Foursquare Private Cask Selection Elysium 12yr 60%

"The longer it is open and the more samples I give it, the better it tastes to me, which is why I have adjusted it upwards. For its shorter storage time than some other ECS, it still delivers a solid performance. Price to appearance relatively fair, if it wasn't for the duty and tax."

"Solid Foursquare with a pleasant sherry dryness on the palate. But not a smash hit. Tasted at Zabo's Garden Paradise"

"A sherry-aged Foursquare that is a little short on roundness. The nose is very nice, but in the mouth it is too dark, tart and dry and lacks fruit and caramel. Therefore, for me, a little below average compared to other ECS Foursquares."

"Amazingly good Foursquare! Must be compared with others soon..."

"Nose is classic FS with a bit additional red fruits and strawberry bubblegum. Very rich. Nice! On the palate it is very nice as you would expect. However, the combination of wood and sherry notes take this one a bit to much towards the dry side of things to make it to the top notch of FS bottlings."

"although already over 1 year on sale, there is the Elysium from the PCS series at TWE (exclusive) still for just under 87 GBP. Compared with some other ECS bottlings seems to me that is still a fair price ... because the nose and palate is really not bad. From the balance and 'elegance' perhaps not quite on the level of the recently tasted (and also stored much longer) Raconteur, but with the ECS representatives such as the Redoutable, Indelible, Shibboleth he can certainly keep up."

"Nez puissant de prime abord mais plus aéré avec le temps, virevoltant avec les épices et les notes toastées, carressant les nasaux d’un fruité doux et gourmand, mais tout aussi élégant avec un boisé vernis bien maîtrisé. Bouche chaude, dominée par les épices et les notes de chocolat, café, caramel cuit, amandes et noix de coco grillées. Le fruité est tourné vers le raisin sec, mais aussi la cerise, ce qui change un petit peu chez Foursquare. Ce serait le rhum parfait pour accompagner un dimanche hivernal sur le canapé avec le plaid en regardant la télé. Finale chaude, épicée, boisée, caramélisée, chocolatée et avec des fruits à coques. L’alcool pourrait être un peu mieux intégré, mais il s’agit d’un Foursquare chevronné et réconfortant."

"The nose is relatively flat and unspectacular at first and needs some time in the glass for the aromas to develop. Then the typical FS notes of coconut (roasted), caramel, dried fruit and wood. A classic Fourquare for me on the palate, nothing more and nothing less."

"The Whisky Exchange excluse rum from Foursquare. Some airing does it well before consuming. Very well integrated ABV% and I found some spice and dried fruits. The notes I got was spicy and some fruit profile of the ex-sherry cask"

"Very good foursquare. Beautiful nose, very tasty, power of a tropical aged rum, alcohol slightly astringent. Super PLV!"

"Nose is pleasant, dry fruits and varnish, with some honeycomb and wood. The mouth is a bit of an explosion and more in your face than many of the ECS releases. It brings sweet and sour cherry, some apple and cinnamon with wood and tar, layered on top of nougat and caramel. The finish is dry and maybe just a touch too dry to be excellent but one of the longest finishes I have had. Sherry expression, different to some of my favourites but an enjoyable and complex rum - after dinner type drinker for me"

"Dlouho jsem po tomto vzorku pokukoval a dostal jsem se kěmu až dnes a vůbec nelituji. Patří mezi velmi jemné Foursquare s čokoládovo kokosovo rozinkovou chutí. Tohle je plnění kterř bych chtél mít v baru. Chuť mléčné čokolády je s každým napitím výraznejší a výraznější. Tohle se opravdu povedlo."
