Barbados Rum 17

Un nez de vernis et d’acétone, des fruits, des pâtisseries mais en arrière plan, banane et acérola. L’entrée de bouche est creuse, heurtée et chaotique. Le vernis/acétone domine. Après de longues secondes les fruits prennent le relais et forment une finale avec sucre brun, banane et acérola correcte. La finale, amère, mais plus équilibrée sauve ce rhum. Un des moins bon Foursquare que j’ai eu dans mon verre. Bien meilleur pourtant qu’à ma première dégustation.

Tried at the 11th GRF and perhaps the secret highlight. Tasty Foursquare with character at a reasonable and fair price. No finish or barrel experiments, plus a nice and sympathetic team behind it, has me excited!

Very pleasantly round and sweet. Almost an easy sipper. The strong spicy notes of other Foursquares are largely absent from this release - blind I would probably have been more with Belize. But of course the profile remains typical for Foursquare. Great release.

Nice, smooth Foursquare. Has everything you expect in a pleasant drinking strength.

Oh wow, super intense tropical coconut aromas on the nose. More precisely, fine coconut milk. In addition, very light and in the background banana and orange. Slowly comes a little vanilla and the wood takes over, but very subtle and rather fragrant cherry wood. I also detect a very subtle note of marzipan. Smells good. Palate: equally fruity-spicy, with coconut and orange, but first comes a tart, dry, almost metallic and slightly bitter-sour-salty thrust, which then turns into lime zest with animal currant and some oak. Then at the back again coconut with orange and still slightly metallic. Am not a ⏹️ fan, but this one is not bad.

Amazingly good Foursquare!

Tasted quickly without expectations and had one of the best FS I know in the glass.

02.03.2023 Enjoying some samples at home. Colour Medium dark in colour. Nose Round, balanced, wood, light roasted, fruity, light banana, faint coconut, faint caramel, spice. Palate Round, wood, light roasted, fruits, light orange, faint chocolate, nutmeg, light coconut, light banana, spice. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, light banana, light orange, spice, light caramel, faint chocolate.

Well rounded and wood forward FS.

An extraordinary Foursquare that is ranked very high. Very balanced and complex.

Nice daily sipper, but doesn't sweep me off my feet. This rum also does not make me a Foursquare friend, it has nothing that makes me pay attention. For my taste also too expensive.

Have now tasted this rum at the second German Rumfestival in a row. And what can I say. I just like it. Class barrel selection. Not overlaid. Successful bottling. Am glad here again a larger sample at the bottler to have grabbed. This Foursquare is fun.☺️😋

Wow, very fruity, coconut, banana, in addition pairs vanilla, caramel and chocolate. For me personally the best Barbados rum I have tasted so far.

Nach dem einfüllen ins Glas nehme ich als erstes Kokos und etwas vanille wahr. Geschmack ist sehr dünn und süß, Kokos natürlich und ganz leicht Orange. Im Abgang dann dann sehr scharfkantig und leicht scharf. Kann man sippen, aber das PLV ist eher schlecht. Sample reicht hier.

Tasted at the 11th GRF. A surprise of the festival for me. Very good tum from the house of Foursquare.
