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.

RumXmas 2022, #25, Bonus A & B: I poured the samples during Christmas dinner with family, so it wasn’t really the occasion for a lot of analysis up front. A is the original 8YO Foursquare and B is this one (extra 9 months in cognac cask). So far I’m not always a fan of cognac finishes because I often find it adds a sort of “harshness” to the rum, what I also find in this case. Both samples needed a lot of time to open up and even after a couple of hours the alcohol is stil present. It’s interesting to taste these two samples next to eachother. The A sample was more round to me and the B a little less sweet. After a lot of time some Foursquare notes were present, more detectable in A. I’m glad that the situation caused me to take a lot of time, it did justice to the rum.
#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
Nachdem ich nun Batch#2 probiert habe, also back to the Roots und Batch#1 probieren. Die Bewertungen die ich schon vorher mal gelesen hatte, kann ich so nicht bestätigen. Vermutlich liegt es daran, das mein Sample das ich von Flo bekommen habe, aus einer Flasche ist, die schon länger geöffnet ist. Die typischen Foursquare Noten kann ich hier schon schmecken, genauso wie das Cognac Finish. Finde den Rum eher kräftig, der Alkohol ist zwar nicht perfekt eingebunden, aber denoch erträglich. Für den ersten Versuch, nochmals riesen Respekt an euch.
