Foursquare ECS XXI 2010
Highly praised cask‑strength Foursquare: rich coconut, vanilla and caramel over elegant oak. Powerful yet dangerously easy to sip, with well-integrated alcohol and reliable, consistent quality across bottles.
Much milder than the direct predecessor from 2009. Thanks to the very pronounced sweetness pleasantly uncomplicated to drink, significantly less spiciness than other bottlings of the Foursquare distillery. The profile holds few surprises, but quality definitely cannot be denied. Could turn out to be a real PLV hit - if the issue price should remain with us a little longer.Read more

How does Foursquare ECS XXI 2010 taste?
Bold coconut-vanilla Foursquare classic
If you enjoy Foursquare ECS 2008/2009 or other dry, bourbon‑leaning rums, this keeps that classic profile but adds extra coconut sweetness and punchy 60% intensity.
Those sensitive to high ABV or looking for sugary, ultra-soft sippers; drinkers who dislike prominent oak or coconut notes.

Auto-translatedOverall a rather soft rum, despite the 60%, which can’t disappoint anyone that likes Barbados rum. We were some friends teaming up at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm to celebrate Foursquare Appreciation Day. We started up with tasting of the four different ones seen at the added photo under lead of our friend the Swedish importer Lars Renbjer. The third out was the 2010 (ECS XXI), a Single Blended Rum at cask strength (60%) consisting of pot still as well as column still rums aged in ex-Bourbon American oak casks.

Edit Edit: had it in the glass again today as a mixer for me easy ColaMixer, but wife says BountyCola, great comment. Too often spoiled with Caronis and Demerara. It's her own fault she doesn't like it anymore 😅 Thanks to Chris2302 for getting it cheap at the last fair for 83€ better than the Doorly's Edit: 10.05.24 Tasted it again today against the ECS 2011. Therefore corrected downwards because I like the 2011 with its creaminess better. Another solid Foursquare and at a normal price, not like the ESC at utopian prices. Also recommended as a mixer for CubaLibre. Very drinkable and now also available at reasonably moderate prices.
Auto-translatedAnother high quality bottling out of the „vintage“ ECS range at a very good price point. Delivers the classic Foursquate notes at a high ABV (ie high intensity), providing a nice sipping experience. Side-by-side with the 2011 ECS, this one has more glue-y notes on the nose alongside the classic FS profile. Similar in the palate: more punch versus the 2011, ie a bit less balance and a little more demanding.
