Overall this is just fine for me. The finish runs a bit short, and I find the flavors to be a bit simple and leaning a bit too sweet for me. The tannins really present themselves as a bitter agent in the finish and palate. I can see the appeal of this rum, but other Foursquare offerings fare better for me.
