The consensus: an interesting, easy-drinking Foursquare with clear dried fruit and wine influences, though some wish for a longer finish. One to try if you like subtle, slightly dry Madeira-finished rums.

    How does this rum taste?

    Bellamy‘s Reserve Barbados Madeira Cask Finish gets plenty of nods for its dried fruit, wine, and caramel notes, plus hints of coconut and wood. The nose leans dried fruit and caramel, while the taste works in sherry, plums, and a touch of salt. Finish is short to medium, not overly complex—Roman Lelek describes it as "not bad but frankly not awesome" and Matej calls it a "really nice and interesting sample." For those wary of sweet rums, Pavel Spacek highlights the "pleasant and in no way aggressive" flavors rich in coconut, vanilla, and chocolate.

    My first Bellamy..in short not bad but frankly not awesome…just good.. The color- honey - yellow to light brown. The nose - dried fruits, oak and wood. The taste- dry and salty, then peppery tones, and wine tones. I also noticed the alcoholic tone, but later it disappeared. At first it reminded me some cheap rum like pyrat or pampero..finish is short, not complicated.. To sum it up - interesting, but there are better rums outside, cheers and next one, please!

    I wanted to add a photo of this rum in a glass, but my friends came and the bottle fell extremely fast :) Very nice bottle + limited Slovak edition = I had to try it. Aroma - fruit, wood, caramel, wine Taste - cinnamon, wood, dried fruit, sour Finish - medium length, fruit, bitter My first Bellamy's, which did not disappoint me and I immediately ordered a tasting set to discover other rums from this brand.

    Salty, fruity and spicy. Some dried figs and apricot and nut butter. Not necessarily my favorite foursquare and could have a little more alcohol for my taste, but the Madeira finish of 3 months fits really well here and at 75€ a bottle in Slovakia you can't complain either.

    My first Bellamy’s and first sample from advent calendar. Aroma is sweet (caramel) and little alcoholic. I noticed wine/dry scent with sherry and cocoa hint. There was also some wood, raisin and dried fruit (plums in my opinion) with burn scent. Taste is pretty dry, I noticed wine/sherry with lot of dried fruit (plums). I noticed some oak and salt (interesting) with combination of milk chocolate. Finish is not long enough, I noticed some coconut, druid fruit, oak amd bitter. Really nice and interesting sample, I like that they used Forsquare rum for this one, but to be honest I would like to see better price for the whole bottle.
