    How does this rum taste?

    The Cane Island Barbados Rum, produced at the esteemed Foursquare distillery, is an 8-year-old spirit distilled from molasses using pot and column stills. With its distinct aroma of nail polish, vanilla, and apricot, this rum offers a complex sensory experience. The taste presents an intriguing mix of varnish, vanilla, and woody notes, with a profile described by users as bittersweet and slightly herbal. While some reviews highlight its commendable value for price and its use as a mixing ingredient, others find its bitter and unbalanced taste less appealing. Bottled at 43% ABV, this rum is suggested for those exploring mid-range molasses-based rums with interesting character.

    A good little foursquare reduced doorlys style. Nothing transcendent, but for the price (36 euros) it's a nice alternative to some much sweeter "rons".

    Good value for money.

    ... 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.

    Söt och obalanserad, vass i smaken och lite frukt men den är drickbar. Jag misstänker att den i första hand är ämnad att användas som drinkingridiens.
