How does this rum taste?
RumX members love its standout nose: coconut, vanilla and caramel with a roasted edge. On the palate, this 18‑year Foursquare shows ex‑bourbon character—oak, caramel and spice—delivering a smooth 58% and a long, warming finish. Often enjoyed as a sipper, it’s praised as balanced, though some note firm wood tannins and moderate complexity. With 90 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a popular, oak‑forward Barbados choice.

22.03.2025 Retasting at Whisky Watcher tasting. ---------------------- #4654 10.03.2024 Relaxing at bit at home while my wife is out with a friend. Nose Wood, light roasted, light coconut, dried fruit, faint glue, balanced. Palate Wood, roasted, spicy, medium dry, tannins, faint chocolate, dried fruit, light cherry. Finish Long and warm, wood, plum, spice, light chocolate. The empty glass has some light leather and caramel notes.
Today there are two Foursquare: 1. covenant: This one tastes like it looks. Lots of dark fruit, somewhat leathery and dry on the palate. The cask influence is very strong, almost too strong. You have to know what you're getting into, but if you like it, you won't be disappointed. The alcohol is well integrated. Delicious Foursquare that I could imagine really enjoying from time to time! 2nd Absolutio: Awesome piece! There are no surprises on the nose or palate in terms of aromas. Mouth-filling, starts silky and pleasantly oily towards the finish. Pleasantly (dry) woody and chocolaty-fruity, great balance. The finish is very long and offers an interplay between dried fruit wrapped in chocolate and wood. I particularly like rums with these long, great finishes and that's what makes this rum for me! Wonderful, now it's "Hunters must hunt" Many thanks to Schnubbii!
Beautiful Foursquare with a very broad aroma spectrum. Great basic sweetness, fresh fruit notes, subtle tobacco, caramel, chocolate. Great, oily viscosity on the palate. The alcohol is not overpowering either. All in all, for me this is a remarkable release in the ECS series, the advanced age works very well.
The long tropical maturation has really done it good. Beautiful milk chocolate, coconut, almost Belize-like. Now if only it were a pure pot...
