    How does this rum taste?

    The Barbados Single Cask Rum from Foursquare Distillery, bottled by Anam na h-Alba, stands as an exceptional limited release. Distilled in 2005 and aged for 13 years, this rum offers a robust 63.9% ABV. Enthusiasts praise its complex layers of dried fruit, cocoa, and vanilla aromas, which unfold with dark chocolate and woody notes on the palate. Despite its high potency, a splash of water reveals additional coconut and toffee undertones. With only 275 bottles, this richly flavored rum appeals to seasoned drinkers seeking intensity, though it may challenge novices.

    In der Nase kommen typische Barbados-Assoziationen zum Vorschein. Viel Kokosnuss und Papaya, aber auch eine alkoholische Schärfe. Am Gaumen intensiv und kräftig. Mit ein paar Tropfen Wasser öffnet sich der Rum. Dann kommen Vanille-Noten mit Orangenschalen und Tabak. Wer auf Ecken und Kanten steht kommt hier auf den Geschmack.

    Last FS for today. Typical Barbados profile but with a oomph. Needs some water to tame but then a nice coconut & roasted cookie dough profile develops. A bit rough around the edges and needs time. //update: really intense experience, without water not my kind of rum

    Für mich ein typischer Barbados-Vertreter: tropisch-fruchtig, fast floral mit Vanille, Toffee, Tabak und etwas Holz… Nase: viel Kokos mit Papaya und mehliger Banane unterlegt mit einer feinen Vanille-Tabak-Rauch-Note. Süße von gebranntem Zucker und Sahne-Toffee und trockenes vom Holzfass. Alles rund und annehmen. Gaumen: der Alkoholgehalt treibt ordentlich, macht ihn intensiv und kräftig, leicht ölig. Bekommt dadurch auch eine schokoladige Textur mit Vanille. Der Tabak kommt wieder leicht durch. Die Frucht geht dahinter, ist aber mit Aprikose und Papaya auszumachen. Eigentlich ok, die hohen % machen ihn interessant und nicht Einsteigerfreundlich. Wie eingangs erwähnt, Barbados ohne große Überraschungen.

    Bin kein Foursquare Experte oder Fan und hab mir ein Sample Konvolut bestellt um mich hier etwas durchzutasten … hier habe ich eine doch recht alkoholische Nase, aber dafür einen intensiven Gaumen mit gerösteter Kokosnuss, Kakao, Vanille, Toffee und auch ein paar Trockenfrüchten sowie einer natürlichen Süße. Schmeckt eigentlich ganz gut.
