How does this rum taste?
The "Barbados No. 17" is a distinctive rum distilled by Foursquare in Barbados. Selected by The Colours of Rum, it features a combination of Pot and Column Still processes. Aged for 11 years and bottled at cask strength with 59.3% ABV, this limited release of only 264 bottles stands out. Users describe its aromatic profile as dominated by vanilla, woody and bourbon notes, with a potent alcoholic hint. The palate is noted for spicy, woody, and chocolate tastes. While the rum is complex and carries signature Foursquare traits, some find the alcohol presence overpowering. Its uniqueness stems from five years of tropical and six years of continental aging, making it an interesting pick for rum enthusiasts.

Got a sample of this Foursquare rum for free from RumX. It’s a mix of column and pot still distilled rum aged for 11 years in an ex-bourbon cask, 5 years in the tropics and 6 years continentally whereafter it’s bottled in 264 bottles at 59,3%. Overall an interesting and elegant Foursquare rum that’s a little different from their own bottlings, maybe because of the continental aging.
Quite alcoholic nose with some vanilla and coconut. On the palate, the alcohol is still too present. This is again joined by the typical coconut and vanilla notes. Rather disappointing Foursquare.
#4732 20.05.2024 Relaxing at home with a few samples. Nose Fresh, intense, fruity, wood, faint roasted, pineapple, vanilla, faint chocolate. Palate Medium intense, light wood, faint smoke, fruity, banana, medium spicy, light dry, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, pineapple, light chocolate, spice. The empty glass has stronger chocolate and light nutts. Needs to rest for a good while in order to settle and release all its flavours.
Nose goes to orange (No 18) versus blue (No 17). Palate the other way round. Both significantly below the regular 2010 ECS, however.
