How does this rum taste?
Barbados 8Y by LohRum, produced at the renowned Foursquare distillery, offers a unique experience with its cask strength 63% ABV. Aged for over eight years, this rum is a limited edition with only 31 bottles available, making it a collector's choice. Tasting notes reveal a profile dominated by spicy and chocolate tones, rounded with caramel and vanilla. The distinct nutty aroma adds to its allure. However, some users find the alcohol integration lackluster, impacting the rum's overall smoothness. This limited release also features a noticeable sharpness, which can overshadow its underlying chocolate and mocha charm. The Cognac barrel finish adds complexity, appreciated by some but jarring for others, making it a polarizing choice among rum enthusiasts.

#25th B dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: spicy, roasted Mouth: spicy, roasted, mocha Finish: long, astringend, mocha, roasted, oak, cognac This is one of the few rums I personally don't like. The alcohol could be integrated better, but for a foursquare it’s such OK This is super hard… i think this is from Monymusk ca.60% approx. 15 Years
Vielen Dank für die Zugabe im RumX-Kalender an Jarek👍🏻! Auf Foursquare wäre ich hier nie gekommen! Insgesamt überwiegt die alkoholische Schärfe, es sind jedoch schöne Ansätze von Schokolade und Mokka wahrnehmbar!
Danke in die Community für diese Zugabe im Kalender. Das Finish gibt hier etwas mehr her, während die typischen FS-Noten dominant bleiben kommt das Cognacfass vor allem im Finish zu tragen. Am Ende sind dann beide Rums etwas zu alkoholisch bzw. scharf, die richtige Balance und den richtigen Zeitpunkt für eine Abfüllung zu finden ist eben eine Kunst die man erlernen muss.
Un jeune Foursquare assez direct, qui dévoile des notes de noix de coco, de chocolat, de caramel et des épices douces avec une touche subtile de bois. Le profil olfactif typique de Foursquare est ici terriblement sommaire, simpliste et même un peu agressif avec l’alcool, dont on ressent les effluves. En bouche, l’attaque est encore plus alcoolique. La piqûre de l’alcool est assez désagréable et empêche d’apprécier les quelques arômes (déjà peu nombreux) que présente ce rhum. On peut ressentir une légère influence du fût de Cognac, mais cela ne va pas plus loin avec le caramel, le chocolat, le bois jeune, quelques fruits secs et les épices. La finale est tout aussi peu mémorable, assez courte avec ces notes caramélisées et épicées, sans grand spectacle. Un rhum malheureusement très instable et qui ne convient ni à un palais averti, ni aux néophytes.
