Review by DomM
Good stuff. The Madeira finish is very well executed. Enhancing both nose and palate with rich dried fruits. In contrast to some more overpowering finishes in the last releases, I like this very much. Perfectly balanced with the cask strength base DNA.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, roasted wood notes with cocoa, roasted nuts, caramelized, vanilla, toasted coconut, mango and raisins, apricots, some glue, slight metallic patina, flowery and earthy molasses, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, butterscotch and confectionery like pastry, biscuits, arise, madeira touch with berries, dried figs, some orange peel. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is fruity with yellow fruits like peaches, dried fruits with raisins and apricots, much later green and citrus fruits, creamy, sweet with tons of roasted wood notes like butterscotch, chocolate, roasted nuts, caramelized, slightly smoky, spicy with baking spices, on oxidation various confectionery comes out like pastry, biscuits, some burnt sugar.The molasses is slightly herbaceous, there might be some menthol. 8,8:The finish is long, dry&tannic, very balanced, as roasted wood notes pair dried and green fruits, grassy and herbaceous, honeyed molasses..
Review by zabo
Uiuiui, schöne Überraschung mal kurz getestet, wenn er hier schon aufploppt, im Gegensatz zu den verschiedenen Foursquare die ich vor und am GRF im Glas hatte, hebt sich dieser positiv hervor und übertrifft diese.
Review by Tim
Keine ultimative Offenbarung und ich finde ihn sehr ähnlich zum Redoutable. Nase etwas schwächer, aber Mundgefühl etwas besser. Sicherlich gut und auf hohem Level, wie man es von Foursquare ECS kennt. Allerdings ohne unendlich runde Komponente, die häufig mit einem Madeira-Finish kommt. Schade, da wäre etwas mehr Luft nach oben gewesen.
Review by abaker-rum
A solid representation of Barbados rum. The nose has caramel, vanilla, wood, tobacco, and dried fruit. The taste is roasted nuts, chocolate, dried fruit, and spices. The finish is long with a pleasant mix of honey and vanilla.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Time to review the newest release from Foursquare. On the nose: After sitting in the glass i get demerera sugar, vanilla, tobacco, caramel and woody notes. On a blind taste i would have guessed that this is a demerera rum or from St.Lucia. Taste: Burnt sugar, caramel and vanilla dominate the profile. You can feel the abv but its somehat nicely integrated to more full body taste. Still quite warm and pleasant on mouthfeel. That trademark balance is also there. Finish: Woody, touch of honey,nutty, roasted, tobacco. Little bit of vanilla. Medium-long finish. Interesting release from Foursquare. I has elements of El Dorado core releases and St.Lucian rums, but the quality of Foursquare is there.
Review by Fred Tillac
👃 = Arômes de fruits tropicaux avec une trame vineuse et boisée ainsi qu'un peu de tabac et de dattes. 👄 = Après la mise en bouche poivrée, je retrouve le nez dans un jus suave et chaud avec des fruits à coque, du caramel et un peu plus de fruits jaunes. La finale prolonge bien la dégustation avec de la vanille et du cuir. Ce Foursquare ECS 28 n'est pas exceptionnel mais c'est tout de même très bon 👍
Review by Basti
6 Foursquare in blind tasting. There is often talk here of uniformity, but for me this is most true of Foursquare. Some of them are almost indistinguishable on the nose. The differences become clearer on the palate, but everything is still close together. Magisterium, Equidem and Fidelitas are slightly ahead of Sassafras, Triptych and Convocation. The profile of Fidelitas differs somewhat more from the other bottlings mentioned above.
Review by paulgi86
I’m comparing this to Equidem - and to me that’s high praise (currently amongst the best tasting rums I’ve put to my lips so far!) The nose on this is delightful - I’m grinning from ear to ear!! You do get the signature coconut, caramel, burnt sugar and toasted notes but you also smell the presence of the Madeira cask as well - almost doubling down on the caramel side of things with the smallest tinge of nuttiness and dried fruits along with it. On the palate, the Madeira is pushed front and centre to the palate - it doesn’t dominate, it’s just the bourbon barrel part of the blend definitely plays a supporting duet kind of role… Notes of vanilla, cinnamon, burnt sugar, maple syrup alongside the usual Madeira cask notes of sharp yet floral dried fruits…. What’s REALLY apparent is the texture both in smell and taste - it smells and tastes thick, velvety, full bodied, balanced, complex and creamy. An utter delight for me!
Review by Martin Spooner
Quite a well-rounded aromatic Foursquare. One of my favorites in the ranks of Foursquares.
Review by Nils123
Very tasty and well balanced flavors such as chocolate, dried fruit and burnt sugar.
Review by Johannes
I am pleasantly surprised! Ex Bourbon and Madeira harmonize quite perfectly!
Review by Fuwi
Sehr schöne Abfüllung von Foursquare, die sich positiv gegenüber anderen abhebt und eigene Noten mitbringt. Grundsätzlich hat er eine Menge Foursquare Gene, natürlich. Trockene, rote Früchte, Vanille und Fasseinflüsse und unverkennbare Foursquare Aromen. Aber diese Abfüllung bekommt durch das Madeira Finish hinten raus eine erwachsene, runde Note. Er wirkt am Gaumen sehr seidig, geschmeidig, durch ölige Texturen und ein fast herber Abgang mit Eichen-Aromen und Gewürzen, die an Lebkuchen und Weihnachten erinnern. Bleibt insgesamt allerdings hinter anderen Abfüllungen leicht zurück - dennoch klasse Ausgabe!
Review by Topher
Finishing my second bottle and behind on reviews. I guess I could stop the review at “second bottle” as it speaks for itself. Convocation is bold but really well put together. Oak, vanilla, and dark fruit stand out, with the usual spice keeping it fun. The finish hangs on clean and steady. One of those pours that keeps you reaching back for another sip. I’m going to let it sit for a month and try again.
Review by Schnubbii
Ersteindruck schon mal positiv. Leckerer Foursquare, das Madeira-Finish ergänzt das klassische Profil dezent.
