on the nose are pure Barbados poetry, while the coconut-papaya payoff and Szechuan pepper finish make it feel right at home in Singapore.

Creamy yet vibrant, approachable yet complex — this is the kind of rum that turns whisky drinkers into rum believers. Serious collector material with everyday drinkability.

- Matthew Ferguson

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

Soothing and inviting, the bouquet opens with delicate meadow flowers, golden honey and freshly squeezed lime, woven together with soft vanilla. Layers of smoky bacon and the faintest whisper of machine oil add a beautifully savoury, almost industrial charm that is pure Foursquare character.

PALATE

A tightly knit ball of talc, bright lime, creamy white chocolate and vanilla unfolds elegantly, giving way to lush waves of coconut, ripe papaya and banana, lifted by a gentle hint of puffed rice that brings wonderful texture and lightness.

FINISH

Beautifully balanced and lingering. Warming spices of clove, anise and Szechuan pepper are beautifully bound by bright grapefruit oil, leaving a clean, aromatic warmth that invites another sip.
