The Barbados Museum Foursquare Garrison Grog Fine Barbados Rum
Coconut and vanilla up front, then caramel and toffee doing most of the work, with a little roasted oak behind — textbook Foursquare, just at a milder volume. Several members like it plenty but wish it hit harder; a few call it a touch thin and wanting more punch for 14 years and 48%. Round, easy, and a fine one to hand a beginner.

Erst einmal Danke @bananaJoe, dass Du diesen Rum geteilt hast. Erst ist ein klassischer Foursquare für schöne Sommerabende. Vom ABV her leicht zu trinken mit viel Kokosnuss und Vanille-Süße. Das passt 👍🏻

On the nose: Woody, coconut, vanilla and caramel notes. Round. Quite the typical Foursquare notes, but without the intensity. Taste: Vanilla, coconut and caramel. Caramel/toffee being the dominant note. Then you get little bit of woody notes and some roasted notes to the palate. Quite mild and easy to drink. Finish: Warm. Caramel and toffee. Vanilla. Spices and woody notes. Nice to be able to taste rum available exclusively in Barbados Museum. Easy to drink and its good for the people who are at the beginning of their rum journey.

Empty glass Vanilla, light banana, light caramel, faint herbs.
Review by Skyfly
A classic FSQ without much fuss. As Daniel already mentioned, I also find it a bit lacking in punch on the palate and finish. Still, a solid example that you can easily serve to beginners.
Review by Banana Joe
Was soll ich sagen, wo Foursquare draufsteht ist auch Foursquare dein. In der Nase Foursquare, am Gaumen Foursquare. Rundum solide, hätte aber etwas mehr Umdrehungen haben können. Trotzdem schön diese Exclusiv Abfüllung für The Barbados Museum mal im Glas gehabt zu haben.
Review by zabo
Testing three different Foursquare again. RX22434, RX18093, and RX23029. Overall three solid releases with the usual Foursquare DNA. The Barbados Museum is a bit too thin for me. I'd give second place to the one from Precious Liquors and the winner in this flight would be the one from Bedford Park.
Review by Nils123
Not particularly complex, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s easy to drink and tasty. The coconut note is a must for Foursquare. The alcohol strength is well chosen in terms of volume. Only the finish is relatively simple.
Review by Schnubbii
Ein schöner Foursquare, ziemlich rund, schmeckt wie ein verdünnter Rumclub Ed. 61. Es fehlt etwas der Punch, dennoch ein Paradebeispiel für das Foursquare-Aromenprofil. Lecker.
Review by Johannes
Typical Foursquare profile. Somehow seems younger than it is. Maybe it's also due to the relatively high proportion of column still in the flavor.
