The Foursquare Premise Exceptional Cask Selection Mark VIII is an extraordinary 10-year-old rum, bottled in 2018 at 46% ABV, and presented in a 700ml bottle. This exceptional rum is a meticulous blend of spirits distilled in both pot still and double column stills, hailing from the renowned Foursquare Distillery in Barbados, owned by the Seale family, who have been crafting fine rums for at least five generations.
The nose of this rum is powerful and commanding, reflecting the time it has spent aging in oak casks. Predominant notes of rugged oak, grilled coconut, and vanilla create a complex and enticing aroma. On the palate, the experience begins softly with a slight solvent undertone, soon giving way to a more assertive mid-palate characterized by robust oak, spices, and a developing sweetness highlighted by coconut, vanilla, and blond tobacco. The finish is smooth and creamy, with lingering notes of caramel, rich tobacco, and mellow tannins, offering a stark yet pleasant contrast to the initial boldness.
This expression is a definitive example of the English style of rum, starting with a rugged and oaky profile that evolves into a delightful gourmand experience. The Foursquare distillery's expertise is clearly demonstrated in this rum, making it a noteworthy addition to any connoisseur's collection.

This rum is highly regarded for its complex and evolving flavors. Initially, the relatively low ABV might seem uninspiring, but it reveals its depth over time. The nose is delicate and refined, with hints of sweet vanilla, cooking spices, and a touch of green apple. On the palate, it surprises with a savory mix of green olives and brine, combined with chocolate and warm spices. The finish is soft and medium-length, featuring milk chocolate and nuts against a backdrop of warming spice. Reviewers appreciate its balanced nature, describing it as a must-have for any rum lover, though some find the sherry oak notes a bit overwhelming.
