CDI Foursquare Barbados (Bottled for Germany) 1999
"So much coconut" is the line that keeps coming back, and it defines this single-cask Foursquare — one taster says an intensity of coconut he hadn't found in any other. Around it sit banana, vanilla and milk chocolate, dry and only lightly sweet, with 18 years of oak that stays surprisingly restrained. Easy sipping at 50%, textbook Barbados DNA.

The look inside the bottle
How does CDI Foursquare Barbados (Bottled for Germany) 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Coconut-heavy dry Foursquare, easy 18-year sipper Well-liked as an unfussy, coconut-forward Foursquare. The recurring quibble: a few wish it had more kick or complexity to match the age, but most find it very easy to sip.

Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
Une Foursquare peut être un peu trop réduit mais d’une gourmandise incomparable. D’une facilité déconcertante.
Review by Daniel
Nase: Kokosnuss und Vanille dominieren vor leicht holzigen und würzigen Noten. Gaumen: Aromen der Nase bestätigen sich, zusätzlich noch Banane zu schmecken. Abgang: Es bleibt die Würze Fazit: Typisches Profil für Barbados. Aber eine Intensität von Kokosnuss, wie ich sie noch nicht bei einem Single Cask vorgefunden habe, gefällt. Easy sipping. Einzig der Preis schreckt ein wenig ab.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
definitiv einer der besseren richtig alten Four Squares die es gibt, könnte ein paar % mehr haben um an Komplexität die ihm etwas fehlt zu gewinnen ist aber dafür ein echt schöner unkomplizierter sipper, der trotz 18y nicht zu holzig ist. Richtig schöne Foursquare DNA aus Kokos, Banane und Milchschokolade. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
15.03.2019 A nice relaxing evening at home enjoying some samples while watching movies. Notes. Light to medium dark colour. Nose: light, fruity, dried fruit, lihmght coconut, marzipan. Palate: light, wood, roasted, coconut, warm, cherry, light chocolate. Finish: medium long, warm, fruits, wood, roasted, light chocolate, cherry.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Ein komplexer und wohl typischer Barbados-Rum, der mit vielen trockenen Aromen daherkommt. Trotz seines fortgeschrittenen Alters fehlt mir jedoch geschmacklich etwas, das mich kickt. Viele getrocknete Früchte, Fass und Leder allein reichen nicht, aber ich bin auch kein Fan von Barbados!
