- Excerpt: I liked this, but felt it suffered a bit in the palate. It felt a bit thin, and there was some mild heat that didnt really belong given the low proof. That said, I enjoyed this, but it definitely left a lot of potential on the table.

- Excerpt: Although this is a very agreeable and easy rum to drink I also feel it offers more than enough complexity and depth of flavour. I would have a real issue with any genuine rum fan who didn’t enjoy this rum.

Intro:
This is a Barbados region distilled rum that is distilled and bottled by Foursquare. It is finished for some period of time in zinfandel wine casks and bottled at 43% ABV.
-
Nose:
Honey, molasses, stewed fruits, brown sugar and white grape juice. Sweet, dessert-y and lightly fruity.
-
Taste:
Think mouthfeel but sweet. Lots of fruits here, especially pears, melon and some berries. Tobacco, confectioners sugar and some mild heat rounds out the experience.
-
Finish:
Short, melon forward and loaded with honey, pepper and faint tobacco.
-
Overall:
I liked this, but felt it suffered a bit in the palate. It felt a bit thin, and there was some mild heat that didnt really belong given the low proof. That said, I enjoyed this, but it definitely left a lot of potential on the table.
