    How does this rum taste?

    The Paulsen Collection Barbados Rum, from Foursquare distillery and bottled by Marussia Beverages, is a 10-year-old rum distilled in 1998 using pot stills from molasses. With a 40% ABV, it offers aromas of toffee, vanilla, and coconut, followed by flavors of caramel, oak, and vanilla. Users highlight its balanced profile, making it ideal for beginners. It’s an approachable and easy-drinking rum with mild complexity, though some note a lack of depth due to its dilution.

    RumX Rarities jour 2. Un nez de la Barbade avec des fruits tropicaux, coco, mais aussi des fruits jaunes, poire et pomme. Un léger vernis. La bouche est douce, les arômes se développent harmonieusement, beaucoup de fruits et le bois est discret, tout comme l’alcool (mais ce rhum n’a que 40%). La finale n’est pas très longue, harmonieuse comme l’ensemble de ce rhum très agréable. Le verre vide est plus sur le bois et une amertume qui donne du relief aux fruits.

    Auf dieses „Foursquare-Urgestein“ war ich schon sehr gespannt. Bereits 2008 abgefüllt und reines Column Still Destillat. Tolle Foursquare-DNA in der Nase - obwohl hier kein Pot Still Anteil mit dabei ist. Viel Kokosnuss, Vanille, Marshmallows und etwas Zitrusfrüchte. Schöner Holzeinfluss. Die Verdünnung macht ihn sehr elegant und einladend. Am Gaumen cremig, rund und sehr süß (ohne künstlich zu wirken). Durch die Verdünnung fehlt dem Rum etwas der Wumms. Aber für einen entspannten Abend genau das Richtige! 😙🥃

    Lecker, wenn auch etwas „verdünnt“ am Gaumen.

    Elegant and surprisingly intensive nose given the low ABV. Unfortunately, this is much more noticeable on the palate. Very pleasant and elegant on the palate yet again. This one is a nice example of an excellent column Rum.
