Aroma visualization from community tastings
Nobilis Foursquare No. 23 Barbados FS 2006
Wood, leather and a dry burnt-sugar edge lead here, with light spice and a bit of mandarin peel and banana underneath. It's a classic Foursquare profile, but bottled at 65.4% the alcohol is the talking point: most tasters find the nose lovely and the palate a touch hot. Give it plenty of air, or a splash of water, and it opens up.
The community says- Wonderful nose
- Dry woody profile
- Hot, unintegrated ABV

The look inside the bottle
How does Nobilis Foursquare No. 23 Barbados FS 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Woody, dry Foursquare with hot, unruly ABV Well-liked but not a favorite. Great woody, leathery nose; the high ABV feels poorly integrated on the palate and pushes the flavors back for many. Rest it long or add water.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very nice Foursquare and I like the ABV which I think enhances the overall result. Nice and woody profile without being too dominant. Fruity and well balanced with light spices. The empty glass is wonderful after an hour. Remember to rest for a good while or the ABV will take over your senses.
Review by Jakob
Classic Foursquare with a lot of punch, the alcohol adds to the intensity but also closes off some of the flavors, which doesn't change noticeably even after just under an hour in the glass. In direct comparison, the slightly more reduced bottled Foursquares work better for me.
Review by Gregor
Nose: woody, spicy, tangerine peel, banana, some alcohol Palate: Banana, vanilla, light tangerine (as if they are still a little hard and do not peel well), woody finish, alcohol not so well integrated
Review by Mike H.
The nose is much more pleasant than the mouth. Badly integrated ABV make for a certain unpleasantness in the mouth.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Lots of alcohol, little Foursquare.
Review by Johannes
Phew, alcohol is very dominant. The taste is actually good!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid FS but no highlight. Alcohol could be much better integrated...
Review by Basti
Alcohol both on the nose and palate quite present, even after some time in the glass.
Review by Tschusikowsky
Classic Foursquare taste. However, slightly biting due to the alcohol, which is too concise. Accordingly, the flavors on the palate are pushed into the background. Letting it breathe helps, water makes it rounder and more pleasant.
Review by Jacques etdom
Un foursquare très Light en goût. Alcool trop présent, je n ai pas autant apprécié que je me l etais imaginé. Déçu.
