Aroma visualization from community tastings
Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro Foursquare Barbados 2006
Anyone who already likes the classic Foursquare profile will feel at home here: dried fruit, milky caramel, vanilla and a bit of roasted wood, with less coconut than usual. Several tasters call it round and balanced, but a touch too alcoholic for a cask-strength 16-year-old. A few hoped a 2006 vintage would surprise them more; instead it sits comfortably among the many good FSQ bottlings without pulling ahead.

How does Milano Rum Festival & Barmetro Foursquare Barbados 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Round, sweet Foursquare with a slight alcohol bite Most agree it's a nice, well-rounded Foursquare with caramel, dried fruit and wood, but the alcohol isn't fully tucked in and it's less complex than the vintage suggests.

Edit: nochmal gegen andere probiert, Bewertung unverändert Ein gefälliger Foursquare, aber von einem 2006er Jahrgang hätte ich ein bißchen mehr erwartet. Kann aber m.E. gut bei den ganzen ECS Abfüllungen mithalten, sticht diese aber leider nicht aus. Werde ihn mal gegen verschiedene ECS antreten lassen. Alkohol aber gut eingebunden.

Finally able to sit down after some time with education, exam, festivals etc. This is a very nice foursquare, well rounded in the nose with hints of fruits, caramel and some wood. In the notes I got tropical and dried fruits, chocolate and woody aftertones
Review by Jarek
Not a bad Foursquare, more on the sweet and toasty side. Less coconut than usual.
Review by Vincent D
Un profil Foursquare sans grande surprise : coco bien présente, fruits secs. Plus boisé au nez qu'en bouche ou le rhum se révèle plutôt doux. Un alcool bien intégré. Manque de longueur en bouche. Mais ça reste très agréable !
Review by Alex1981
Pleasing FS with a nice balance. Not overly complex, but has everything you associate with FS. Unfortunately slightly bitter/peppery on the finish.
Review by Lot-NAS
Good Foursquare, comparable with a Doorly‘s 14. Round and balanced but not overly complex and a little bit too alcoholic.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good Foursquare! Must be compared with others soon...
Review by Righrum
At first sip, was pretty unimpressive. But it was just bottled so maybe was too soon. I sampled it and tried again later, way better. Typical foursquare indeed, but strong on the sweet side, honey and caramel are hiding the dried fruits. Almost no coconut. A nice rum, but not my favourite foursquare
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Delicious 2006 foursquare but overall I was hoping for a bit more from this bottling... There are better 2006s. The alcohol could also be much better integrated and overall just a bit unspectacular and not very complex.
Review by Thunderbird
A good Foursquare that can seamlessly blend in with the many without standing out
Review by Serge
It didn't really convince me. Not very creamy and the flavor profile was also somewhat faceless. Possibly just because I was on the go and only tasted it quickly on the terrace at Zabo. But my first impression didn't really grab me.
Review by JFehr
Bisschen flach und Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein
