Dead Reckoning Rum Foursquare Barbados (Spanish PX Cask) 2013

The PX cask stays quiet here — this is Foursquare speaking first, with oak, red fruit and a wisp of smoke, and the sherry sweetness sitting politely in the middle rather than taking over. At 52% it runs a touch rough and peppery neat, with a woody, red-fruit finish. Several tasters rate it a good sipper while noting it's a bit more one-dimensional than the standard ECS bottles.

The community says
  • Oak and red fruit
  • Nice PX finish
  • But: A bit rough neat

Foursquare and PX finish simply go well together. The finish on this one is rather subtle, but adds some complexity.

Nose is red wine and alcohol, with wood and vanilla. Mouth brings more oak and smoke, with some red fruit. Finish is peppery with oak and red fruits. Different to the normal ECS releases, and a bit more one dimensional. Not the best four square by any stretch

Drinking this neat next to a Foursquare Detente. The Detente is the same age, abv, and also finished in port casks. The Detente is slightly darker and smoother on the finish, but this is a very nice sipper. Port finish gives it a sweet jaminess on the middle of the tongue. First of my Dead Reckoning's I've opened, and I'm enjoying it!
