    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy ECS releases like Isonomy or Sovereignty for their dry bourbon‑cask style, Covenant gives you that classic profile with extra age and wood intensity.

    Not really suitable for

    Newcomers, those sensitive to 58% ABV, or drinkers who dislike firm tannins and a drier, wood‑driven profile in their rum.

    Big honey explosion on the palate followed by some barrel influence.

    My favourite Foursquare rums are the ones aged in Ex-Bourbon casks, period. This 18 yr old rum does not disappoint, simply delicious. At 58% ABV it is so smooth. Another 10/10 from Richard Seale. I had 2 bottles of this and hesitated to open one, now I have to keep an eye out for FS Covenant.

    Almost has a little bit of a tropically matured Diamond on the nose. Glue, dried fruit, spices, coconut and a pleasant sweetness. I really like it. Lots of spices, wood and bitterness on the palate, which is also present in the finish. I'm looking forward to a direct comparison with the Isonomy.
