CoR Foursquare Barbados No. 18 2010
"Not near Foursquare's own bottlings," as one taster put it — and that's the honest read here. Expect bourbon, vanilla, toffee and burnt sugar on a light body, with the 61% alcohol sitting more forward than integrated. Several found it close to the No. 17 and a bit flat for the distillery. Fans of ex-bourbon Barbados profiles will get what they want; others may find it plain.
The community says- Classic Foursquare bourbon notes
- Cask strength intensity
- Hot, alcohol-forward

Hot, bourbon-vanilla Foursquare, a touch plain Divides Foursquare fans: some enjoy the easy bourbon-vanilla profile, but many call it plain, alcoholic and barely different from No. 17, weaker than Foursquare's regular bottlings.

Review by Mateusz
Not at all as similar to Foursquare 2009 as I thought, but very good one!
Review by Christoph
Blind hätte ich gesagt weniger Prozent als die Ed. 17 in der Nase. Ansonsten sehr ähnliches Profil. Im Abgang kräftiger.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.
Review by Han
Ist das eigentlich ein Schwesterfass von der No 17? Riecht sehr ähnlich, wen wenig weniger käsig. Geschmack sehr süß und zunächst scharf alkoholisch. Auch in Abgang bleibt eine brennende süße und verbindet sich mit Pappkarton.
Review by DomM
Nose goes to orange (No 18) versus blue (No 17). Palate the other way round. Both significantly below the regular 2010 ECS, however.
Review by Stefan Persson
Got this sample for free from RumX. It’s a mix of column and pot still distilled rum that’s aged for 11 years, first for 5 years tropical and then 6 years continental. It has spent 5 years in an ex-bourbon barrel and 5 years in an ex-whisky barrel. Finally it was bottled in 259 bottles at 61,1%. Overall an OK rum, but with too strong alcoholic taste, that’s not near Foursquare’s own bottlings.
Review by RumTaTa
The nose is very bourbon-heavy, small wonder - the rum matured 5 years in a bourbon barrel. From the other 5 years in the whiskey barrel is not much to feel - was obviously not an Islay whiskey.On the palate very similar. A certain intensity is there due to the approx. 61% alcohol but unfortunately not many flavors are transported besides bourbon, vanilla and roasted notes.Overall ok but for Foursquare pale, alcoholic and even less representative than No 17 (probably because of the storage in the whiskey barrel, which rarely suits me).Practically without significant difference to Barbados No. 17.One more note on the storage in the whiskey barrel: What prevents the bottler to disclose in what kind of barrel the rum was stored for the last 5 years? Please complete transparency!

Sehr alkoholisch, bisschen Holz, leichte Vanille.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.02.2023 A nice CoR tasting with a good friend. Colour Light in colour. Nose Light wood, faint roasted, alcoholic, fruits, spice, faint chocolate, faint floral. Palate Warm, light wood, alcoholic, fruits, faint citrus, light pineapple, spice, light chocolate, light bourbon. Finish Medium to long, light wood, light roasted, spice, warm, spice, faint chocolate, fruits. The ABV is not that well integrated even when rested for a good while.
Review by Serge
Nach dem Plenipotenzario aus dem Adventskalender dachte ich mir noch: Ha, Foursquare kann ja doch gut schmecken. Der hier bestärkt mich wieder in meinen alten Vorurteilen und bietet wieder das gewohnt langweilige Profil mit Kokos, Bourbon, Vanille und Alkohol. Da ist mir ein (guter) Bourbon lieber. Für FS-Liebhaber sicher interessant aber für mich eher nichtssagend. Schneidet für mich minimal besser ab als der parallel verkostete No 17
