Aroma visualization from community tastings
CDI Foursquare Barbados 2011
Opinions here genuinely split. Fans call it balanced and tasty, but several tasters keep hitting the same wall: the alcohol isn't fully tucked in and a bitterness creeps into the finish. Expect a dark, roasty single cask — cocoa, roasted nuts, light wood, a bit of pineapple. Give it air; rushed neat at 57%, the heat buries the subtler notes.

Quite alright. The alcohol could be better integrated. I had hoped for more

18.06.2022 Running through some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, faint smoke, pineapple, light coconut, faint chocolate, spice. Palate Wood, light roasted, fruity, pineapple, light coconut, light chocolate, spice, faint vegetal. Finish Medium long, light wood, dried fruit, light citrus, faint chocolate, light orange. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while or the ABV will overshadow the more subtle flavours. ABV integration could have been better.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively average foursquare. Alcohol could be much better integrated and overall it is something very dark, roasty and slightly bitter. Unfortunately, does not really convince me.
Review by Dr.Django
One of the worse Foursquare. Typical Foursquare notes come through quite clearly. Unfortunately, these are unpleasantly accompanied by alcoholic sharpness and bitterness. The finish is quite short.
Review by ramzi
Very balanced raud distillate. Complex and very tasty. Wat can I say Another good work from “foursquare”
