Roasted coconut, raisin and milk chocolate over a firm layer of dry sherry and varnished oak — this is a classic Foursquare pushed toward the dark, drier side. It needs air; the nose starts flat and opens into spice and dried fruit. Several tasters love the complexity, though a few find the wood-plus-sherry combo tips it too dry and the 60% a touch hot.
The community says- Roasted coconut, chocolate
- Rich sherry depth
- Keep in mind: Runs dry

How does Foursquare Private Cask Selection Elysium taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, sherried Foursquare with chocolate and spice Well-liked Bajan sherry cask: rich, spiced, chocolatey and complex. Most enjoy it after dinner, though some find it runs too dry and the heat needs taming.

Most helpful positive review
I wonder how they got their hands on this sample, but not important because it's a great rum. Fruity with roasted wood and spice and a light topping of chocolate. Price to quality at release was really good.

Nose: Butterscotch, leather, varnish, hint of pineapple, raspberry Mouth: Flavour finishes quite fast so it takes a while to figure out what's happening for me. I eventually find cinnamon, black pepper, raisins, brown sugar, nutty, orange zest Finish: A burst of heat that quickly levels out and ends in a medium length finish It really takes a few sips to understand the flavours going on in this glass. While this rum does have some complex notes, they fade quite quickly. It's a bit underwhelming for a premium rum. Nonetheless, while a little lacklustre for a Foursquare release, it is still an enjoyable dram, just not as exciting as it probably should be.
Review by Leo Krüper
Delicious quaffable sherry foursquare
Review by zabo
The longer it is open and the more samples I give it, the better it tastes to me, which is why I have adjusted it upwards. For its shorter storage time than some other ECS, it still delivers a solid performance. Price to appearance relatively fair, if it wasn't for the duty and tax.
Review by Tim
A sherry-aged Foursquare that is a little short on roundness. The nose is very nice, but in the mouth it is too dark, tart and dry and lacks fruit and caramel. Therefore, for me, a little below average compared to other ECS Foursquares.
Review by Serge
Solid Foursquare with a pleasant sherry dryness on the palate. But not a smash hit. Tasted at Zabo's Garden Paradise
Review by DomM
Nose is classic FS with a bit additional red fruits and strawberry bubblegum. Very rich. Nice! On the palate it is very nice as you would expect. However, the combination of wood and sherry notes take this one a bit to much towards the dry side of things to make it to the top notch of FS bottlings.
Review by Johannes
Amazingly good Foursquare! Must be compared with others soon...
Review by mto75
although already over 1 year on sale, there is the Elysium from the PCS series at TWE (exclusive) still for just under 87 GBP. Compared with some other ECS bottlings seems to me that is still a fair price ... because the nose and palate is really not bad. From the balance and 'elegance' perhaps not quite on the level of the recently tasted (and also stored much longer) Raconteur, but with the ECS representatives such as the Redoutable, Indelible, Shibboleth he can certainly keep up.
Review by Boletus
The rum needs some time in the glass until the aroma structure settles, but then alongside the fruity sherry contribution, the typical Foursquare markers also appear. Upon hitting the tongue, the Elysium still feels a bit rough, but then develops a very pleasant interplay between sparkling fruits and creamy chocolate together with darker cask notes. A successful combination, really fun!
Review by TheRhumhoe
Powerful nose at first but more open with time, swirling with spices and toasted notes, caressing the nostrils with a soft and indulgent fruitiness, but just as elegant with a well-controlled varnished wood. Warm mouth, dominated by spices and notes of chocolate, coffee, cooked caramel, almonds and roasted coconut. The fruitiness leans towards raisins, but also cherry, which is a bit different for Foursquare. This would be the perfect rum to accompany a winter Sunday on the couch with a blanket watching TV. Warm, spicy, woody, caramelized, chocolatey finish with nuts. The alcohol could be a bit better integrated, but this is a seasoned and comforting Foursquare.
Review by Basti
The nose is relatively flat and unspectacular at first and needs some time in the glass for the aromas to develop. Then the typical FS notes of coconut (roasted), caramel, dried fruit and wood. A classic Fourquare for me on the palate, nothing more and nothing less.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
The Whisky Exchange excluse rum from Foursquare. Some airing does it well before consuming. Very well integrated ABV% and I found some spice and dried fruits. The notes I got was spicy and some fruit profile of the ex-sherry cask
Review by Tschusikowsky
Very good foursquare. Beautiful nose, very tasty, power of a tropical aged rum, alcohol slightly astringent. Super PLV!
Review by Henry Davies
Nose is pleasant, dry fruits and varnish, with some honeycomb and wood. The mouth is a bit of an explosion and more in your face than many of the ECS releases. It brings sweet and sour cherry, some apple and cinnamon with wood and tar, layered on top of nougat and caramel. The finish is dry and maybe just a touch too dry to be excellent but one of the longest finishes I have had. Sherry expression, different to some of my favourites but an enjoyable and complex rum - after dinner type drinker for me
Review by Martin Švojgr
I've been eyeing this sample for a long time and only got to it today, and I don't regret it at all. It's among the very smooth Foursquare rums with a chocolate, coconut, and raisin flavor. This is a bottling I'd want to have in my bar. The taste of milk chocolate becomes more pronounced with every sip. This one really succeeded.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum especially appreciated by rum lovers who are fed up with sugar and looking for a gentle, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Simply pleasant and not aggressive flavors.
Review by Neil T
Over a little ice this is delicious. Unmistakably Bajan.
Review by Dw117
Struggling with this rum. 62% seems too hot but watering it down seems to lose a lot. Will update later. When I can handle the heat I love it.
Review by Wagnerlicious
A classic rum from Barabados with classic citrus and coconut notes. This bottling impresses with a strong sherry note. It also has hints of vanilla and honey. Slightly pungent alcohol. Solid rum.

Read full review ›This is a really excellent and complex rum. However, with so many releases recently from Foursquare I am looking towards their next steps. As I'm sure some of you are aware, Foursquare have a number of genuinely innovative, as opposed to gimmicky projects in the pipeline. It will be interesting...
