How does this rum taste?
The 2005 Rum from Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, bottled by Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro, is a 12-year aged spirit with an ABV of 57%. Distinctive for its coconut, caramel, and vanilla aromas, it offers a complex palate dominated by vanilla, tropical fruits, and woody notes. Selected as a limited edition with only 318 bottles, this rum showcases a bourbon cask influence, emphasizing spice when neat, yet mellowed with a drop of water. Appreciated for its classic Foursquare character, this bottling offers depth and complexity, even if slightly sharp when undiluted. It remains a noteworthy choice among aficionados seeking authentic Barbadian expressions.

Yesterday's tasting went a bit overboard so I thin I'll only add the first 6 because we had more than one too many :-) I liked this one with a drop of water which released some additional flavours and reduced the spiciness a bit. Typical Foursquare.
Too overwhelmingly marked by the bourbon barrel
Nice Foursquare bottling. Overall a little harsh - (very) few drops of water greatly enhance the rum and emphasis some of the more spicy notes, adding complexity.
With a drop of water, it has no fault, as Kevin Sorensen writes.
