    How does this rum taste?

    The "Barbados" rum by The Colours of Rum is distilled at the renowned Foursquare distillery in Barbados. Distilled in 2002 from molasses using a pot still, it boasts a distinctive aroma of honeycomb, frankincense, and subtle tar notes. Aged for an impressive 20 years, this rum presents unique flavors such as frankincense, honey, and candied fruits. With an ABV of 49%, it offers a bold experience, appreciated for its complexity, though some find its whisky-like character unusual for a Foursquare rum. User reviews highlight its herbal and slightly smoky finish, making it a noteworthy choice for adventurous palates eager to explore unique rum profiles.

    Salon du Rhum 2024

    Salon Du Rhum 2024 Interesting rum, something unique. Just not my kind of taste.

    Just like the Royal cane 2002, I would definitely not classify it blind as Foursquare but as WIRD Rockley style. Nice notes of honeycomb, incense and honey, as well as herbs like chamomile and black tea. Overall somewhat biting on the finish.

    CoR tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A rather weak agricultural nose with dry herbs, beeswax, spiciness, pepper and dirty notes. The wood is very well integrated, but the spiciness/pepperiness bothers me a little. The palate is acqueous, diluted and the aromas struggle to express themselves. The wood and beeswax dominate the fresh tropical fruit, which, together with the vegetal, gives this wine quite a bit of freshness. The finish is short, although the wood lingers on the palate for a long time. A weak rum, especially on the first palate.
