L'Esprit Rhum Foursquare 2005-2020 is a premium molasses-based rum from Barbados, expertly presented by the renowned French bottler, L'Esprit. This rum hails from the prestigious Foursquare distillery, which is led by the esteemed Richard Seale. Distilled in November 2005, this exquisite spirit is a blend of pot-still and column Coffey still distillates, aged together to perfection in classic ex-bourbon casks.
Bottled in October 2020, after nearly 15 years of maturation, L'Esprit Rhum Foursquare 2005-2020 is a single cask release limited to just 270 bottles. This rum is bottled straight from the cask, ensuring no coloring or cold filtration, which preserves its natural richness and concentration.
At an impressive ABV of 60.5%, this rum offers a captivating flavor profile that starts with irresistible caramelized nougat, salted butter caramel, macadamia nuts, rich hazelnuts, and a touch of coconut oil. The beautiful concentration and expertly executed American oak partition immediately draw you in. A slight solvent note, indicating its concentration, lies beneath a light veil, accompanied by toasted coconut and sun-warmed vanilla, radiating warmth.
With aeration, the rum softens and rounds out, developing flavors of light milk chocolate, praline, and cocoa ganache. It evokes the richness of fatty hazelnut paste, offering a sophisticated and nuanced rum experience with a complex interplay of spices, tropical fruit, and toasted notes.

The rum has an intense coconut and vanilla aroma. On the palate, it exhibits rich and oily textures with vanilla and coconut milk flavors, though some find it slightly too oily. The finish is long, with a pronounced coconut oil presence, which some may find overly dominant. Despite this, it remains a well-balanced and successful representation of the Foursquare distillery, praised for its complex aging and rich nose.
