Get to know: Foursquare ECS Covenant 18YO (70cl, 58%)

Tasting Note

We were very excited to be able to offer a very limited amount of a very special Foursquare rum bottling.

Nose: Crisp pineapple, sultanas, and juicy mango. Banana bread, cacao, toffee and delicate notes of candied ginger.

Palate: Sweet caramel, which quickly gives way to rich, juicy dates, more ripe mango, damson jam, candied orange, and dark chocolate.

Finish: A delicate, dry tannic finish, dried hazelnuts, black tea, and delicate eucalyptus. Hints of burnt rubber and peppery ginger.

This is a Rum to take your time with. It opens, engages, and draws you in. Rich and inviting from first nose to finish. Soft and silky over the palate. A fabulous sipping experience.

Producer Info

FOURSQUARE COVENANT represents the latest bottling from Foursquare Rum Distillery in St Phillip, Barbados. The twenty-third release (Mark XXIII) in the award-winning Limited Edition Exceptional Cask Selection series, and at eighteen years old, it is the oldest distillery released bottling to date.

COVENANT is a Single Blended Rum in that it is a blend of heavy and light marques of Rums distilled in the copper double retort potstill and the continuous twin column stills of Foursquare Distillery. Entirely matured, blended, and bottled in Barbados, and presented at 58% alcohol by volume, without chill-filtration, at its natural colour, and free from sweeteners and other flavourings

Matured exclusively in ex-bourbon cask American white oak, this long-aged bottling was formed from a blend of Rums distilled in 2004 and 2005. An initial spell of ten years in cask led to it being vatted, and then after a considered reduction in alcoholic strength, it was re-casked for a further eight years before being bottled.
