Caramelized sugar and butter off the nose — "like a bakery," one taster says — with tobacco, milk chocolate and dry oak underneath. This is the last and oldest of the ECS line at 19 years, full ex-bourbon, no fancy finish, and members who love that classic dry Foursquare style rate it accordingly. At 57% it runs hot and can singe the nose. A couple find the palate a touch soft and wish the finish ran longer.

How does Foursquare ECS XXXI Epilogue 2026 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dry, oaky 19-year Foursquare, no gimmicks The consensus calls it a worthy, high-quality close to the series — very Foursquare, no tricks. A few prefer younger siblings like the Covenant, and some want more punch on the finish.

Review by F Kraemmer
Tasting date 04.09.2026 Barbados night with Mr. Daniel Jungberg. RX26386 ECS XXXI Epilogue. Nose: Caramelized, molasses. Vanilla and light burnt sugar. Dried fruits and light oak. Cake notes like the danish famous “brunsviger” Mouth: Balanced smoothness switch quick and dry oak and bitterness emerges. Roasted wood and smoke. Spices ass allspice, anis and vanilla notes. English licorice and tobacco. Residual taste: Loads of spices, dried fruits and burnt sugar. Roasted wood and smoke. Leather, dark chocolate and bitter almond. Light burnt orange peels. The glass: Vanilla and tobacco. Tasting “In the cave”
Review by Tim
Wow, the last of the ECS. The oldest Foursquare in the series at 19 years. Bourbon-only. The nose is perfect, very round and balanced: vanilla, caramel, fruit, roasted notes, wood, milk chocolate. Tastes delicious, smooth and somewhat... weak?! The finish could be longer, but it's also tasty here with vanilla, caramel, chocolate.
Review by zabo
Well, what can you say about the latest Foursquare from the ECS series? Here too, the high standard continues, which you’re used to from Richard Seal’s own bottlings. A very good drop.
Review by alex
This latest release is superb Foursquare delights us again Beautiful notes of fruit, vanilla, caramel, spices, a nice woodiness, it’s very smooth and with a lovely long finish I don’t know what they’ll do next, but in any case this last pour is top ❤️❤️❤️
Review by Fuwi
This is basically the last ECS Foursquare. Well then. A solid representative of its origin, no big surprise really. The value for money is pretty good, it brings a lot of body and quality, I won’t go into the typical FS notes. Good stuff, the price is fair and not inflated – but it’s labeled ECS and not Velier – otherwise a 2 would be the leading digit on the price tag.
Review by Leo Krüper
Very solid, classic Bourbon Foursquare. If you like the Pleni, you'll also experience a very good Foursquare here.
Review by Schnubbii
So this is the last of the ECS bottlings. On the nose pretty soft and quite familiar. On the palate also the familiar profile, but very mature. For my taste a bit nuttier than younger bottlings. Despite the age, fewer tannins than the Covenant, which I like. Compared to other pure bourbon barrel maturations like the Nobiliary, a bit more refined and settled. All in all, a worthy, high-quality conclusion to the ECS series, which I like better than some bottlings with a fancy finish in a special cask. In my opinion, pure bourbon barrel aging still suits Foursquare best, and this bottling very well too. For me, definitely one of the better recent Foursquare bottlings.
Review by Daniel Jungberg.
Tasting together with F. Kraemmer. On 04.09.2026 Nose on an adventure👃: I sense a Danish cake called "brunsviger." Deep notes of molasses. Caramelized nuts & baked banana. Tongue on an adventure 🥃: I clearly taste barrel influence, roasted/burnt caramel. Allspice, star anise & light licorice. Dark chocolate is also distinct. The tail of the story💫: light spicy notes. Chocolate & citrus dominate for me. Really delicious rum with a medium-long finish.
Review by Michael Schou
#1825 14-08-2026 - Rate 8.7 Once again Foursquare and Richard sends out a fantastic rum. This one is 19 years and full bourbon cask. I really like the way Foursquare experiment with different cask finished. You know what you get with Foursquare, but then again they have different profiles. And they get older with evety year. I fell for Foursquare 10 years ago when they put put 8-10 year rums. Now they are around 20 years. Can’t wait till we get 30 year tropical aged Foursquare
Review by Florent Apl
Foursquare flight this evening, thanks to Lada for the samples! The last of the ECS, Foursquare is not particularly known for surprising their fan base, but this is one is very Foursquare-ish, not tricks or twist. There's caramel, wood, spices and some coconut. It's quite intense, perhaps even a bit hot. In comparison, I think I preferred the Covenant, one year younger than this one.
Review by ThreeH
Really beautiful orange-golden color, bright, clear, appetizing. On the nose, what you expect from a Foursquare. Caramel, butterscotch, honey. But also some fruity notes and certain fresh top notes that I find hard to place. Added to that are woody (oak) aroma components. On the palate, the spicy and caramel parts dominate. Also a certain freshness here. Citrus notes? The rum has a long finish on the palate flavors and a slight acidity impression right at the end. Undoubtedly well made, but not my favorite from the ECS series.
Review by ThatCubanRumGuy
I bought a case of these the other day. Its raining and nothing to do. Decided to cook some skirt steak for my wife and pulled one of these out of the cellar. Nose: Burnt my nose a couple times 😂😂😂but I am getting some caramelized sugar and butter, almost like the smells you get from a bakery/pastry shop. There’s also some Tobacco in the mix but the tones are super balanced. Palate: Round and Balanced flavor profile. Mid palate offers some chocolate and nutty flavors, followed by some warm citrus and oak. ABV is definitely well integrated here. Finish Is definitely long with warm notes of chocolate and oak.
Review by bibi la légende
Foursquare Epilogue 19 years 57° Tasting with a sample. Nose: quite a present alcohol (but less than the Convocation). Palate: quite warm, beautiful woodiness, caramel, roasted coconut, peppery, vanilla in the background. Finish: peppery, woody and roasted, relatively long, tobacco and cocoa, slight bitterness (pleasant). It's enough to have a good time and a nice tasting. A beautiful rum overall for those who like the Foursquare/Barbados profile.
Review by Henry Davies
The last ECS. Not the best by any stretch but a solid finale. Nose is great, classic Foursquare, honey, vanilla, chocolate. Mouth is spicy with wood and caramel. Not the best or most elegant, rather too much spice but solid. The finish carries too much spice and is a touch too acidic for me, long and layers of caramel and caraway.
Review by romsoffan
Balanced, nutty , vanilla and dark chocolate.

I don't really understand why people are hesitant. Fantastic rum!
