TCRL Foursquare Barbados 2005
One taster called it a "powerful and spicy Foursquare," and that fits: fresh glue on the nose that fades on the palate, then an unexpected full sweetness that settles into pepper, cinnamon and warm oak. Pineapple, toffee and a bit of coconut round it out. A few note it leans a touch column-forward and one-dimensional next to other Foursquare bottlings, but most enjoy the long, spicy finish.
The community says- Long spicy finish
- Well-integrated 55%
- But: Can read one-dimensional

Review by Felix Reiber
Ein sehr kraftvoller und würziger Foursquare aus Barbados. In der Nase kommt eine Frische, klebstoffähnliche und würzige Note zum Vorschein. Am Gaumen wird man schnell von einer unerwarteten, vollen Süße überrascht, welche dann in Würzigkeit und einer angenehmen Wärme abklingt. Die Gumminote aus der Nase verschwindet fast vollständig. Die tropische Fruchtigkeit unterstreicht diese Aromen gut. Der Abgang ist lang, würzig und Anklänge von Papaya halten sich bis zum Schluss. Ein äußerst preiswerter Rum.

Verglichen mit den anderen Foursquare ECS Abfüllungen, kann er meines Erachtens nicht mit halten. Denoch finde ich ihn sehr gut, für einen Foursquare, da für ihn keine utopischen Preise aufgerufen werden.

08.12.2018 Had a wonderful meet up with old and new friends at this wonderful hotel. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: fresh, light wood, fruity, pineapple, light coconut, caramel. Palate: round, wood, spice, medium dry, fruity, caramel, banana. Finish: medium long, medium dry, wood, light caramel, chocolate. The guy bringing this bottle didn't want to tell us where he got it from.
Review by Johannes
Guter Foursquare, der vielleicht etwas eindimensional und nach zu viel Column schmeckt.
Review by Fuwi
Die 55,2% sind unglaublich gut eingebunden, angenehm florale Nase, ich meine Jasmin zu entdecken. Aber ich sitze auch gerade auf der Terrasse und es blüht einiges. Toller Rum, der lange und angenehm nachhallt
