La Maison Du Whisky Foursquare Rum Barbados (Flag Series) 2006
"Typical Foursquare profile" is how several tasters sum it up — coconut, milk chocolate, vanilla and caramel on the nose, rounder and lighter-fruited than most. At 60.3% the palate turns spicy and woody, and a few found it sharp, dry, even a touch artificial on the finish. Most enjoyed it; the recurring gripe is it's hard to tell apart from a standard Foursquare.
The community says- Coconut and chocolate nose
- Rounded, opulent body
- But: Sharp at 60%

How does La Maison Du Whisky Foursquare Rum Barbados (Flag Series) 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Classic coconut-chocolate Foursquare at cask strength Well-liked Barbados sipper with the classic coconut-chocolate-vanilla profile. Most rate it highly, though a few call the high-proof finish sharp and dry, and hard to distinguish from cheaper Foursquares.

Review by zabo
Als CubaLibre sehr lecker, aber leider ist der Preis ein wenig zu hoch angesetzt. Edit: Zum großen Crosstasting der Velier Abfüllungen haben sich noch der Swell und der Barbados 2006 Flag Series mit dazu geschmuggelt. Leider war es bis jetzt noch nicht möglich ein Sample vom 70th. zu bekommen. Im allgemeinen ist zu sagen dass es im Blindflug keine großen Unterschiede an der Nase gab. Beim Geschmack selber sind jedoch Unterschiede erkennbar. Nach meiner Meinung fallen aber drei deutlich aus der Reihe und bilden mit Abstand das Schlusslicht dieser war es aber nicht. Erster Eindruck 8,7 Auführliche Verkostung folgt Edit: sehr toller Vertreter von Foursquare. Ein Crosstasting, natürlich blind, werde ich demnächst mit den Abfüllungen von Velier noch machen. Aber ich wage die Prognose, dass er sich mehr als gut gegen diese schlagen kann.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A Foursquare distilled entirely in pot stills, which is more aromatic than it appears. The nose is full of tropical fruit and citrus, sweet spices and caramelized aromas. A round, easy-drinking profile. The attack on the palate is very similar to the nose: coconut, dried fruit, citrus, vanilla, nutmeg, molten woody chocolate, hazelnut, caramel and toffee give an opulent, generous rum. Despite all its obvious qualities, it remains difficult to distinguish from a more conventional Foursquare. The alcohol is well integrated. The finish is of decent length, with fruity, chocolate, pastry, woody and spicy fragrances. Relatively smooth and warm, even silky. The bottled Foursquare is of good quality, but its premium positioning is too high by today's bottling standards.
Review by DomM
Velier FS (+ a fee spected other contenders) blind cross tasting: Honestly, the results here were very close. The Belier bottlings display a very high quality thourgout the range. Triptych and Pleni came out on top for me closely followed by Destino. I was somewhat surprised, that Sassafras and 2006 came out rather at the bottom, while I enjoyed both very much on their own. Raconteur also quite low in the ranking with Principia clearly at the bottom.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Insgesamt für mich eher enttäuschend. Die Nase verspricht noch einen schönen Vertreter des 2006er Jahrgangs mit viel gebackener Orange, Kokos und Piment.. Geschmacklich aber ziemlich scharfkantig und sehr trocken, fast schon bitter, verbrannt und überholzt. Die sonst intensiveren Bananen und Kokosnoten rücken hier eher in den Hintergrund. Schade!
Review by mto75
Of the 16 years of maturation, the master has spent 14 in tropical ex-bourbon casks...so very promising! The nose is full of coconut, butterscotch, cream pudding, oak barrel, slightly tart notes in the background (somewhere between hops and grapefruit). Allspice on the palate, toasted barrel, tannins, the high ABV comes across as a little sharp
Review by Serge
Actually quite tasty Foursquare and for me on a good to high ECS level. Classic Foursquare nose with the usual aromas (in quite high intensity) as well as good melting and integration. On the other hand, not cheap either.
Review by Manuel
Sehr interessanter und wohlschmeckender Foursquare. Sehr intensiver Geruch nach Vanille, Karamell, Holz. Langer Abgang mit leicht süßlicher Note. Alkohol aber leicht scharfkantig aber noch im Rahmen.
Review by Johannes
The nose is surprisingly good with tropical notes. Unfortunately, the palate can't quite keep up. Already a certain depth, but a little too alcoholic, a little soapy.
Review by Jakob
Delicious, round Barbados rum with a classic Foursquare profile. Not a revolution, but it has everything that Foursquare promises.
Review by Double Barrel
Tasted at Whisky Live, a very very good Foursquare above the rest
