CoR Foursquare Barbados Ed. 8 1998
Most tasters land in the same place: this is unmistakably Foursquare, well-made but not full of surprises. Expect roasted coconut, dark chocolate, virgin oak and a familiar nail-polish glue note, with the 22 years smoothing the edges. A few rank it among their top recent Foursquares; others find it a touch less complex than its 1998 siblings. The 58.8% is mostly well integrated.
- Roasted coconut
- Chocolate and oak

Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Not a surprising profile. Very very FS. But a good one. Very coconutty. Roasted coconut. Dryish. Glue. Butterscotch. Virgin oak. The age tamed the flavours a bit. Lovely.
Review by Jakob
Compared to the other 1998 in the CoR series, the complexity is lacking here - the herbal notes are just as weakly represented as are the heavy vanilla and toffee sweetness. Solid in the best sense, slight plus points for the recognizable barrel influence.
Review by Mirco
Klassischer Foursquare, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol not so well integrated.
