Mark XVIII in Foursquare’s ECS range, an eleven year Barbados single blend at 48% with no added sugar, layering vanilla, caramel and cocoa over dry oak and a soft wine cask lift of red fruit, rewarding without cask strength heat.
Description
The ECS range is Foursquare's benchmark line of aged Barbados rum, overseen by Richard Seale, a leading voice for additive free, honestly labelled rum and the Single Blended Rum classification. Indelible is the eighteenth Mark in the series, an eleven year blend of pot and column still spirit from one distillery, bottled with no added sugar, colouring or flavouring.
Matured in the Caribbean and showing a finishing influence from red wine casks, it offers vanilla, caramel and chocolate over a dry, woody frame, with a gentle wine driven red fruit note and a hint of coconut. At 48% it is approachable and easy to sip rather than a cask strength heavyweight, which makes it an inviting entry into the ECS world for drinkers who enjoy the balanced, elegant Bajan profile and want it a touch drier and more contemplative. Honest, transparent and built on the spirit and the wood alone.
