    How does this rum taste?

    The "Barbados No. 18" rum is crafted at the renowned Foursquare distillery by The Colours of Rum. Distilled from molasses using both pot and column stills, this 11-year-old, 61.1% ABV cask-strength rum is known for its limited release of just 259 bottles. Users highlight its strong alcoholic scent with vanilla, bourbon, and spicy toffee undertones. The palate is primarily alcoholic, with spicy, burnt sugar, and vanilla notes that some find reminiscent of bourbon. Opinions vary, with critiques focusing on the lack of complexity and harsh alcohol presence, while others appreciate its traditional rum characteristics.

    Not at all as similar to Foursquare 2009 as I thought, but very good one!

    Blind hätte ich gesagt weniger Prozent als die Ed. 17 in der Nase. Ansonsten sehr ähnliches Profil. Im Abgang kräftiger.

    ... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.

    Ist das eigentlich ein Schwesterfass von der No 17? Riecht sehr ähnlich, wen wenig weniger käsig. Geschmack sehr süß und zunächst scharf alkoholisch. Auch in Abgang bleibt eine brennende süße und verbindet sich mit Pappkarton.
