600 bottles 
happy hunting if you want it 
The hype around a standard (even if very good) product like Foursquare shows how excellent salesmen Luca Gargano and Richard Seale are.
I really like the Foursquare taste profile. It is a perfect rum to relax, light a good cigar, read a good book and listen to a good record without āworkingā on the rum. Not more and not less. But Foursquares are nothing I would spend a lot of money and energy to hunt down. They are all excellent standard products, and all are a similar interpretation of the same melody. Something Foursquare has in common with Caroni, but without the story and without the unique profile.
So that it is. A good sipper, not too expensive (ECS 20XX), easily available. My favorites are the ECS 2004 and the Plenipoā¦
And at the end it is all about our personal tastes. So far my thoughts on Foursquare.

As the Foursquare Fans long hope for pure pot still releases (within Velier or ECS range mostly?) this is surely a hype bottle.

Letās update the discussion from 2023 perspective. The prices of new ECS releases (except the first few) are generally lower than the newest ones. Even the auction prices of, letās say the 2005 donāt reach the prices of shibboleth at its release. It seems that this is producer-driven rather than buyer-driven. I somehow donāt like the direction it goes.

This the kind of great discussion I came looking for. With the release of FS 2011, the retailers in my area started discounting FS 2010 by like 20% so far. And thereās plenty left on the shelves. RS is definitely a good salesman and leaning very hard into making rum (esp FS) the new whiskey, with single casks, rare casks, special finished casks, just like American whiskey. Now, point me to the thread where we can debate āspecial cask finishā vs ādosageā. That should be equally fun. Cheers.
