My third Foursquare review of the week is something of a unicorn in the rum world currently (2020).

Foursquare’s first collaboration with Velier, the 10 year old Single Blended Rum, “2006”.

Is this as tasty as you remember when it first came out?

The second of three Foursquare reviews this week is an independent bottling – Foursquare 2005 “Milano Rum Festival” – aged 12 years and 57%.

As good as Plenipotenziario?
Better than Nobiliary?
