    How does this rum taste?

    Exceptional Cask Selection XVIII Indelible from Barbados offers an 11-year aging journey at 48% ABV. Distilled at Foursquare using pot and column stills, its nose reveals inviting vanilla, caramel, coconut, dried fruit, and spice. On the palate, our RumX community detects a blend of vanilla, wood, chocolate, caramel, and cinnamon with hints of wine cask influence. While some reviewers note a lighter profile and a shorter finish compared to other Foursquare expressions, the overall experience remains pleasantly approachable and true to its heritage. This rum is a great option for those curious about a subtly complex sipping experience.

    "Very nice sipping foursquare. The zinfandel red wine barrel brings nice notes of red fruits, cinnamon and tannins and harmonizes very well. Yummy! Could only have a tad more steam...But probably the best what was foursquare rums so far in zinfandel casks gefinished!I like surprisingly well! It does not always have to be barrel strength ..."

    "Overall a much lighter Foursquare than usual that could be a good start to explore their ECS series. 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 the Swedish importer Lars Renbjer. First out was the Touchstone which I have reviewed earlier and rated at 8,8. Next out was the Indelible (ECS XVIII) which is a blend of 11 year old molasses rums distilled in pot- & column stills and aged on site in ex-Bourbon and ex-Zinfandel Casks. The nose and palate is light, would even say weak for an Foursquare. Had to warm it up a little to recognize the aromas and tastes. Picture: The four Foursqures tasted this evening at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm."

    "Good, but Barbados rums are not really in my wheelhouse.Alcohol not well integrated for its 48 degrees. Hints of chocolate and lychee."

    "The low ABV makes this an easy drink, the profile does remind me a bit of a good spanish style Rum."
