„It’s number eleven in the Foursquare EC Series. It consists of a blend from both Pot and Coffey stills distillate aged for twelve years in by ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira casks before blended at ABV 48%. Overall an intense, complex, pleasant and any other superlatives that comes to your mind.“

„Classic FS profile meets Madeira. Wine. Baking spices. Typical glue and solvents. Round. Good! But is FS not getting a bit boring? The marge of differences/variety between different FS bottles is quite small...“

„Du bois vernis, du thé noir et de la mangue au nez. Mais le tout assez faible et un peu plus piquant que le Premise. La bouche a un côté un peu acqueux, les aromes ne sont pas marqués. Un rhum qui ne raconte pas grand’chose. La finale est étonnante, assez longue et persistante malgré la faiblesse aromatique. Un rhum moins bon que le Premise, sauf la finale. L’équilibre et la buvabilité sont cependant là.“

„Just like the other exceptional casks this one shines pretty well for me. The nose is fruity with vanilla and there are some solvents there and oak in the end. The palate lives up to the nose with a very fruity touch. Pepper is very obvious and nice followed by caramel and spices. There is also a nice and oaky touch. The finish is nice and has vanille, citrus and oak. Leave the glass for next day and dip your nose into it and you'll get rewarded with a wonderful complex nose.“

„Ein fruchtiger und würziger Geruch, leicht holzig und süß, etwas Vanille. Leichte Süße im Geschmack, etwas ölig, sehr lecker. Der Nachklang ist mittellang, leicht brennend aber angenehm.“

„Lower ABV makes it smoother compared to othe ECS releases. The Madeira flavours are obvious enough, particularly in the finish, while the rum mostly retains the classic Foursquare profile.“
