Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Fresh red apples, baked apples with dark brown sugar, white-wine-poached pears, fruity boiled sweets, foam strawberries and bananas, sultanas and plump raisins, and a touch of rum 'n' raisin ice cream. That all sits on top of a pile of rich cake – Jamaican-style ginger cake (sorry Barbados) with treacle sauce, rich fruit cake and a hint of chocolate fudge cake.
Palate
Packed with flavour and quite intense. A burst of cinnamon is followed by spicy ginger and layers of stewed, baked and dried fruit: raisin jam, baked apples and pears, dried mango and roasted banana. Dark sugars build – treacle toffee and singed caramel – with tarry touches and golden syrup.
Finish
Long, spicy and rich, with treacle toffee slowly fading away.
Dawn Davies MW, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Cassia bark, dried orange peel, coffee, cigar boxes, tobacco and dark, pan-roasted spices.
Palate
Brown sugar, dates, buttered toffee popcorn, nutmeg, cinnamon and a hint of clove with warming spice on the finish.
Comment
A rum for the whisky lover who likes a rich, sherry-cask dram.
Mystique
Exclusive to The Whisky Exchange, this elegant and complex rum from Foursquare will delight whisky lovers and anyone else who appreciates fine spirits. After a decade in ex-bourbon barrels it was transferred to ex-sherry casks for a final four years – layering the fruity spirit with mature notes of coffee, raisins and tobacco. Full-term tropical maturation has sped up the integration of oak and spirit, increasing the evaporation rate and ultimately generating a complex character, typically found in much older spirits.
The Forward Looking Foursquare
There are decades' worth of rum-producing history on master blender and distiller Richard Seale’s shoulders, going back four generations. But it was his pioneering nature and his truly contemporary outlook that has helped to cement Foursquare distillery as one of the most respected rum producers in the world. This is best demonstrated through the Exceptional Cask Selection series: Seale hand-picks one-of-a-kind expressions which showcase the quality of his Barbados rum and its ability to pair with a plethora of cask styles.

A huge thank you to the team at The Whisky Exchange for making this bottle possible. My first experience with Foursquare Mystique 14 Year Old was fascinating — and definitely not an easy rum at first. At 62% ABV, the first encounter is powerful, but giving it time in the glass completely changes the experience. On the nose, I found a very interesting combination: the refined citrus and orange peel notes reminded me somewhat of Appleton 21, while the structure and depth brought back memories of Flor de Caña 25. Dried fruits, dark notes and, especially, liquorice gradually became more apparent as the rum opened up. But what impressed me most was the texture. There is a remarkable viscosity and almost oily creaminess on the palate. It completely fills the mouth, and the finish is exceptionally long. The alcohol never really disappears — it becomes integrated. Once the initial intensity settles, layer after layer starts to reveal itself. Orange peel and dried fruit remain throughout the palate, with that liquorice note adding another dimension. It is powerful, but at the same time remarkably rounded, elegant and composed. Compared with Foursquare Magisterium, Mystique felt less assertive and more integrated to me — more velvety and rounded, with the texture being perhaps its most distinctive quality. And this was only the first pour from a freshly opened bottle. I’m very curious to see how it evolves over time. A complex, challenging and deeply rewarding rum. Thank you, The Whisky Exchange. This one was quite an experience.
Just tried this rum,which I found delicious. Nose - sweet scented floral with heavy fruit notes. Palate - really fruity, lemon/vanilla twang, with spiceness throughout and a dry tobacco seething through. touches of vanilla and prune Finish - covers the palate exceptionally well, long dry finish accentuating the tobacco and spice . Comment : If you're a bourbon fan , you won't be disappointed...
Over my lifetime I have tried many different hi end rums. All have their own distinctive flavour. This Mystique from The Foursquare Distillery is the best yet. Can't say fairer than that.
Great, the taste is strong and thick, lingering in your mouth for a long time.
