“Balanced taste, bittersweet with vanilla hints.”

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.
