Anam na h-Alba Foursquare Barbados Single Cask Rum 2005
At nearly 64% this hits harder than most Foursquares — intense, oily, a bit rough around the edges neat. Give it a few drops of water and it settles into roasted coconut, cocoa and cream toffee, with orange peel and tobacco underneath. One taster caught a Jaffa Cakes vibe. Classic Barbados character, just with more muscle and no big surprises.
The community says- Roasted coconut
- Cocoa-toffee body
- But: Hot without water

Last FS for today. Typical Barbados profile but with a oomph. Needs some water to tame but then a nice coconut & roasted cookie dough profile develops. A bit rough around the edges and needs time. //update: really intense experience, without water not my kind of rum

In der Nase kommen typische Barbados-Assoziationen zum Vorschein. Viel Kokosnuss und Papaya, aber auch eine alkoholische Schärfe. Am Gaumen intensiv und kräftig. Mit ein paar Tropfen Wasser öffnet sich der Rum. Dann kommen Vanille-Noten mit Orangenschalen und Tabak. Wer auf Ecken und Kanten steht kommt hier auf den Geschmack.
Review by Frank
Für mich ein typischer Barbados-Vertreter: tropisch-fruchtig, fast floral mit Vanille, Toffee, Tabak und etwas Holz… Nase: viel Kokos mit Papaya und mehliger Banane unterlegt mit einer feinen Vanille-Tabak-Rauch-Note. Süße von gebranntem Zucker und Sahne-Toffee und trockenes vom Holzfass. Alles rund und annehmen. Gaumen: der Alkoholgehalt treibt ordentlich, macht ihn intensiv und kräftig, leicht ölig. Bekommt dadurch auch eine schokoladige Textur mit Vanille. Der Tabak kommt wieder leicht durch. Die Frucht geht dahinter, ist aber mit Aprikose und Papaya auszumachen. Eigentlich ok, die hohen % machen ihn interessant und nicht Einsteigerfreundlich. Wie eingangs erwähnt, Barbados ohne große Überraschungen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leckerer und absolut solider foursquare! Kann man echt nicht meckern! Schöne Toffee und Orangenschale Note mit Milchschokolade. Erinnert irgendwie an Jaffa cakes! Sehr ähnlich zum RA 2005 foursquare nur nicht ganz so ausgewogen und Harmonisch.
Review by Serge
Bin kein Foursquare Experte oder Fan und hab mir ein Sample Konvolut bestellt um mich hier etwas durchzutasten … hier habe ich eine doch recht alkoholische Nase, aber dafür einen intensiven Gaumen mit gerösteter Kokosnuss, Kakao, Vanille, Toffee und auch ein paar Trockenfrüchten sowie einer natürlichen Süße. Schmeckt eigentlich ganz gut.
Review by Boletus
Ein feiner und süffiger Rum, der mir von Beginn an gefällt. Durch die hohe Alkoholstärke schadet die Zugabe von Wasser sicher nicht. Dadurch wird ihm zwar etwas von seiner Wucht genommen, jedoch werden keine zusätzlichen Aromen herausgekitzelt. Im Abgang vielleicht ein bisschen unspektakulär, aber trotzdem eine runde und schmackhafte Sache.
