Nose is delicious vanilla, on the taste is again a great vanilla taste but a sudden peppery burn that is a bit too much. A bit later has a wine aftertaste

Mulled wine, fruits, dark chocolate, vanilla on the nose. Hint of raisins and oak. Overall heavier smell than standard ECS.
Tastes exactly as smell. Heavy chocolate, honey and raisins taste. Coffee. Oak and fruits are there too but not that marcant. Really good release. I like those heavy flavours.

Very close to doorly 14. Madeira tones, lighter body, rather short aftertaste.

Typical Bourbony taste, choco-caramelo-smoky mix, not sweet and most importantly sharp acidic from start to body and gives a nice long bitter aftertaste.

Not as good as other Foursquare rums I’ve had. And it wasn’t cheat. Tastes ok on the front end but has an unpleasant funk on the back. Not a fan.

Great rum and great taste.
Spicy, oaky with vanilla and a subtle hint of raisins.
The taste has a similarity to Zafra Master Reserve 30 years.
I like the aftertaste that comes from the Madeira wine.

toto je rum přesně pro mne. Jednoduše skvělý. Síla je v rovnováze s chutí, jedno nepřetlačuje druhé. Je tam cítit jistá síla, ale i jemná nasládlá chuť. Prostě paráda.

Exceptional Cask Mark XI (vydán v srpnu 2019)
Jedná se o blend 12letých rumů stařených v sudech po bourbonu a madeiře.
Vyrobeno bylo 24 000 lahví (9000 EU a 15 000 USA)
Aroma: Klasický FQ - sametově uhlazená vanilka, v pozadí dřevíčko, kokos, mandle, lehce štiplavé
Chuť: Nasládlá - karamel a vanilka
Dozvuk: Dřevo se sušeným ovocem, výrazná rozinkovost. Docela dlouhý, chutný.
Sladkost: 1/3
Ochutnán vzorek
Nejsladší z trojice ochutnávky FQ Sagacity, Premise a Détente. Tento skončil na 2. místě. Jak je u FQ zvykem, jedná se o velmi dobrý rum.

Finally got around to making some notes after enjoying a couple of tastes. This is a really nice rum. I got immediate floral notes on the nose, followed by molasses, caramel, brown sugar, and a bit of citrus after it sat a while longer.
On the palate it is initially sweet, like juicy cherries or plums. That was followed by cloves, spices, dried fruits, and some tropical notes. I got busy and came back to it about ten minutes later and was immediately struck by a taste reminiscent of cotton candy.
The finish was nice with a bit of heat, tobacco, and a slight hint of oak.
A very nice sipper!

Een van de allerbeste releases van Foursquare. Net als de Doorly’s 14 gelagerd op Madeiravaten. Dat proef je. Helaas is de gehele ECS van Foursquare slecht verkrijgbaar.

The rum was bottled at 48%. We have a blend of pot and coffey still that has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels for 12 years. Some of it was stored in ex-Madeira barrels.
Smell: A typical Foursquare finds its way into my nose. Caramel sweetness, dried fruits such as plums / raisins / cranberries and hazelnuts dominate the nose. The rum is a bit alcoholic deeper in the glass. The aromas are therefore not clearly distinguishable for me.
There are still barrel aromas such as oak, some vanilla and some rubber. I think it has similarities with Detente. This is a Foursquare that smells okay, but for me it doesn't belong to the better ones of the ECS series.
Taste: The start is a bit bitter with tannins, the dark wood and the sweetness of burnt sugar. The rum is noticeably older than Detente and more intense on the palate than on the nose. I still taste some gum and the dried fruit before the rum becomes dry on the palate and spicy.
The finish is sharp and medium-long, I can taste barrel aromas, burnt sugar and dried fruits again. Then some hazelnut and the rum says goodbye with a little sweetness.
A dry mouthfeel remains.
Aftertaste: dried fruit, burnt sugar and bourbon barrel flavors
A mediocre bottling that was probably positioned in the middle in terms of price. The rum is not bad, but it didn't impress real Foursquare fans because it provides a standard range of flavors. The influence of Madeira barrel is limited, compared with Empery that has a much stronger sherry influence.
