One taster called it the "budget side of foursquare ecs and very good at that!" — and that fits. Vanilla, coconut, raisin and warm caramel on the nose, then baking spice, dried fruit and toasted oak, with a port-cask backbone that adds red fruit without taking over. The lower 51% makes the alcohol sit quietly. Dry, woody finish. Classic Bajan Foursquare, easy to like.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Balanced port finish
- Keep in mind: Not very exciting

How does Foursquare ECS XIV Détente 2010 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Smooth, fruity Bajan sipper with port Most people call it a very drinkable, well-balanced Foursquare with a nicely integrated port finish. The recurring gripe: it's more of a comfortable daily sipper than a thrilling one.

Delicious nose of vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, chocolate and harmonious fruits like banana, raisin (red fruits) and coconut. On the palate, due to the slightly lower ABV, mildly sweet with caramel, still naturally a bit peppery, toasted and lots of spices. Fruit is also present, which in the finish is overlaid by bitter chocolate and roasted caramel. Top rum with a subtle port finish, back then at a very good price, but nowadays hard to find.

In comparison with Foursquare ECS, it doesn't really catch my attention. For me, the nose is still ahead of the palate. It's almost a little thin there and the port barrel is too dominant on the finish. Still a little young overall. Not much fun - for me at least.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, the first impression is immediately expressed in the form of a veil of solvent.The wood is full of all its aromas of grilled and caramelized nuts, cinnamon and roasting.There are bourbon yellow fruits like apricot, perhaps peach jam, which sticks and coats the nostrils. On aeration, the oak is tender with vanilla, toasted coconut, tobacco and sweet caramel, soft and buttery, very pleasant. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is supple from the start, delicious and balanced.The wood then releases notes like spicy oak, toasted coconut and fatty, buttery butterscotch and roasted nuts with gourmet caramel, the fruits are bourbon yellow, dried, the molasses a bit vegetal... 8,7:The finish is long, dry and woody, with all the notes from palate lingering on for a while and some red fruits from port ageing, strong prunes... Edit:28.3.25, 29.6.25, 😋

25.11.2025 Retasting this one while watching Immortals. Still like it a lot. ---------- We also dived into this one yesterday and I ended up getting a bit tipsy because we had to double sample this one as well :-) The nose i is nice and fruity with vanilla and some barrel, in the back i get cinnamon, and coconut. The palate is also fruity and drizzled with spices. Then comes toasted oak and some burnt sugar. The finish is long and warm, slightly dry with vanilla and wonderful oak.
Review by Aussierumfan
Another tasty rum from foursquare well rounded and full of foursqaure style flavour. Tropical fruits, spicy with lots of vanilla along with touches of chocolate and caramel with the port finish coming through, A medium length finish.
Review by Insta: spiritofbernard 🇫🇷
The alcohol is beautifully integrated, almost too much. Blindly, it is impossible to know that this candy is 51%.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A particularly tasty Foursquare. The nose offers a radiant bouquet of dried and tropical fruits (coconut, banana, pineapple, raisins and raisins) that oscillates with sweet spices, caramel and chocolate. On the palate, grapes and port come first, followed by a beautiful palette of spices and toasty, woody and warm flavors. The finish is long and just as elegant, warm and balanced as the rest. A mastered and greedy Foursquare.
Review by DomM
Well rounded FS. Port adds some nice sprinkles without overwhelming the profile.
Review by cigares
A full, sustained nose, especially compared with the Sagacity. Fruity too, with a dirty edge that gives depth to the aromas. The palate is a little diluted, which is a pity. Yet it remains quite lively. The finish has good length, with a few dirty edges. The empty glass offers fruit and pastry. A fine Foursquare, expressive and fruity. The alcohol could be a little better integrated, but this is already a top-notch rum.
Review by mto75
as a pronounced port wine fan, I would have liked a stronger port wine influence. However, the bourbon barrel clearly dominates. Apart from that, however, pleasing FS.
Review by Henry Davies
Interestingly this is the biggest miss to my palatte of all the Foursquare ECS I have tried. Still in any rationale sense a high quality and well composed rum but I have never quite got along with it. The nose is light but rather pleasant, nothing too complex but with wood, bourbon and some fruit at the edges. The mouth has an astringent edge, chocolate and spice with some barrel influence (not oak) and mace on the spice side. The finish is lightly spicy and dry, but lacks complexity and ends with a long wood and leather finish that lingers almost too long. It’s on the challenging side for my palate and try as I may not a rum I love
Review by zabo
Edit: aus der frischen Flasche nochmals probiert, gefällt mir viel besser als ich ihn Erinnerung hatte. Auch als Mixer ist er echt gut. Nach oben korrigiert Alles in allem ein typischer Foursquare. Nichts besonderes. Es gibt weitaus bessere ESCs. Dieser ist für mich eher ein Daily.
Review by Timo Groeger
Again a very nice nose, vanilla, caramel and wood. On the palate then also a slight sweetness, burnt sugar comes into play here as well. Also very spicy. The finish very long, here the port cask dominates.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
One tastes in the finish the part that was stored in the port wine barrel. As usual, a Barbados rum of a high quality. Highly recommended even if it could be a bit more complex, it is still a nice sipper.
Review by MarcT
I had this several times, and always problems to get a good nosing. I really like the taste, however. One really gets the port influence, but it does not overpower the rum itself.

Review by Tom Buteneers
Revisited this one today with the last drops from a sample. It’s Foursquare, so as usual it’s very good. But not exciting somehow.
Review by Johannes
For my taste, the port finish doesn't quite fit. Too much for me, too sweet.
Review by Chrischi78
Small comparative tasting of RX2192, RX7623 and RX7158. Overall, 7158 takes first place. All have a very similar profile. All very pleasing. However, I can't really name any real quality outliers aside from ABV and different intensity.
Review by Tafia Guildive
Bottlekill, as with almost all bottlings preconditioned by “wine” in the broadest sense, except Madeira, the last dram was the tastiest. The bottle was open just over 2 years and oxidized excellently. Great and fruity Foursquare profile, very elegant and something for the senses.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid basic Foursquare with quite obvious port finish, which is noticeable aromatically through cinnamon, dried fruits, red fruit jelly and caramel. Unusually many tannins and therefore very astringent on the finish. Not necessarily the most drinkable Foursquare, I had higher expectations...
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
A very well integrated alcohol in this rum, it doesn't have a mouthfeel as one at 51% ABV. A very enjoyable Foursquare, with a delicious nose of vanilla, leather and fudge, and within the rum I found notes of dried fruits, cocoa and oak
Review by TheJackDrop
Unique, un vrai plaisir. Difficile à comparer. En resume, mes notes de degutation : Au nez : Colle, Vanillé En bouche : Porto, Toasté, Fût, Caramélisé La finale plutot orientee vers : Boisé, Épicé, Cuir, Chêne
Review by Jussi Piirainen
First taste was in Tokyo 2024 and now, i finally got the bottle. On the nose: Vanilla forward. Coconut. On the sweeter side, but nice, round and fruity. After the rum has been sittin in the glass for a while the burnt sugar notes come in. Taste: Alcohol has been integrated well and its giving a body to the taste but not a intense rum at all. Vanilla, raisin, burn sugar and fruits. Barrel influence is there, sweeter side but in form of spices and fruits. Finish: medium-long finish. Very Dry and woody but still quite warm after a quite sweet and fruity taste. I would call this a good entry to Foursquare ECS series due to abv and its easily approcable taste profile. Its on the sweeter side, but not one note taste profile at all and the dry finish makes this rum a good experience for me
Review by Kéké
Looks a lot like the Premise in more dry. Alcohol well integrated, the nose and taste notice the port barrel. Excellent rum of Foursquare.
Review by Pavel Spacek
... Foursquare is a distillery from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday sipping. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by Romanians who are fed up with sugar and are looking for a smooth, sweet rum full of coconut, vanilla, chocolate and caramel. Just pleasant and not aggressive flavours.

Review by Christian Rudt
Great Foursquare. I think I'd buy a bottle right away at the RRP. Unfortunately I missed it. The port cask really comes into its own here. A great rum to enjoy.
Review by Anubis_CZ
My first foursquare, one of my best rum in my collection. Taste And nose - all perfect.
Review by Portman
Orange zest, pineapple, roasted almonds on the nose. All that also on the palate, complemented by a very soft, velvety, floral taste of dried fruits. Alcohol perfectly integrated, with a warm and medium-long finish.
Review by Campbell
Another very good ECS release (that I unfortunately missed out on). The port cask influence is well integrated—rather than dominating, it forms a rich, fruity backbone to the more familiar Bajan/ex-bourbon notes.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
Classic Foursquare profile, nothing wrong with it. Vanilla, spices, tropical fruits,... The addition of ex-port maturation is nice but not overwhelming. The ABV is pleasant, but water opens up both the aroma and the palate.
Review by Mirco
Rum Club Switzerland Tasting Set. Thanks Denis for organizing. Very rounded Foursquare with a nice balance between sweetness, fruit, and wood. On the nose vanilla, caramel, ripe fruits, and a bit of spice. On the palate soft and balanced with oak, spices, and a slight chocolate note. Few edges and corners, but very pleasant to drink.
Review by Jack M
Classic foursquare core profile. Spices front, fruitcake on the palate, plums and dates. Gentle smokey and oakey finish.
Review by Joachim Guger
A Foursquare in the usual quality, so actually eh boring...In the mouth red fruit, I would not have needed so. In the mouth full and fat. Very lush. So not my favorite Foursquare, but if you are red wine drinker recommendable.
Review by Stylo
Particularly interesting aromatic profile, reminiscent of cotton candy and cinnamon apple pie.
Review by Roman Staroń
Next to Sagacity, my second favorite Foursquare.
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
Astoundingly good for a $60 rum. A warm nose with some banana and coconut (a first for me from a Foursquare), along with the classic oak and vanilla of a Bajan, and a hint of sourdough bread. On the palate it hews a little closer to the standard ECS profile: baking spices and oak. The most surprising detail on the palate is a slight hint of passion fruit. The finish is satisfying and massively chocolatey. This rum continues to unfold overtime and gives a compelling bouquet of different notes. Ranks among my favorite ECS.
Review by jayelle
This is such a drinkable rum. The fruit and sweet notes are not overpowered by the oakiness. The port gives it a nice finish. The strength doesn't give it too much of a burn. Drinking this neat, it goes down so smoothly. Putting it on a whiskey ball would be dangerous!
Review by Mike
With a little less % I would taste a little more
Review by Kay Meertens
Very ripe galia melon, dried fig and raisin in the nose. In the taste more typical column still notes like vanilla sugar, tonic and lime are added. The finish goes to the stickier side again. A very good one
Review by Kuba Boháč
This is my favorite thing. Lower proof, great taste that never disappointed me with any ECS. Perfect for evening sipping. Gentle, fragrant just right, very good!
Review by Roman Lelek
When tasting it reminded me of the taste of Doorlys 14... but Detente is even gentler and smoother, more balanced..
Review by Johan Larsson
Very gentle and almost smoky. Loads of voices speaking in fruity mellow tones. Like it.
Review by paulgi86
First ever "proper" rum tasted and, as a whisky drinker, I can see why many in my circle recommend Foursquare amongst others... A jammy yet caramel like rum - definitely different from a whisky, more sweetness from it than my palate is normally used to with Scotch however it's fantastic... Whatever port casks were used have done a good job providing another layer of flavour and complexity to this blend Would definitely recommend and buy!
Review by Solidfunk
I can tell just from the smell that this one is going to be another banger. Lemon, raspberry, sour plum, tangy apricot and maybe cinnamon, as some mentioned. The aroma on this is super fruity. Oak. More oak on the taste, which isnt quite as exciting as the smell initially promises. There is more lemon and some green peppercorn on the end. Finish is mostly bitter with just a small bit of sweetness. Less caramel than many Foursquare offerings. Pours dark golden. Sample thanks to Yaro.

Expert review by RumRock
Read full review ›Here we have another one, probably the last representative of the Foursquare Exceptional Cask series this year. The last two rums (Nobiliary and 2008) set the bar very high, so everyone was curious if Détente would follow suit. Unfortunately, I drank the Port Cask Finish a long time ago, so I don't recall a direct comparison.
