How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this Foursquare’s balanced sherry influence and creamy, rounded palate. Expect coconut, caramel and vanilla with hints of coffee/dark chocolate, dried fruit and gentle oak. Reviewers often enjoy it neat (some add a splash of water) and praise the value. A popular pick with 56 community reviews, though a few note a shy nose at first and some peppery heat. Confident choice for fans of ECS character.

The nose is very restrained at first, but opens up with plenty of time in the glass. Then lots of spicy and woody aromas, but also a nice coffee/malt note that is somewhat reminiscent of the Diamond SVL/MDS bottlings. More on the spicy, woody side on the palate. All in all, I like it very much. Rating confirmed in another (blind) tasting. Stands out clearly from the other FS bottlings due to the distinctive coffee note.
#5016 31.12.2024 A nice little rum after dinner now waiting for the big fireworks at midnight. Nose Light wood, sweet, round, fruits, light berries, light pineapple, spice. Palate Oily, wood, faint smoke, fruity, sweet, spice, dried fruit, light chocolate, light cherry. Finish Medium to long, wood, light roasted, fruits, light pineapple, spice, light tannins, light plum. The empty glass has light leather, raisin and light cinnamon.
For me, without direct comparison, one of the best Foursquare bottlings. Alcohol very well integrated, lots of pot on the palate, column not in the foreground. Edit: compared to the Distilia FS Apollo better integrated and less column.
For me once again a nice elegant Foursquare bottling for a long time. This time I only got one bottle for a split, which makes me a little regretful. As usual, every Foursquare ECS bottling is of a high standard with very few exceptions. That's why this one doesn't really stand out, but that still makes it a very good rum for me personally.
