“Beginning somewhat alcoholic nose... Sherry comes through well makes it more fruity and slightly sweeter in comparison ... After a bit of time in the glass, the spiciness fades a bit and it seems more harmonious ... The sherry cask has done a good job and brings mMn the typical Foursquare character something forward and makes it different (which is very welcome in view of the countless bottlings) prices beyond the 100€ I see as excessive.”

“Although this rum has been in a sherry cask for a very long time, the finish is rather subtle. It is very interesting that other Barbados rums with a shorter sherry finish have taken on significantly more sherry. Good Barbados rum in the classic style. Lots of chocolate, rather spicy, subtle caramel with just the right amount of fruit. The spicy heat dominates somewhat in the mouth, but otherwise round enough.”

“At the time of release the price was very good for the quality you actually get. The nose is fruity with oak and vanilla trailed by chocolate. If you don't rest it then the nose will be alcoholic and you'll miss the subtle notes. The palate is complex and well balanced with oak and fruits and I like the peppery spicyness which is followed by vanilla and chocolate as well as a light note of espresso. Leave the empty glass and whiff it after a while to enjoy fruity and chocolate notes. The finish is long and warm with oak, dried fruit and a hint of chocolate.”

“A pleasing typical Foursquare. Needs a bit in the glass to develop. I'm not usually one to add a few drops of water, but I would recommend it for this one. Again, a great CubaLibre mixer. But I would still prefer it neat.”

“reminds me spontaneously of the gentleman's cake from the bakery Voigt around the corner. Chocolate, caramel, and also fruity (raisin, prune) on the nose. On the palate also a lot of 'sweet stuff' without actually being too sweet. A good representative of the ECS, on the level of the Shibbo or Redoutable and clearly above the Indelible.”

“A very tasty Foursquare, which starts with a hint of solvent in the attack, then reveals itself with a very greedy pastry profile, carried by chocolate, vanilla, caramel, toffee, praline, burnt sugar, toasted notes and dried fruits. The greedy profile is found in the mouth, creamy and oily as desired with spices, chocolate, cookie and caramel in particular. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long, suave and expressive on spices, chocolate, caramel, with a salty touch, tobacco and mocha. A rum that has depth, greed, complexity and that will not remain available for long.”

“Overall a fantastic rum described in three words, sovereign dry and oaky. 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 fourth out was the Sovereignty (ECS XIX) which was released on November 2021 celebrating Barbados Independence Day (November 30th), which makes the name of it understandable. It’s a molasses based blend of pot and column still rums aged for a total of 14 years with 3 years in ex-Bourbon and 11 years in former sherry casks. Bottled at ABV 62%. Picture: The four Foursquares included at the tasting at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm.”

“It’s another cracker from Foursquare. Really very well balanced and drinks well below its ABV. Nice blend of vanilla, oak, and spice on the mouth with a medium to long finish. It’s less exciting than Redoutable to my pallate but somewhat more approachable. The nose is molasses, ok and chocolate, which reflects the mouth and taste well. Good level of oak and vanilla into the finish, very good and may be a 85 on further tasting.”

“A rather dry Foursquare, which I quite like, tart spicy notes, coffee, barrel - here the age plays up nicely, a touch of dark fruit would have catapulted the bottling possibly a little higher - but is also so an absolutely harmonious addition to the ECS series.”

“One of the best ECS so far. Sherry cask influence is pretty noticeable but integrated. Coconut and caramel, but also nail polish and red fruit. Drink side, it is mainly the same, just a bit more woody”
