The Foursquare Covenant Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XXIII is a limited edition 18-year-old rum from the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados. Distilled in 2004 and 2005, this exquisite spirit was initially aged in ex-bourbon casks for 10 years before being transferred for further aging for an additional 8 years. The distillery employs both pot-still and column-still distillation methods to produce a rich variety of aromas and flavors, resulting in a deep and complex rum.
This collaboration between the Foursquare Distillery and the esteemed rum expert Richard Seale bears witness to their commitment to creating exceptional rums. Known for its rich history of rum production dating back to 1820, the Foursquare Distillery continues to impress connoisseurs with its masterful craftsmanship.
The Covenant 2011 Rum stands out for its 17-year tropical aging in ex-bourbon casks, which imparts an extraordinary depth and complexity. It boasts a full-bodied, complex, and exotic aroma profile, featuring notes of mango, pineapple, apricot, and citrus, complemented by hints of toffee, coconut, and spices. On the palate, it delivers flavors of sweet caramel, juicy dates, ripe mango, candied orange, and dark chocolate, followed by a dry finish of black tea, eucalyptus, and burned rubber.
With an ABV of 58%, this rum is a pot and column distilled product from the Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, matured entirely in bourbon casks. The Covenant Mark XXIII is the oldest release from Foursquare to date and is a true masterpiece for rum connoisseurs and collectors. This rum deserves to be enjoyed with respect and attention, either neat or as a base in high-quality cocktails.

This rum is a collaboration between the Foursquare Distillery and renowned rum expert Richard Seale.
Overall taste: The rum offers a complex and multifaceted flavor profile, featuring notes of caramel, spice, roasted notes, and tropical fruit nuances.
The rum has a surprisingly muted nose with classic Foursquare bourbon notes of caramel and wood, along with a hint of unidentifiable aroma that lands with lychee. The palate is more classic, with oak present but not overpowering, accompanied by bright spices and tropical fruits soaked in caramel. The finish brings layers of spice with a long and lingering warm edge. While it is good, it may not be as elevated as some of the cask finishes or as crisp as its 2008 younger sibling, according to some reviews.
