How does this rum taste?
Barbados No. 1 is classic Foursquare: a rum where oak, vanilla, coconut, and toffee lead the charge, rounded out with honey and gentle spices. RumX members often touch on its reliability and gentle sweetness, with @crazyforgoodbooze calling it “recht süß, kräftig und gefällig” and @Artur Schönhütte noting it as a “bit boring but reliable profile.” Tropical fruit and roasted notes creep in alongside an easy finish—think "light oily, spice, light wood, raisin," from @Kevin Sorensen. There’s plenty of warmth and astringency from its cask strength, but no surprise twists—"it remains a classic Foursquare,” says @Jakob. Fine for those after an unpretentious, honest Barbadian sip.

Recht süß, kräftig und gefällig.
Compared to the newer vintages, the rum becomes a bit more closed, a fine glue note is added to the profile, paired with some minerality. However, major surprises remain absent, it remains a classic Foursquare.
