Aroma visualization from community tastings
1731 Fine & Rare Foursquare Barbados
Sip it neat and you get a mild, easy Foursquare: vanilla, caramel, a little honey and oak with a bourbon-ish nose. A few tasters catch orange, strawberry or chocolate. The recurring gripe is that 46% still drinks a touch thin and watery, so several people happily pour it into cola or an Old Fashioned instead. Reads gently sweet despite no added sugar.
The community says- Vanilla and caramel
- Easy to drink
- But: Thin body

How does 1731 Fine & Rare Foursquare Barbados taste?
Aggregated from 41 community reviews.
Mild, vanilla-forward Foursquare, a bit thin Well-liked as an easygoing, fairly-priced Bajan. Most enjoy the vanilla-and-oak profile; the split is over the body — some find it too light and watered-down for the strength.

Review by Leo Krüper
Nothing special, very light and alcoholic. Decent PLV
Review by Gregor
A nice price-performance ratio. A few percent more would do im good but still nice.
Review by Montana
Quite a sweet aroma, vanilla, some honey.The taste is also sweetish, slightly alcoholic, slightly bitter in the finish.

Würzig trotzdem mild
Review by RUMpelstilzchen
A good rum with a good price-performance ratio. Unsweetened. It smells well of spices and alcohol. Taste: fruity, round. Pleasant finish. I don't think it's been watered down too much. But of course not quite as strong, so suitable for beginners. Update: I still like it, unfortunately it runs out super quickly.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose mild fruit and apple with mild alcohol. Taste reveals a strong fruit and apple flavour with moderate spice. Finish is medium with continue fruit and spice fading away. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose mild sweetness and very mild fruit. Taste is smooth and enjoyable with mild fruit and sweetness. Finish is short with the taste just fading away.
Review by Kieron Wood
A good find Barbados goodness with the notes of a very young FS rum . Oak and chocolate present with a slight orange after taste which moves it higher in rating .
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This rum died because it was watered down far too much. In my opinion the ABV should have been far higher. Fruity and sweet with light wood and roasted notes. The empty glass is nice and has a smoky and light leather note.

není přidán žádný cukr ale na mne i tak poměrně sladké
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
solid Barbados rum, but also a bit thin, toasty and bitter in the finish. again disturbs a slightly alcoholic and watered down note.
