· Paul Pacult recently gave Foursquare Spiced Rum three stars and said:
The initial nosing pass unearths scents from clove to nutmeg to cinnamon to honey. The second whiff focuses more on the spices than the sweetness, alluding to what one normally describes as Holiday spices the penultimate sniffing adds a welcome dash of citrus rind to the aromatic mix the final nosing pass, following a full twelve minutes of aeration, loses not one whit of potency or vibrancy and indeed seems to deepen into a round, almost biscuity fragrance
the palate is soft, smooth, spicy sweet and most inviting
the finish is sweet, yet zesty and spicy enough to be balanced and warming; a natural and completely viable marketplace rival of category leader Captain Morgan.
