Toasted coconut and vanilla lead here, backed by butterscotch, milk chocolate and a little orange peel — one taster even said it's "almost like there is cream in it." It's a soft, rounded Barbados profile (several members peg it as Foursquare) that goes down easy. The sweetness is the sticking point: dosed at around 12 g/L, it tips toward cloying for some.
The community says- Toasted coconut
- Smooth and rounded

How does Rum Nation Barbados 2019 2011 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Soft, sweet coconut-vanilla Barbados sipper Well-liked as an easy, coconut-vanilla Barbados and a gentle first pour for tastings. The recurring gripe is the added sugar — several find it too sweet, with little edge or depth.

Retasting at Romdeluxe. Had a relaxing online tasting yesterday and it had a vide spread between low and high end rums. This is definitely a rum good for beginners.
Review by Timo Groeger
Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. The first rum of the day, a pretty nice Rum Nation Barbados. Has a nice fruity nose, coconut stands out. On the palate also fruit (coconut) and some sweetness.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
👃 spices, vanilla, cinnamon, toasted coconut, soft caramel, milk chocolate, dried fruits, apricots, citrus, raisins, burnt oak. 😋 Ah, here it is, the note of toasted coconut. Roasting of chocolate, soft vanilla, quite a bit of dried fruits, banana, candied citrus. A pretty indulgent buttery caramel. A dark side (still light) of burnt wood. It remains quite soft and simple. ⛳ Wood, caramel, chocolate, herbal, but it's mostly light smoke of wood, cigar, grass smoke, even a slightly peated whisky side that surprises me in this finish. 💡 I tasted a Foursquare ECS after the tasting evening, we're clearly not in the same world. This selection has the distillery markers but very light and thin. You have to look for them in the glass.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A light Barbados rum, whose nose opens with typical notes (caramel, vanilla, spices and fruits, especially coconut) that are not too exuberant. Very smooth on the palate, with notes of caramel, coconut, orange zest and mild spices. The finish, moderately long, offers earthier notes with tobacco and a smoky hint, all balanced by wood, caramel and chocolate. A sweet rum, made to introduce something different than the Hispanic profile without straying too far.
Review by Mentalo
Unfortunately way too sweet for me due to the dosage. No edges or corners at all. But for beginners a very easy-drinking rum. Vanilla, orange, coconut. Not my thing unfortunately, but maybe good with a dessert.
Review by Air-one
This Rum Nation Barbados 8 years is a relatively simple rum, but very pleasant. The nose is light, woody and fruity. On the palate, the light side also stands out, with fruity and sweet notes. The finish, medium to short, is fresh and woody.
Review by Gregor
Deliciously balanced. Unfortunately a bit too sweet, not intense enough for an 80 rating.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Very round rum. Not special on the nose, only after a while some fruit emerges. Sweet on the palate, goes down like butter. Caramelized fruits remain. Overall very pleasing, certainly a good beginner. Personally, I don't necessarily need it.
Review by kondgab
Low ABV Foursquare. Usual vanilla and coconut notes
Review by Djoul 🇧🇪
Fresh nose, not too aggressive Pleasant, round palate
Review by Zorman 🇩🇰
12 g sugar added. That is too much
Review by Jonas Kofod
Coconut, Milk chocolate and cream toffee. Almost like there is cream in it.
Review by Steffen Feddersen
Pleasant rum sweetness with woody notes and dark chocolate. One that doesn't make much of a fuss.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Rum Nation Barbados 8 Y – 40% A Barbados rum without mention of the distillery (but given the coconut profile, it strongly suggests Foursquare). Aged 8 years in a tropical climate, bottled by Rum Nation at 40% in 2019, so vintage 2011. You find vanilla, orange, and coconut. Unfortunately, it's way too sweet for me (12 g/L). Maybe suitable for beginners who want to explore something other than Rons without straying too far. But for me... straight to the spit bucket.
Review by Tupiaz
Fairly mild on the nose. Tropical fruits, spices and a little flora. A bit sharp alcohol too. Fruits and spice start followed by a cocoa-influenced cask finish. Definitely a nice glass. But without great depth and nuance.
Review by Aurélien Nicolas
Very pronounced vanilla... Good but becomes cloying
Review by Nikola Kučerová
Pleasant, not too sweet taste....
Review by Solidfunk
Tar and burnt tires, rotten bananas smell. Some oak. In the mouth a softer vibe of vanilla and coconut. Lots of personality here. Dark golden pour. Medium finish. Some bitterness. Dosed like many Rum Nation rums. Had a glass at Honi Honi in Edmonton.
Review by Ivo Höfner
Fine, unpretentious, very well-rounded in taste Barbados - definitely a nice entry-level for a tasting evening!
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Sweet and smooth but just too much for my taste.
