1731 Fine & Rare Foursquare Barbados

Most enjoy its easy, sweet-leaning vanilla-oak profile and fair price; critics find it thin, a bit hot and watered down. Consensus: decent, honest everyday Barbados, not truly “fine & rare”.

    A nice price-performance ratio. A few percent more would do im good but still nice.

    Nothing special, very light and alcoholic. Decent PLV

    Würzig trotzdem mild

    Quite a sweet aroma, vanilla, some honey.The taste is also sweetish, slightly alcoholic, slightly bitter in the finish.
