Rating: 7/10

I’ve always found these 12 year tropically aged Foursquares to be of high quality and this one is no different. It hits those classic Foursquare notes with lots of coconut, vanilla, and dark chocolate. It’s for me, a classic kind of rum and one you certainly would not be disappointed drinking.
