Rum Runner Foursquare 15 ans 58.3°: Description and customer reviews

Rum Runner Foursquare 15 ans is a molasses rum from the island of Barbados. It is a single cask selected by the young French independent bottler Rum Runner. The brand pays tribute to the fast boats that carried barrels of contraband liquor, particularly rum, during Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933).

This rum was distilled in a column still in November 2005 by Foursquare, a distillery built in 1737 on the site of a former sugar refinery. It bears the MBFS mark. The rum then spent many years ageing in ex-bourbon casks, before being given a mystery finish...

It was bottled by Craft Spirit in September 2021. A total of 398 bottles were released.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose offers us an intense, concentrated, roasted Foursquare, underpinned by toasty oak where still-smoldering nuts give off deeply brown aromas. The fire-cracked cask shows at times its tender, vanilla flesh, from which a coconut milk escapes to soothe the burns.

With aeration, the fury of fire and charcoal fades away, giving way to gourmandise. Our oak is now completely melted into a chocolate with caramel, vanilla and coconut. The roasted nuts are coated with a touch of solvent that airs the whole, and everything is ready for tasting.

The palate initially shows a certain tenebrous side, just as on the nose. Then, in the same way, it melts and spreads out cheerfully in roundness, with a most pleasing concentration. The encaustic American oak gives off flavors of maple syrup, caramelized nuts and a good handful of sweet spices.

The finish is a little more roasted, with a hint of coffee alongside sticky, typically liquorice molasses.

"A Foursquare that starts out black and concentrated, then melts into a soft, vanilla oak..."
