The Foursquare 2009 Ferroni is a remarkable 9-year-old rum, distilled in 2009 and initially aged in bourbon casks at the Foursquare distillery in Barbados. This captivating rum boasts a hefty 63.5% ABV and offers an intriguing medley of aromas and flavors.
On the nose, it opens immediately with pleasing notes of bourbon barrel (vanilla, tender wood, coconut, and tobacco), followed by a subtle solvent that adds a touch of wax and concentration to the woody aromas, enhancing the toasted coconut and blond tobacco. The oak's toasting is well-measured, allowing for the full expression of generously tannined red fruits, with fleshy flesh and thick skin.
The palate is concentrated and begins with a solvent that spreads with richness. The rum focuses on a melt-in-your-mouth, grainy, and toasted wood, with coconut and a rum caramel and vanilla spread. The toasted oak is intense (wax, caramel, and licorice), but very enjoyable and savory. The soy sauce and caramel linger, leaving a delightfully indulgent sensation.
Following its initial aging in Barbados, the rum was imported to Provence, where it spent an additional 12 months maturing in Vin Doux Naturel de Rasteau casks before being bottled at natural cask strength. Aeration further opens the profile, revealing even more delightful coconut, tobacco, and vanilla notes.
This exceptional rum showcases an incredible variety of aromas and intensity, making it a must-try for dedicated rum lovers. Its complexity, balance, and long-lasting warmth have earned it high praise from enthusiasts.
