Foursquare Rum Artesanal Barbados Rum MBFS 2005
The surprise here is how much it drinks like bourbon — one taster called it a rum that tastes "geil nach Bourbon" (wildly bourbon-like), all vanilla, cherry and caramel-popcorn over roasted oak. There's a glue note wrapped in coconut too. At 60.2% it hits hard, though: several found the spice and smoky heat almost too much neat, and water didn't tame it.
The community says- Bourbon-like character
- Cherry and caramel
- But: Very hot

The look inside the bottle
How does Foursquare Rum Artesanal Barbados Rum MBFS 2005 taste?
Aggregated from 24 community reviews.
Bourbon-forward, high-proof Barbados single cask Most love this single-cask Foursquare for its bourbon-heavy, cherry-and-caramel profile. The catch: at 60.2% the spice and heat can bulldoze the finer notes, and water barely helps.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
wow... RA shows once again where the hammer hangs... rarely drunk a rum that tastes so much like bourbon. the alcohol content is extremely well integrated and an absolute pleasure. will buy 🙏🏻🔥🤤 Cherry, caramel popcorn and chocolate-covered coconut...awesome! for me one of the absolute best Foursquares on the market, I'm glad I got a second bottle. and at a price of 50€ RRP. brilliant!
Review by Tim
Sehr intensive Nase mit Vanille, viel Holz, Frucht (Kirsch, Kokosnuss, Rosine) und Karamell. Und dann trifft die volle Ladung Würze und rauchige Schärfe im Mund... zu stark für mich. Andere Noten sind natürlich noch auszumachen, gehen aber unter dem Gewürz unter. Mit etwas Wasser wird es nicht unbedingt besser. Das Whiskey-Finish ist sehr präsent. Die Nase gefällt mir deutlich besser.

This is a tasting set from 2022 where we had a lot of fun around the table. This Foursquare is pretty good and the price tag is really good compared to what you get. Fruity with nice spices and roasted wood. The palate is intense and oily and the empty glass is really nice and I can pick up a light smoky note and some coffee.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Wow, der hat mich echt überrascht. Tolle Klebstoff-Note, die von einem Kokosnuss-Aroma umgeben wird. Oft finde ich Barbados ja nicht so spannend, aber Foursquare und gerade diese Abfüllungen bestätigen die Ausnahme von der Regel!
Review by Jan Lu
Solider Foursquare. Man bekommt was man erwartet. Was für den Preis eine Menge ist, meines Erachtens. Kein Feuerwerk wie so manche ECS Abfüllung, trotzdem das klassische Geschmacksprofil vorhanden……..
Review by Thomas
Einfacher typischer Foursquare. Was zu erwarten war und schön ist. Leichte Süße, schöne Fruchtnoten, minimal Farbe. Etwas Caramel bei einer schönen Farbe. Daily Sipper mit 60.2 % Vol.
