CHARACTER
In two words – Christmas Chainsaw. This Foursquare delivers exactly that: raw mechanical edge meets festive indulgence in liquid form.
The sawdust and two-stroke nose gives it serious character, while the Christmas cake, preserved fruits and black- pepper spice create a bold, nostalgic dram that feels both powerful and surprisingly refined.
Perfect for Singapore rum lovers who want something with real personality and depth — one sip and you’re hooked.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE
In two words – Christmas Chainsaw. Aromas of sawdust and two-stroke, dramatically elevated by preserved fruits, bright orange peel, fig and rich dark brown sugar.
PALATE
A bold and powerful dram bursting with treacle, zesty orange reduction, plump raisins, preserved cherries and full Christmas cake richness. Black pepper and licorice add silky, intriguing depth.
FINISH
Long, deep and satisfying, with black pepper, golden honey, toasted oak and a bright lift of lime peel that lingers beautifully.
