Tasting Notes (www.rumgallery.com):
As soon as the bottle is opened, a woody Bajan bouquet emerges to fill the air briefly with delightful scents. Foursquare Port Cask Finish shows a dark copper color in a tasting glass. Legs run thick and long after swirling, aerating the rum, releasing mesmerizing aromas and more olfactory pleasures ahead.

And those scents are unmistakably Foursquare; a lithe blend of pot-and column distillates, easy on the nose with a slightly sweet undertone and soft nutmeg spice, but with an additional subtle crisp top note from the Port casks, I suppose. The two types of barrels used in the sequential aging are quite apparent, contributing oaken vanilla, significant phenols (scents of paraffin), smells of a thick butter-and-lard flour pie crust, then caramel, nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon. This is one delicious smelling rum-soaked pumpkin pie. Initial tasting enables the waxy, oaky, vanilla flavours to shine on a medium-weight body of creamy texture, ending slowly, each flavor and aroma delivered in balanced proportions through to the finish.
