Foursquare ECS XXII Touchstone 2008
Highly praised dry, woody Foursquare with well‑integrated 61% ABV, orange-chocolate notes and cognac-driven depth. Considered a top-tier yet relatively austere ECS for focused sipping.
Foursquare and bourbon fans who enjoy dry, oak-forward rums with orange, cocoa and leather, and who are comfortable sipping intense 61% ABV spirits neat or with a few drops of water.

Dry, woody Foursquare with cognac twist

Overall a great Foursquare ECS rum. Mr Richard Seale have done it again. I tasted it the Swedish importer’s, Lars Renbjer’s, stand at the Stockholm Beer & Spirits Fair 2023. Touchstone is a molasses based double-aged pot- and column blended rum aged in ex-Bourbon and ex-Cognac casks for 14 years. It consists of two components. The first component, a 2008 ex-bourbon aged distillate which was filled in ten former Cognac Camus casks in 2020, then 12yo, to mature for almost 3 years more. The second component was aged for 5 years in ex-Bourbon casks and 9 more years in ex-Cognac casks.
Round thing but no over highlight FS. It has something of dark chocolate with orange zest and a little black pepper. I think the cognac barrel comes out more harmoniously here than in the Dominus in comparison.
