How does this rum taste?
Barbados Ed. 8, a 22-year Foursquare from The Colours of Rum, gives classic FS vibes with lots of wood, roasted coconut, and dark chocolate, plus a hint of nail polish and glue throughout. Michael Schou highlights its evolving appeal: "Enjoys it more and more for every time I taste it." Rowald Sweet Empire calls it "very coconutty. Roasted coconut. Dryish. Glue." While the profile is predictably Foursquare, many enjoy its balance of wood, spice, and subtle fruity-banana notes. The ABV integration gets mixed notes, but it's solid and nicely aged.

Not a surprising profile. Very very FS. But a good one. Very coconutty. Roasted coconut. Dryish. Glue. Butterscotch. Virgin oak. The age tamed the flavours a bit. Lovely.
Compared to the other 1998 in the CoR series, the complexity is lacking here - the herbal notes are just as weakly represented as are the heavy vanilla and toffee sweetness. Solid in the best sense, slight plus points for the recognizable barrel influence.
Klassischer Foursquare, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Alcohol not so well integrated.
