    How does this rum taste?

    The "No. 23 Barbados FS" is a limited edition rum, distilled in 2006 at the Foursquare distillery in Barbados, aged 16 years, and bottled by Nobilis Rum. It offers a robust profile with dominant coconut, woody, and fruity aromas and flavors. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 65.4%, it's noted for its intense character but also criticized for the strong alcohol presence. While it showcases classic Foursquare notes, users suggest letting it rest to mellow its fiery nature. This rum is a rare find with only 238 bottles available, appealing to those who appreciate high-proof, complex rums with substantial aging.

    This is a very nice Foursquare and I like the ABV which I think enhances the overall result. Nice and woody profile without being too dominant. Fruity and well balanced with light spices. The empty glass is wonderful after an hour. Remember to rest for a good while or the ABV will take over your senses.

    Classic Foursquare with a lot of punch, the alcohol adds to the intensity but also closes off some of the flavors, which doesn't change noticeably even after just under an hour in the glass. In direct comparison, the slightly more reduced bottled Foursquares work better for me.

    Nose: woody, spicy, tangerine peel, banana, some alcohol Palate: Banana, vanilla, light tangerine (as if they are still a little hard and do not peel well), woody finish, alcohol not so well integrated

    The nose is much more pleasant than the mouth. Badly integrated ABV make for a certain unpleasantness in the mouth.
