Aroma visualization from community tastings
Foursquare ECS X 2007
Fans of the Foursquare house style will feel right at home here: vanilla, coconut, oak and caramel with banana and dried fruit around the edges, all built on ex-bourbon casks. At 59% it runs woody and a touch hot, so give it 30 minutes to open. Most call it very good and textbook — just don't expect anything new from the distillery.
The community says- Balanced coconut-vanilla
- Rich ex-bourbon oak
- But: Nothing new

How does Foursquare ECS X 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 165 community reviews.
Classic Foursquare: coconut, vanilla, dry oak Loved by Foursquare fans as classic vintage quality — coconut, vanilla, oak, well-aged. The common note: excellent but familiar, and a couple found the alcohol a bit hot and unintegrated.

06.11.2025 Retasting while watching a Danish tv series about the police and their work. ---------- This one has a heavy nose and palate compared to the 2004, which I consider more light and delicate. Very robust and in your face compared to both 2004 and 2005. The bourbon barrels are very obvious in this version and definitely something that bourbon fans will like.

... Foursquare is a distiller from Barbados producing amazing rums for everyday drinking. It's a rum that will be appreciated especially by Rumarians 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 Joachim Guger
Typical Fourquare profile at a high level.Strong on caramel this time, little tropical fruit and little wood ripeness. Very nice and fine spice. Not too lush.A few drops of water do not hurt.For me one of the better FS, a good high-end sipper, but novel is something else.
Review by Timo Groeger
Then once again a better rum with this Foursquare. Almost everything is represented here in the nose and on the palate. Here we have some wood, a slight fruitiness thanks to coconut and, in my opinion, a little too much sweetness (vanilla and caramel).
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, toasted wood notes like butterscotch, nuts, leather, spicy with baking spices, fresh, grassy molasses, slightly vegetal, banana and coconut, metallic patina, some glue, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the molasses is herbaceous, sweet with honey, dried apricots, raisins and citrus fruits arise, vanilla, milk and white chocolate, toffee. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is round, balanced with sweet toasted oak notes like caramel, nuts, toffee, leather, burnt sugar, dark and milk chocolate, spicy with baking spices, fruity with coconut, dried apricots, raisins, citrus fruits, banana and pineapple, as the molasses is flowery, dark with black tea. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, with toasted oak notes, spicy, nutty, dried fruits, coconut and earthy molasses with cigar tobacco and pencil shavings. Edit:14.7.26
Review by Sebastian Kornett
As I celebrate the Jamaicans, so Barbados rum must not be missing. Which would be the best choice?! Of course a Foursquare. Delicious sweet complex nose. Smooth complex taste and nice long balanced finish. I have also fallen in love with the.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A characterful Foursquare, with a powerful, alcoholic nose marked by lively spices and a drier woodiness. Fruits (coconut, dried fruit and citrus) and notes of sugar and caramel add roundness to a rather fiery, bold profile. The attack on the palate is frank and spicy, carried by flavors of vanilla and caramel, toffee and coconut, nutmeg and chocolate, dried fruit and toast. A warm rum where the alcohol could have been a little better integrated with this strong character. The finish is drier and more astringent, with a hint of bitterness creeping in despite the deliciousness of the bourbon, coconut and caramel. Chocolate, coffee, leather and wood block out the spicy tone with a profile that's more arduous than usual. A rather taut Foursquare, with character but lacking in development and expression on the nose and palate.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Fabulous nose! Coconut and vanilla come immediately to my mind, then banana and honey follow... In the mouth it's greedy, it's pastry, but above all it's good! I love it and I don't know much about Foursquare...

Review by Paul Christiaens
Verdict: this is an easy rum, quite well made, and nothing bad. It just doesn't have the wow factor for me. It's very much whisky like. 81 points Nose: coconut milk, wood, vanilla, yellow fruit, orange, light glue, honey. Palate: sweet, oily, honeyed, woody and oak (vanilla). Plenty of orange, white tobacco, coconut. Finish: medium, sweet and slight acidic, mainly on orange and oak, just a hint of pepper, white tobacco, yellow fruit.
Review by Tim
Im Vergleich zum 2008 und 2009 ist dieser Rum auf der weicheren Seite: mehr Frucht, mehr Toffee, weniger Gewürze und Leder, was aber trotzdem ein elementarer Bestandteil des Profils bleibt. Auch das trockene Mundgefühl bleibt eher verdeckt und man erhält eine gute Balance aus Holz, Schokolade, Karamell und Frucht.
Review by Rodolphe
A must-have for any fan of Barbados. What's more, the price is (or was) quite affordable.
Review by Skyfly
Ab dem Öffnen des Samples riecht man Vanille und Kokosnuss, welche einen bis zum Abgang begleiten. Holz, Trockenfrüchte, leichte Gewürze und Milchschokolade kommen im Gaumen richtig gut zur Geltung. Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Eine halbe Stunde sollte er aber zum Atmen bekommen
Review by Christian Rudt
Foursquare simply offers very good quality year after year - the 12-year-old vintages like this are the perfect example. It doesn't knock your socks off but it's great quality where you can't go wrong 😋
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Much more blend than most other exceptional casks. Good rum but go for the 2004 instead that's much better.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
Woody and intense at first, but once you let it sit in the glass for 30-60 minutes it starts to open up nicely. On the nose: Vanilla, coconut, woody notes with nice banana and caramel notes. Hints of toffee on the background and some dried fruits. I absolutely love the sweetness level on this one and its Foursquare, so of course its balanced. Bourbon barrel influence is there, but this one was quite rich on the nose. Taste:Woody and vanilla notes at first. Coconut notes. Caramel notes than take the profile to a sweeter side. Then you get some dark cholate notes that take over the palate Nicely round and balanced. Finish: Very woody and dry, maybe even slightly bitter compared to taste profile. Light coconut notes at the background. Some chocolate notes. Medium finish. I really liked this one. Good level of sweetness and the palate was little bit richer than typical ex-bourbon cask rums.
Review by Michal S
Aroma a bit more interesting than taste, classic Foursquare profile (coconut, vanilla, wood). Very good rum.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Foursquare 2007 – 59% Distillé en 2007 à la distillerie Foursquare (Barbade), ce rhum est issu d’un assemblage classique de pot still et de colonne. Après 12 ans en fûts de bourbon, il offre un profil riche et équilibré. 🔹 Nez : arômes de caramel et de vanille. 🔹 Bouche : épicée, avec des notes de fruits secs et une présence modérée de bois et de fruits tropicaux. 🔹 Finale : douce et subtilement sucrée, avec une belle complexité épicée. Un excellent millésime, fidèle au style Foursquare.
Review by Gil Firth
Very sweet and balanced. A cool release. This is a cool and clean release. Some more banana and vanilla notes. טעימת פורסקוור בקבוק טוב. שוב. מאוד טעים. מאוזן יחסית עם הרבה רשמים מתוקים של ברבן. שוקולד. פירות מגוונים אדומים ובהירים. דבש. אחלה הוצאה אבל אין איזה משהו ייחודי.
Review by VitaliiZaichuk
Foursquare 2007 is a delicious, masterfully rum. The palate opens with rich notes of coconut, vanilla cream, and caramel. This sweetness is perfectly balanced by a deep, prominent wood taste of aged oak, bringing coconut to a long. A true masterpiece
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Well balanced. Nose: Bananas, Honey. Taste: Banana pudding, sweet. The finish is prolonged and has some dark chocolate aftertaste.
Review by Jonas
Vanille und Kokos. Lecker Puddingbrezel. Alkohol etwas zu präsent.
Review by Jackie Flannery
Blindtaste Foursquare A. OB Isonomy, 17y, 2005, 58% B. OB 2007, 12y, 59% C. Kill Devil 2007, 14y, 63,4% Foursquare used to be my favourite distillery, but after a while I felt that most of the releases started to taste the same, too safe, and I lost much of my passion for the distillery. In front of me I had 3 glasses. I named them A, B and C. RUM B C: Dark gold. N: A muted version of RUM A. Foursquare coconut and column fumes. 20min. Still a bit muted. More of that coconut and petrol. M: Less vibrant, less sweet and more burnt than RUM A. Again peaches and coffee. F: Long and nice. My Guess: Isonomy RUM B: OB 2007 I was wrong B: Maybe
Review by Jack M
Very good. Classic Foursquare. Cooking spices, vanilla, pastry.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Meine RumRatings Review von vor 6 Jahren: Im Glas wirkt der Rum direkt schwer und ölig und zieht schöne Schlieren. Die Nase ist sehr wuchtig. Feine Fruchtnoten paaren sich mit würzigen intensiven Holznoten. Gebrannte Eiche und Schokolade und auch Vanille. Die Nase ist sehr ausgeglichen, intensiv und abwechslungsreich. Im Laufe des Abends wurde er immer besser. Am Anfang ist er auf der Zunge fast lieblich mit tropischen Früchten. Diese Note wird schnell durch würzige Noten verdrängt, welche vom Alkohol perfekt im Mund entfaltet werden. Vollmundig kann man Schokolade, Röstaromen, etwas Tabak und Eichenholz schmecken. Der Abgang hat einen ganz kurzen Moment von Süße. Sehr intensive Bourbon Noten und ein pfeffriges Holz Extrakt begleiten den Abgang, welcher lang anhält und leichte Bitternoten beinhaltet. Wow. Der 2007 hat mich voll überzeugt. Foursquare wird hier seinem Ruf vollkommen gerecht und für 60 Euro ist das echt viel Rum. Sehr komplex und vollmundig zeigt der Rum, dass er nicht nur Bourbon zu bieten hat. Süße fehlt hier fast komplett. Ich fand es gut, da er so viel andere Aromen bietet, so das der Rum gar nicht langweilig werden kann. Einfach lecker und zum bewussten genießen. Meine Empfehlung: Kaufen solange er noch auf dem Markt ist.

Roadrummers s9t2 continental vs tropical Very nice Foursquare with a long finish. Nice complexity.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
Decent Foursquare release with the usual nosing and tasting notes like: vanilla, coconut, wood,... Nothing spectacular or interesting but as always very high quality and just tasty stuff. Comparing it to the other vintages I have tasted, the 2008 is still the champion.

malá ochutnávka s priateľmi príjemná vôňa profil Foursquare , chuť Barbados jemne ostrý sladkastý višňa, vanilka, slaná čokoláda, finiš po odvetraní slaný karamel
Review by Kieron Wood
Once again Mr seale continues to blow the mind with his exceptional cask series . Incredible in depth cask flavours with slight noses of vanilla but you know that's natural and nothing is added ..
Review by Hans
Genialer Foursquare, alle typische Noten, Abgang nicht zu holzig, Alkohol gut eingebunden. Top. Aber keine außergewöhnliche Aromen
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Contrary to the consensus on the bottle by RumX, I did not enjoy this release. I have had this bottle for several years. Over the course of this period I tried this bottle on a lot of different occasions. Ultimately, the alcohol is very, very disbalanced which overshadows the rest of the flavors involved. Maybe it is just this particular bottle why it is misaligned with the general consensus, but this is just not a good bottle.
Review by Vidaa Wz
Typical foursquare nose Disconcerting on the palate: round but with a medicinal edge that quickly becomes integrated, Long, dry finish
