Albert Michler Distillery Foursquare Barbados 2001
Anyone who already likes Foursquare and wants an older, wood-forward version will feel at home here. It's a 2001 Barbados aged 19 years, and the distillery signature is unmistakable: lots of oak as the base, vanilla and caramel, cinnamon and nutmeg, with a hint of coconut and banana. One taster caught orange peel bitterness in a long finish. Dry and spice-driven, not sweet.
The community says- Vanilla and spice
- Long finish
- But: Very wood-forward

Aggregated from 18 community reviews.
Dry, wood-forward older Foursquare with vanilla and spice Well-liked across the board — a "wood forwards" older Foursquare full of vanilla, oak and baking spice. A couple of tasters found it heavier on wood than they'd like.

Review by rum_sk
Very nice and soft 👃 full of vanilla, lot of wood, hint of fruits such as banana or even coconut. 👅 is more prominent with wood/oak as a base with nuances of vanilla, pepper and a little bit of bitterness of an orange peel in a long finish. Very nice rum I like it quite a lot. Very different Barbados than what I am used to and honestly I was getting tired of Barbadian rum but I have not tasted SC Barbados rum yet so that is the reason I guess why I like this one so much. Also I can rarely distinguish any flavor in the finish but with this one it was really easy with sweet tones of vanilla and bitterness from orange peel.

Dobra vune, ale chut uz na me moc
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice rum and the same age as the oldest The Duchess. Lots of spices and kind of heavy on the vanilla without being dominant. There is no doubt what distillery made this rum and Michler kind of made a nice finish.
