The Colours of Rum Foursquare 2005 Barbados is a high-quality rum hailing from the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. This exquisite spirit has undergone a meticulous 15-year aging process that started in its tropical homeland and concluded under the continental climate of Europe. The rum was stored in an American bourbon cask during its European aging, which imbued it with complex and rich flavors. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 61.1%, this rum embodies the power and elegance typical of The Colours of Rum brand. This exceptional rum is a part of a unique product line that showcases bottles adorned in ultramarine blue or gold yellow, reflecting the vibrant colors of the Barbados flag. The visually striking, dark, nostalgic-style bottle not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also pays homage to the Caribbean island's centuries-old rum tradition. In terms of aroma and flavor, The Colours of Rum Foursquare 2005 Barbados stands out with its high age and significant alcohol content, resulting in an assertive and complex character. With a limited release of just 272 bottles, this single cask rum delivers a distinctive sensory experience characterized by fruity and spicy notes, perfectly balanced to avoid being overly sweet or dry. To fully appreciate its rich flavors, it is recommended to enjoy this high-proof rum with a splash of water.
There are no significant differences between the 2005 and 2007 editions. Both are high-quality Foursquare rums, though not considered elite among top-tier rums.
Overall: The Colours of Rum 2005 Barbados 15yo offers a complex and opulent rum experience, featuring rich tropical fruit, spicy warmth, and sweet notes balanced by subtle minerality.
While this rum is considered a good Foursquare product, it does not reach the pinnacle of excellence. It is comparable to the 2007 edition, offering a solid rum experience without being among the very best.
