The Foursquare 2009 Exceptional Cask Selection Mark XVII is a 12-year-old rum that exudes sophistication and depth. Crafted from a blend of column and pot still rums, this extraordinary spirit is aged in ex-bourbon casks and bottled brut de fut without the addition of water, resulting in a robust 60% ABV. This rum, part of the renowned Foursquare Exceptional Cask Selection series, is a testament to the Seale family's long-standing tradition of rum-making, which dates back to the 1650s in Barbados.
Upon first sip, you'll be greeted by an indulgent interplay of American oak and milk chocolate, accompanied by notes of sweet paste, coconut, vanilla, blond tobacco, and sweet spices. As the rum aerates, a more pronounced woody character emerges, revealing layers of toasted nuts enveloped in a warm, resinous caramel. The finish is intense, dominated by alcohol and spice, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and warmth.
With a heritage spanning at least five generations of master rum makers, Foursquare is widely recognized as a leading force in the rum industry. This 17th release in the Exceptional Cask series continues the legacy with its impeccable balance and intricate flavor profile.
