Review by Tim
Madeira cask + Barbados = pure delight. Chocolate, honey, caramel, wine, barrel, all kinds of fruit. Full power. Also a bit roasted on the palate. Very balanced, complex, and very smooth. For me, one of the better/best Foursquare ECS I've had in the glass so far.
Review by Oliver
Wonderful rum from the Foursquare distillery! Spicy, full-bodied and delicious. In the nose surprise floral notes, which I did not know from Foursquare so. From the profile it goes towards really good Tropical Guyana Column! Very good!

Adventskalender 2025 Er geht stark in die Nase, man schmeckt seine 61%
Review by Stefan L
Yummy! Really good, would love to A-B test this one against the Plenipotenziario one day. Still good on it’s own and really glad that I have more of those precious drops. - Just as good on a Tuesday 😋 - And on a Monday too 🤪 - Long time sine last time, still really good. - 250812: Long time sine last time but… yummy as expected.

Adventskalender 2025, mir zu stark, dadurch kommt der Geschmack leider nicht durch,
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
24.11.2025 Another sample to finish and now I will have to open the bottle if I want some more. Still a pretty good release. ------------ I just picked up this one with a trunk full of other rums yesterday and we just had to sample it in the evening. I have to admit that we had to sample it twice, just to make sure we weren't wrong :-) The nose is wonderful and fruity with vanilla and brown sugar. In the back there is notes of the barrel and some flowers. The palate is very complex and well balanced and continues the nose with fruits and chocolate. The i get oak and way back some polish or varnish. The finish is very long, warm and has roasted barrel and in the back some marzipan.

Alcool trop présent, manque de gourmandise
Review by Timo Groeger
Yes, the end of the day and a real highlight. This Foursquare has vanilla, caramel, coconut and glue on the nose. Continues on the palate. Thanks Tim for the sample, very tasty.
Review by zabo
Edit: I particularly like the interplay of the Bourbon and Madeira cask, which harmonizes very well and doesn't take over the dominance. Franconian Tasting Course One of the better ECS. Above the average of the other bottlings.
Review by Basti
Guter Foursquare, der alles mitbringen was man von einem FS erwartet. An der Nase Kokosnuss, Gewürze, getrm Früchte, etwas Klebstoff und auch florale Anklänge. Das Madeira Fass iet für mich kaum bis gar nicht wahrnehmbar. Edit: Nun schon mehrfach im Glas gehabt. Braucht sehr lange bis er sich im Glas entwickelt. Gefällt mir mittlerweile nicht mehr ganz so gut wie anfangs. Nach wie vor ein guter FS, aber nicht ganz vorne mit dabei.
Review by Maxence
Typical profile we all know from Foursquare but the Madeira finish is not of my taste
Review by Jakob
Unfortunately a little sharp on the palate again, even after more than an hour of breathing in the glass. The Madeira influence remains rather restrained, the "big brother" Destino plays in a different league. Rather average for Foursquare.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Another masterstroke.
Review by alex
Faithful to its productions. Very tasty. A treat 😊😍 It's easy to taste, with great length... it's one of my favorites along with the Plenipo. Du coup c'est me 2 eme bouteille 😂😂 A sure bet
Review by w00tAN
Fruit and dark chocolate alternate on the nose. But fruit and an indefinable floral note can also be detected. Powerfully spicy in the mouth, wood and dark chocolate. Great complexity and perfectly integrated alcohol. Unfortunately, the finish is only medium-long and beautifully dry with a slight peppery note. I like it very much!

Back this up with a growing portfolio of continuous releases. Certainly for me this leaves less money in my wallet for Independent bottlings of..."Read full review →
