CDI Foursquare Barbados 9 ans (Selection Par Fabian Willame) 2010

Bourbon drinkers wanting a light, no-drama Barbados will find their everyday pour here. Honey and vanilla up front, then young wood, popcorn and a nutty, faintly peppery palate. Trouble is, most tasters find it watered down — flavor thins out and the finish stays short at 43%. A couple of members caught unusual notes (chili, green pepper, herbs); most just call it a classic Foursquare profile, fine but familiar.

The community says
  • Easy, light sipper
  • Classic Barbados
  • But: Tastes watered down

How does CDI Foursquare Barbados 9 ans (Selection Par Fabian Willame) 2010 taste?

Summarized by AI from 12 community reviews.

Light, watery Foursquare — pleasant but forgettable Fine but nobody's excited — "meh, but fine" sums up the mood. The recurring gripe is a diluted, thin body that loses flavor; nothing here sets it apart.

Perfect for

bourbon drinkers wanting an easy Barbados daily

Round bottling, nice daily sipper but nothing special. Classic Foursquare profile. In my opinion, there are much better products on the market for the price. Definitely nothing you have to buy.

Palate Light, light wood, light roasted, caramel, pineapple, light polish, light chocolate. Finish Short to medium, wood, light roasted, light caramel, light mango, cinnamon. Extra note. Watered down too much.

6.5/10

Wow, it smells very sweet and intensely of peach and apricot, but way too artificial, perfumey. Honey and sugar syrup with plenty of vanilla. Unfortunately, this is not my thing at all. On the palate not sweet, rather a bit woody and spicy. Slightly bitter with a hint of orange peel. Fresh twigs, slightly nutty. A bit diluted, but still okay for only 43%. The finish keeps the green twigs. Weak Barbados.
