Foursquare 2006 Redoutable 14-Year

Just amazing. Simply fantastic. As good As good as the 2008 12 years old.
Smell is pleasant. Hints of vanilla, coconut and fruits.
The taste is full bodied. Woody and full of more vanilla. Long lasting aftertaste characterized by roasted spicyness and natural sweetness.

One of the best pours of my life! The taste is unbelievable. Worth every penny of the cost!

At first this was a 9 and now (after some air has been allowed into the bottle) I would rate as a 10. For the price these Foursquare ECS are hard to beat. When you consider that Doorlys 14 is a superb rum that costs £65 but for not much more these limited ECS releases provide stunning value for money. Of course finding one in the UK and EU is almost impossible because they sell out with minutes of release. I can’t wait for the next releases…

This is a very smooth rum. My favorite is Foursquare, but this rum is definitely in my top 5!

The best rum I have ever tasted. Omg absolutely amazing

Tasted at Laka Lono. Unusual aroma in the lack thereof- a mild burgundy perhaps. The Flavor explosion is the treat here: heavy notes of chocolate, coconut, wine-like raisins, vanilla, dates. Reconstituted trail mix in a cognac barrel. Love it!

My favorite out of the Foursquare EC Lineup: Caramel, Toffee, Chocolate, Pineapple, Banana, Cherry, Oak, Richness

Tough job - I have to review an ECS Foursquare! Redoutable is a 14 year old rum aged in ex-bourbon and ex-madeira casks, and bottled in 2020 at an impressive 61%ABV.

On the nose there is that signature ripe strawberry note I get off cask strength Foursquare, pepper, a bit of alcohol followed by orange and sweet wine.

The palate is creamy, candied strawberry, orange, vanilla, oak and dry.

The finish is oak, almond and wine.

Another solid ECS!
