CDI Foursquare Barbados (Bottled for Germany) 1999
"Easy sipping" is the phrase that keeps coming up, and it fits: an 18-year Foursquare with a big wave of coconut, vanilla and milk chocolate, plus banana and a little dried fruit and oak. At 50% it's warm but never harsh, and despite the age it doesn't go too woody. A few tasters wished for a touch more complexity to push it over the top.
- Big coconut note
- Soft and warm
- Not over-oaked

Coconut-forward, easygoing aged Foursquare Most people enjoy this for its uncomplicated charm — heavy coconut, soft vanilla and chocolate over classic Barbados oak. The common note: lovely, but a bit too smooth to feel exciting.

Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Une Foursquare peut être un peu trop réduit mais d’une gourmandise incomparable. D’une facilité déconcertante.
Review by Daniel
Nase: Kokosnuss und Vanille dominieren vor leicht holzigen und würzigen Noten. Gaumen: Aromen der Nase bestätigen sich, zusätzlich noch Banane zu schmecken. Abgang: Es bleibt die Würze Fazit: Typisches Profil für Barbados. Aber eine Intensität von Kokosnuss, wie ich sie noch nicht bei einem Single Cask vorgefunden habe, gefällt. Easy sipping. Einzig der Preis schreckt ein wenig ab.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
definitiv einer der besseren richtig alten Four Squares die es gibt, könnte ein paar % mehr haben um an Komplexität die ihm etwas fehlt zu gewinnen ist aber dafür ein echt schöner unkomplizierter sipper, der trotz 18y nicht zu holzig ist. Richtig schöne Foursquare DNA aus Kokos, Banane und Milchschokolade. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
15.03.2019 A nice relaxing evening at home enjoying some samples while watching movies. Notes. Light to medium dark colour. Nose: light, fruity, dried fruit, lihmght coconut, marzipan. Palate: light, wood, roasted, coconut, warm, cherry, light chocolate. Finish: medium long, warm, fruits, wood, roasted, light chocolate, cherry.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Ein komplexer und wohl typischer Barbados-Rum, der mit vielen trockenen Aromen daherkommt. Trotz seines fortgeschrittenen Alters fehlt mir jedoch geschmacklich etwas, das mich kickt. Viele getrocknete Früchte, Fass und Leder allein reichen nicht, aber ich bin auch kein Fan von Barbados!
